#1 Sergio Busquets
The Spaniard has been one of Barcelona's most reliable players in the recent decade and deserves to top this list. His excellent passing, well-timed tackles and intelligence are the things that made the 30-year-old the gold-standard for every defensive midfielder in the world.

Many have criticized him for his lack of pace, but his excellent playmaking and ball-winning abilities can compensate most of his weaknesses. The Spaniard had not seen any considerable injury throughout this campaign, starting 30 and 11 times in La Liga and the Champions League respectively.
Barcelona might have crashed out of the Champions League in the semi-final stage, but he did well for his side at the competition. He has recorded a solid three tackles and 1.4 intercepts per game combined in the Champions League and La Liga.
His renowned playmaking skills are still intact as he completed more than 90 percent of his deliveries. Overall, Busquets has been way more consistent than Fabinho and thus, he deserves to be on top of this list.
