Second Midfielder: David Silva

The Spanish Magician is a world-class talent that brings the best out of his teammates. The offense goes through him and that is a huge responsibility on the pitch. He finds pockets of space in opposing defenses and isn’t afraid to shoot either. For most top European teams, Silva would be one of the first names on the team sheet.
