First Centerback — Nicolas Otamendi
Out of the CB’s available for both teams, Otamendi is the best. The Argentine has become a better defender in year #2 at Manchester City and has been a strong leader in defense. His versatility on corners and free-kicks is a bonus, and he is someone who the younger defenders can look up to in the future.
