It might be odd to say that Bernardo Silva will be an underrated player because his rating is liable to be around 86, however he's so much better than that number suggests.

Bernardo Silva was integral to Manchester City's Premier League winning campaign last year. The 25-year old Portugal man played 36 games last season in the league alone, scoring seven goals and crafting seven assists. As is often the case however, having a helping hand in just 14 goals downplays how big of an impact he has on Manchester City overall - similar to Fernandinho.

Manchester City have been seeking a replacement for David Silva and they've certainly found one in both name and talent. He may lose a lot of plaudits and headlines to his teammates Segrio Augero, Raheem Sterling, and Kevin De Bruyne, but Bernardo Silva is nigh on irreplaceable for City.

As such, his rating needs to be higher. Last year Raheem Serling was rated 87, but his score is likely to be 88 or 89 this year, and Silva's should be the same. He might not be providing the assists of De Bruyne or the goals of Sterling, but Silva provides the oh-so important intangibles.
