Miguel Veloso

Miguel Veloso is the kind of midfielder I always appreciate watching, because so much of his value never shows up in highlight reels. A defensive midfielder who could also shift to attacking left-back, he built his name at Sporting CP with over 150 appearances before a long run in Italy with Genoa and Hellas Verona, racking up more than 200 Serie A games. That sustained level in a demanding league tells me everything about his reliability. Coming out of Coimbra, Portugal, and later moving into coaching, he strikes me as a player whose football intelligence naturally points toward the bench.
