Shakhtar has a very good midfield in three Brazilian OMs: Bernard (79), Taison (81) and Marlos (80), as well as reliable Brazilian (of course) DM Fred (80) and Ukrainian international Taras Stepanenko (79). This midfield alone makes Shakhtar worthy of at least a try in a friendly game. They can hold the ball and allow for some serious positional attacks.

When you're opponent is able to take over the ball, there's always the safe hands of goalkeeper Andriy Pyatov (80) to keep your sheet clean. Just like Valencia, Shakhtar lack a world class striker, but with such midfield, who cares? If that's a problem, you can always move one of the Brazilians to the front.
