#1 Neymar
Neymar primarily plays as either a central striker, second striker, winger or occasionally as an attacking midfielder. Having been described as a true phenomenon, Neymar's main traits are his creativity, vision, passing, finishing, dribbling, feints and technique,being described as both electric and explosive.
His dribbling skills, tricks and playmaking ability are reminiscent of compatriot Ronaldinho. Although naturally right footed, he is capable of scoring with both feet, as well as with his head, and is an accurate free-kick and penalty taker. Neymar has scored 53 goals in 83 matches for Brazil.
Being the X-factor for Brazil in 2018 FIFA World Cup, his goals as well as his link-up play with other players will determine whether Brazil can lift the World Cup. The nation's expectations will be riding on his shoulders.
