Top 5 EPL midfielder after the 22nd day

Last weekend was far from vintage, but several championship midfielders stood out with their performances in both halves, helping their teams to score important points early in the second half of the season. .

Manchester City are the masters of the midfield. Their style of play ensures that midfielders are the undisputed stars. However, there are other players who, even if they do not play in an always personalized system, did not make mistakes on the 22nd day.

5. Georginio Wijnaldum:

Often the persona-non-grata, Wijnaldum has more than proved his value during this season. He was promoted to a permanent place on the bench after Liverpool's summer affairs, but the Dutchman was their most consistent performer. In a tough game against Brighton, with a makeshift defense, he did not put on a foot and played at his leisurely pace.

4. Paul Pogba:

Reborn, Paul Pogba is the personification of speech. The signing of the Manchester United record is finally proving since the arrival of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. Tottenham was United's first real challenge, and Pogba held up well. A magnificent stroke of magic allowed Marcus Rashford's goals to score.

3. Fernandinho:

The Brazilian is the most important piece of Pep Guardiola's puzzle and undoubtedly the first name on the team sheet. His performances have always been good and his display at full speed against Wolves was more or less the same. The 33-year-old is no closer to showing signs of his age and the Cityzens desperately want him to stay in shape until the end of the season.

2. Declan Rice:

Declan Rice is in the middle of an enigma when it comes to choosing his national colors, but the teenager was absolutely decisive on the field against Arsenal. His performance in both boxes was exceptional. Deployed as a defensive midfielder, he also scored his first goal in the Premier League by ensuring he got the 3 points of the London Derby. Barely 20 years old, Rice is already showing the merits of a long-standing youth policy at Messers Gold and Sullivan.

1. Bernardo Silva:

The small Portuguese has outclbaded his namesake David Silva and the very injured Kevin De Bruyne this season. He was absolutely buzzing all over the field against the Wolves. It was Bernardo who persuaded Willy Boly to give a worthy tackle after a 19-minute red card, which turned the match into an easy drive for the defending champions.
