The OMAC is the player you build around - in real life, and in fantasy. The nine is your Golden Boot hopeful. But the ten... the ten is something magical. The attacking midfielder. The small, skillful player directing his teams forward play, taking set pieces, and finishing moves. They may play off a striker, or behind a pair. They may be a false 9, but especially come the World Cup, these are the players the hipsters love, and at whom scouts can't throw enough money.
- Antoine Griezmann (he's part 9, part 10, and almost an OMAC, and will get a mention in each of those posts)
- David Silva (he's part 10, part wide-forward. In fact, half the Spain side fits that bill, so let's add...)
- Isco
- Luka Modric
- Mesut Ozil
- James Rodriguez
- Gylfi Sigurdsson
- Carlos Vela (listed as a forward, and probably starting)
- Giovanni Dos Santos (listed as a midfielder, and probably not starting)
- Hakim Ziyach
- Shinji Kagawa
- Christian Cueva
- Joao Mario
- Giorgian De Arrascaeta
Hakim Ziyach and Christian Cueva, would complete my bargain tens. My (playing at the tip of the) diamonds in the rough.
