#2 Gerard Pique (Barcelona)

Pique is a reliable passer of the ball, completing 91% of his attempted passes, and possesses the ability to break opposition lines with his passing. The 6'4'' centre-back can boss the opposition in the air and wins 3.3 duels per game across all competitions for Barcelona. His physicality also makes him a serious threat from set-pieces.
The 32-year old has been brilliant for Barcelona once again this season, helping them keep 20 clean sheets across all competitions this season. The centre-back is approaching the dawn of his career but is still managing to produce brilliant performances game after game.
