Fernandinho

Fernandinho is a connoisseur's footballer, and I rate him exactly for the reasons casual fans overlook. Defensive midfielders rarely get the headlines, yet he was the quiet engine of Manchester City's dominance, breaking up play and dictating tempo with reading and positioning rather than flash. Being called one of the best Brazilians ever to grace the Premier League is no small praise for a man who chose substance over spectacle. I admire players whose value shows up in the work, not the highlight reel, and few embody that craftsman's ethic better than him.
