So no more Kroos. Who are the best passers from CM/DM in his absence?

What happened to English Midfielders? the passing Art was something associated with English Midfielders but today you hardly see one that stands out.
 
Xhaka or Rodri? Both very good users of the ball, the latter possibly the best player in the world or at least the best midfielder.
I doubt even Rodri's own mother would claim that he is the best player at his own club, nevermind the world.

You’d cum in your pants if your DM was bagging 20 goals and assists in a season, on top of being the absolute best defensive midfielder on planet earth in the absolute prime of his career.

He has a legitimate claim to being the best player in the world, though this year doesn’t carry any Champions League currency, and almost certainly won’t get any Euros currency either.
