CM) Cesc Fabregas – Chelsea
Simply one of the most gifted midfielders of his generation, Fabregas can do just about everything and is still only 27. Few players have won two European championships and a World Cup at the age of 23; the former Arsenal skipper’s emergence from an early age was the cause of that.
CM) Bastian Schweinsteiger – Bayern Munich
Schweinsteiger will go down as one of the greatest midfielders ever and a potential European Championship winners medal in 2016 will see him lift every trophy available to him whilst remaining with one club.
CAM) Mesut Ozil – Arsenal
The creative hub of the world champions, Ozil deserves a mention in any All-Star XI and with many hailing Jose Mourinho as the best manager the world, the fact that he maintains that Ozil is the “best No.10 in the world” (via Sky Sports) means his position in this XI was a formality.
