Unlike 20 years ago, modern football necessitates specialized defensive midfielders to maintain team structure. FourFourTwo's expert panel, which included renowned analysts and scouts, devised a ranking of the top 10 defensive midfielders based on both personal evaluation and statistical metrics. While over 30 players were initially considered, the list was refined to the top performers, emphasizing the importance of both individual skill and quantitative data in recognizing excellence in this essential position.
In modern football, it's a necessity of any team that a specialised defensive midfielder holds the midfield together, even if the roles become blurred during games.
A team of esteemed football experts was assembled by FourFourTwo to rank the best players in the world, focusing on the top 10 no.6s.
