97 DAVID DE GEA
Spain | Manchester United | Premier League | GK
The Spanish international has become a vital member of the United squad in recent seasons, and he played an important role in their league.
95 VIRGIL VAN DIJK
Netherlands | Liverpool | Premier League | CB
Van Dijk uses his Physical rating to boss opponents around, collapsing any sense of personal space they had when they entered his domain. Combined with an excellent Defending rating, Van Dijk is the archetypal modern center back—and he’s in the prime of his career.
96 RAPHAEL VARANE
France | Real Madrid | LaLiga | CB
As if it weren’t impressive enough that Varane has been a regular starter in Real Madrid’s backline since he was 20, the big center back has also been a staple for the French national team since he was first capped in 2013. With plenty of challengers for his position, Varane must continue earning clean sheets for Madrid if he hopes to earn them for his country, too.
97 SÉRGIO RAMOS
Spain | Real Madrid | LaLiga | CB
One of the most decorated defenders in history, Ramos’ versatility and uncanny football intelligence have made him key to Real Madrid’s successes for more than a decade.
94 MARCELO
Brazil | Real Madrid | LaLiga | LB
Another decade-long mainstay for Real Madrid’s defense, Marcelo is a balanced fullback; on top of his incredible tackling and 1-on-1 defending, speed and technical ability make him a nightmare for opposing defenders.
99 LUKA MODRIC
Croatia | Real Madrid | LaLiga | CM
Perhaps the best Croatian footballer in history, Modrić has made a name for himself in Madrid as a hard-working, multi-talented midfielder that can adapt to any tactic or opponent. Whether attacking behind the forwards or controlling the play from a deeper position, Modrić is a midfield marvel.
96 N’GOLO KANTÉ
France | Chelsea FC | Premier League | CDM
A paragon of the old school central midfielder archetype, Kanté can do just about anything. Whether intercepting a dangerous attack, making a last-ditch tackle at the edge of the box, or squeezing an inch-perfect pass through the defense, Kanté is the type of player everyone wants on their team.
97 KEVIN DE BRUYNE
Belgium | Manchester City | Premier League | CAM
A prominent member of the greatest talent pool in Belgium national team history, De Bruyne is also one of the sport’s most complete midfielders. From creating chances to defending to scoring crucial goals, De Bruyne can seemingly do anything.
99 CRISTIANO RONALDO
Portugal | Juventus | Serie A | ST
It’s nearly impossible to say anything about Cristiano Ronaldo without dipping into hyperbole. Undoubtedly one of the greatest players of all time, Ronaldo is still breaking records—many of them his own. The Real Madrid attacker has won countless individual, club, and international trophies, a tally to which he’s surely going to add to in the future.
99 LIONEL MESSI
Argentina | FC Barcelona | LaLiga | CF
The only current player who gets and deserves as much effusive hype and praise as Ronaldo, the Argentine wizard‘s talent and skill on the ball have few equals in footballing history. Like Ronaldo, Messi often gets a similar free attacking role—he’s too good to pin down to one position. He continues to lead his club’s front line fearlessly, racking up plenty of goals and assists along the way.
97 KYLIAN MBAPPÉ
France | Paris Saint-Germain | Ligue 1 | RW
As if commanding a massive transfer fee as a teenager wasn’t enough, Mbappé showed off what Paris Saint-Germain saw in him last season and during the 2018 World Cup. Mbappé never hesitates to show off his Pace and Dribbling ratings, bombarding the right wing every chance he gets.
