2. Lucas Leiva

The Brazilian has been at Liverpool for more than 8 years and knows the Anfield system better than most of his compatriots. He has shown decent form this season playing in defensive roles. He has the ability to hold possession and be instrumental in the middle of the park. However, his future at Liverpool looks a bit under the clouds but if he is retained over the next season and if Henderson leaves, Jurgen Klopp might consider him as a possible option for the position of a skipper.
