No progressive passes, no progressive carries, not good in overall creation. Sorry, but Fernandinho was great in every aspect of that, even when he was over 35. Phillips has good defensive stats, but you can find a better midfielder with good defensive stats as well and great in terms of overall progression.

Philips is very good on the ball,his passing and distribution is plenty good enough.

Im not sure people have watched much of him,it appears many have a preconceived perception of his abilities,and vastly under estimate his quality.

Quick comparison to Bennacer, Haidara, Thuram, Sangare & Laimer. Per 90

Phillips - Progressive pass distance 2nd, progressive passes 3rd. Interceptions 3rd. Tackles & Interceptions 1st. Cross field passes 2nd

And everyone you mentioned play in a much lesser league than Phillips.

They seem the most obvious we'd target, couldn't be arsed checking the rest. I do like Bennacer though.

Phillips might not create shots/assists but moving the ball. He can do that in his sleep.

A few on here judging him on an injury hit season where the team he plays for imploded and nearly got relegated as well. Not sure why exactly.

A few seemingly know the defensive midfield position better than Pep himself as well.

Remember the pelters when Pep signed Rodri for 60m. We will see the same here.
