5 Players who give it their all on the pitch

Toni Kroos - Real Madrid

Last campaign, the German international made two defensive actions per game on average

Not completely dissimilar to the aforementioned Koke, former Munich-maestro Kroos shields the Real Madrid back-line alongside Croatian Luka Modric, undoubtedly the more attacking minded of the two. Last campaign, the German international made two defensive actions per game on average, combined with an average 94% pass completion rate.

In Euro 2016, Kroos covered a total 68,393m throughout the tournament, with only a handful of players topping him, while he finished the championships with the most attempted passes (653) as well as the most successfully complete (608).

Seldom is he caught drifting out of position and it’s his eagerness to close down every opposition player which earns him a solid place on this list.
