Miralem Pjanic - 285.75 Performance Pts

Born: 02/04/1990    Tuzla, Bosnia And Herzegovina          

Position: Midfielder     Height: 1.78m    Weight: 72kg

Pjanic is a talented midfielder currently playing for CSKA Moscow and was also a Bosnian international achieving 115 caps. He represented them at their first ever major tournament - the 2014 World Cup; he had the honour of scoring in Bosnia’s first ever tournament victory (3-1 against Iran) but they were unable to make it past the group stage. His professional club career began with Metz in 2007; despite suffering relegation in his debut season, his performances attracted numerous suitors, and he joined Lyon in 2008. That same season that saw Metz go down (2007-08) was also the last of Lyon's 7 successive championships, and despite finishing in the top 3 in each of his 3 seasons there, Pjanic failed to lift the Ligue Un title. He moved to Italy in 2011 and spent 5 seasons with Roma. Title success still eluded him, although the Giallorossi did achieve a couple of 2nd place finishes. For anyone wanting to taste title success in Serie A at this time, joining Juventus would be the wisest move, and so it proved. Pjanic came to Turin in 2016 and won 4 consecutive Scudetti. He joined Barcelona in 2020 and stayed there for 2 seasons without leaving much of a mark, before spending 2 years in the UAE league.
