i don't know the criteria used for this ranking. but i believe casemiro and makalele are pure class in terms of Tackle and interception. Busiquite is better than Rodri in terms of holding and balancing the game. Alonso is too good in quick chance creation. kante was so good at driving the mood of the game forward. in short, it's hard to say this one is better than the other because each has some specialization that the others don't.

Kante should be no.1, there’s no player here better than him in that position. And Yaya Toure should be ahead of Busquets

No.1 should be Sergio Busquets not Rodri who forced to play at centre back by 34 years old Busquets

Well, I think Viera and Yaya Toure should have a spot here. I think. 🤔
