Second Center Midfielder – David Silva

A veteran of the Premier League, Silva is still producing at a high-rate at the age of 31. Normally paired with De Bruyne in an attacking role, Silva has been able to consistently help Manchester City score goals. Despite only six assists so far this season in league-play, Silva’s ability to change a game on his own is always a threat for opposing teams. He is a crisp passer of the ball, and always finds some nice areas to attack. If Manchester City want to consistently score, Silva must be in the starting-lineup.
