#3 Mario Mandzukic
The powerful Croatian enjoyed an excellent World Cup, and this seems to be the main reason for his inclusion. The striker has managed just five league goals in 2018, and he often struggles to get into Juventus' starting 11 due to their array of attacking talent.
The 32-year-old's inclusion can be attributed to his performances in Russia, where he scored in both the semi-final and the final during Croatia's incredible run.
When you consider his performances over the whole of 2018, the Croatian is very fortunate to be on the 30 man shortlist.
