Claudio Bravo had a rough season with Manchester City, but managed to make the eleven because of his standout performance it the penalty kick shootout against Portugal. The Chilean international didn't even concede one penalty during the shootout. Bravo also made other saves to help his team. Though he wasn't as consistent as Ter Stegen, he did have a more notable tournament.
Jonas Hector played lights out in every match at the Confederations Cup. Not only did he play a strong defensive role, Hector was also getting up the field and helping out with the attack. He even managed to obtain two assists in his four games.
The best center back at the tournament had to be Antonio Ruediger. He was a nightmare for those trying to score against him. Ruediger could out muscle and out pace almost everyone he went against. He also had a very nice passing game to accompany his strong defense.
Another stand out center back would have to be Portugal's Pepe. He loves his country and plays with his heart, Pepe leads the team' defense who only conceded three goals at the tournament, which funny enough were all to Mexico.

Miguel Layun was fun to watch during the tournament. He lead the Mexican midfield to be quite successful is most matches. Though he din't score a goal or grab an assist, he was overall a great player on the field.
What is there to say about Arturo Vidal. He work ethic on the pitch allowed him to own the midfield in every match. Vidal's aggression and passion help him to be one of the best in the world's game.
Julian Draxler won player of the tournament at this year's Confederations Cup. He captained Germany to their first title and was involved in pretty much every attacking play the Germans put together.
