- Kevin De Bruyne. Manchester City and Belgium. Could it have been anyone else? While Kevin De Bruyne might have his injury problems, there's no denying that when he's fit and firing, he's among the best players in the world, let alone just for his position.
- Luka Modric. Real Madrid and Croatia. What would a greatest midfielders list be without having Luka Modric in it? The Croatian has been the heartbeat of Real Madrid ever since his move from Tottenham, and the fact he even stopped the Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi domination to win the Ballon d'Or in 2018 speaks volumes of the kind of talent and esteem he is held in.
- Rodri. Manchester City and Spain. On form right now, Rodri stakes a claim for being the best midfielder in the world. When he arrived from Atletico Madrid, many anticipated him to be the long-term Fernandinho replacement at Manchester City, a holding player who would break up attacks and pass it simple to his more creative teammates.
- Martin Odegaard. Arsenal and Norway. For all the plaudits that the likes of Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli received during Arsenal's title charge last season, and rightly so, it's easy to forget the incredible contributions of the Gunners' captain.

- Pape Matar Sarr
- Teun Koopmeiners
- Curtis Jones
- Henrikh Mkhitaryan
- Manuel Locatelli
- Piotr Zielinski
- Vitinha
- Christian Eriksen
- Mateo Kovacic
- Leon Goretzka
Few expected Pape Matar Sarr to become quite as important to Tottenham as he has this season. Only his participation in the Africa Cup of Nations forced him out of Ange Postecoglou's team. He could prove to be a big player for a long, long time.
Teun Koopmeiners became one of the best players in Serie A last season thanks to a stunning ten league goals for Atalanta. He is well on his way to replicating that feat this term. Don't be shocked to see him playing for one of Europe's elite clubs very, very soon.
When a player is slowly introduced to the first team rather than arriving with a big transfer fee, they can go under the radar. That has been the case for Curtis Jones. An increasing regular in Liverpool's starting XI, he produces some fine displays in Jurgen Klopp's midfield and deserves praise for it.
Certain players seem to age like fine wine, and Henrikh Mkhitaryan is definitely one of them. Having lost his way at Manchester United and Arsenal, Mkhitaryan headed to Italy and rebuilt himself at Roma. The move to Inter proved to be very smart, and despite being 35 years old, he plays almost every game and storms up and down the pitch.
Manuel Locatelli has been on the scene for a while now and he goes under the radar. He is very consistent and has every part of midfield play in his locker. The boyhood Bianconeri fan has played almost every game for Juventus this season and may get more plaudits if he was in a more attack-minded team.
Piotr Zielinski is one of the world's most underrated performers. He doesn't blow you away physically or even technically, but he's such a smart footballer who's produced consistently for Napoli since his arrival in 2016. The Poland international has appeared in at least 35 Serie A games every season since his arrival, which is a testament to his a...
Vitinha has come on leaps and bounds at PSG since he joined from FC Porto. The Portuguese midfielder is so tidy on the ball and has been chipping in with a healthy number of goals this season.
Christian Eriksen's arrival was an incredibly smart piece of business by Manchester United as he joined on a free transfer from Brentford in 2022. Considering his health issues, there were concerns Eriksen would not be able to cut it at the top end of the Premier League anymore but he has proved those doubters wrong. Erik ten Hag has deployed Eriks...
If only this guy didn't pick up so many injuries. Mateo Kovacic is a wonderful player to watch and he came into his own at Chelsea following an indifferent start under Maurizio Sarri. The Croatian is one of the most proficient ball-progressing midfielders in the world. Not only can he evade challenges like a prime Mousa Dembele and carry the ball i...
Leon Goretzka's transformation from lean and skinny to mean and mighty helped him morph into one of the world's most destructive midfielders. The German international certainly isn't the cleanest of technicians but is incredibly effective at what he does. He times his runs into the box superbly, while he's an indefatigable runner out of possession....
- Bernardo Silva. There are specialists in football who excel at one particular role – and Guardiola has leant on them. Oleksandr Zinchenko, from inverted left-back.
- Antoine Griezmann. Some wondered if Antoine Griezmann could ever surprise them again. An underdog who never played in France yet became Les Bleus' posterboy at a home Euros, he won a World Cup from Oliver Giroud's shadow, became the very definition of the SS position for Diego Simeone – El Cholo built an Atletico Madrid side around Griezmann's talents – and then left for Barcelona as a monarch.
- Ilkay Gundogan. Whatever job Pep Guardiola gave him, he looked like one of the best footballers in the world while doing it. No.8 in a possession-heavy side, dictating the traffic of the game and allowing Kevin De Bruyne to attack?
- Pedri. The crowning jewel of Xavi's side, the very apex of modern juego de posicion and the heir to Andres Iniesta's No.8 shirt… is adopted. He never came from La Masia – plucked from Las Palmas, instead – but his influence is as infinite as that digit on his back.
- Kevin De Bruyne (Manchester City) Kevin De Bruyne is almost a throwback to an earlier era - a player that does things in midfield that no other player can.
- Rodri (Manchester City) The beating heart of City's midfield, Rodri's influence is such that Pep Guardiola's side haven't lost in any of the last 54 games that the Spanish star has played - totalling over a year.
- Jude Bellingham (Real Madrid) One of the best central midfield players on the planet, Jude Bellingham has added goals to his game this season - but not many would have predicted this many.
- Bernardo Silva (Manchester City) That Bernardo Silva is only fourth on this list is a credit to the three players ahead of him, rather than any slight on the Portuguese supremo, who could easily be number one.
