Manuel Ugarte

I have a soft spot for defensive midfielders, and Manuel Ugarte is exactly the kind I love to watch. He does the unglamorous work, breaking up play and recycling possession, that lets the flashier names shine at Manchester United and for Uruguay. Coming through Fenix's academy and reaching the first team at 16 tells me he was built for this through patience and grit. Born in 2001, he is still early in his arc, and the best anchors usually peak later. I think he is a player to follow over the long haul rather than judge by any single season.
