#2 Isco – Real Madrid
If there ever was a player who was a like to like replacement for the World Cup winning Spaniard it is Real Madrid superstar Isco. Blessed with an incredible vision and an equally good passing range, Isco is the perfect midfielder to help fill the void left in the absence of Iniesta.
The 25-year-old is excellent at holding on to the ball and can dictate the tempo of the game from midfield while also having the required skill set to take the ball and dribble forward. He also has a knack of getting into scoring positions as is visible from his return of 13 goals and 8 assists this season. Further to that, Isco can occupy literally any position in midfield be it that of an attacking midfielder, a deep lying playmaker or a good old central midfielder.
