#5 Luka Modric (Real Madrid)
The best player in Europe last year, Modric's performances for Croatia and Real Madrid saw him have the best year of his career. He has shown his dribbling prowess his entire career, which is reflected in EA Sports's assessment of him by giving him a 91 dribbling.
Modric has the best stats for a central midfielder. Even though his supplementary stats aren't as flashy as the other players on this list, he is probably the most functional player here. He has 76 pace and shot, but a mind-blowing 90 for passing. He has adequate defensive stats at 70 and the best physicality on this list at a low 67. Packing two 4-star ratings, Modric may be the midfield general every team would be lucky to have.
