Aug 4, 2021 · Saúl looks like he will leave, but with Koke, Llorente and De Paul as the central midfielders in a 3-5-2, bracketed by two wingers, Atlético might have the best group of midfielders in LaLiga (depending on what else happens in the transfer market).

This was arguably the toughest position to choose from, as selecting one of Jan Oblak and Alisson is never an easy task. Both goalkeepers are the best in their respective leagues and thoroughly valuable to their respective sides. However, we've picked the Slovenian for our best XI purely on the basis of his consistency in the last seven years. Unli...
Liverpool will be boosted by the return of their talismanic right-back, who's made a difference for them in big games like this on so many occasions. Widely considered among the best-ever full-backs in the Premier League, the 23-year-old's crossing ability is second to none. He can switch play instantly and creates numerous chances for his teammate...
After back-to-back seasons riddled with injuries, Joel Matiphas returned to his best form again. He's duly repaid the faith Jurgen Klopp has shown in him following a centre-back rotation and looks set to keep Joe Gomez on the sidelines for now He's forged a stoic partnership with Virgil van Dijk at the heart of defense. Combining vision, strength a...
The big Dutchman, who also missed a chunk of last season with a horrific knee injury, has made an incredible recovery. He's returned to the side like he's never left, coming up big in all his appearances this season. Known for his strength, leadership and uncanny aerial ability, Van Dijkis widely hailed as the best centre-back in the world. However...
Completing our all-Liverpool defense is Scottish ace Andrew Robertson, who's brought a new dimension to the side's attack on the left. He and Alexander-Arnold's partnership is arguably the best full-back pairing in the world. The former Hull City defender is blessed with electric pace and incredible energy, whilst possessing a crossing ability that...
Jordan Hendersonis more than Liverpool's captain. He's their midfield talisman, key to dictating their play whilst also important at regaining possession and shielding the back-four. As he demonstrated against AC Milan in their opening Champions League match of the season, the 31-year-old possesses a keen eye for goal too and can be a huge threat i...
As far as underrated midfielders are concerned, Koke is right up there at the very top of the list. He's been an impeccable presence in midfield for Atletico Madrid for several years and his experience will be crucial in getting one over this in-form Liverpool side again. He's incredibly versatile, capable of playing across various positions in mid...
There's no player better in current form than Mohamed Salah, who's taken apart every defense in his way. Having scored in each of his last eight games for Liverpool, he's simply unstoppable at the moment. It's a real travesty that the Egyptian ace is not even mentioned in the Ballon d'Or race, because when you consider only the individual performan...
He was a natural striker but Roberto Firmino's role at Liverpool has transformed into more of a supporting one for Salah and Mane; a number 10. So we've put him in that role here too. Either way, the Brazilian was also undroppable in his current form. He scored twice against Porto in the Champions League last month and is now coming off the back of...
Following a slump in form last season, Sadio Manehas returned to his best in the current campaign. He's netted six times in 10 games across all competitions, including one in each of his last three games. The Senegalese ace combines electric speed with mazy runs to get onto the end of crosses and, as we've come to know already, possesses devastatin...

Jun 15, 2022 · Up against “superstars” like Paul Pogba or Bruno Fernandes, Kondogbia single-handedly took the game by the scruff of the neck and dominated the midfield battle. Kondogbia’s performances were of a very high level, and arguably the most consistent of any midfielder in these ratings.
