#8 Marquinhos (Brazil, PSG)
The Brazilian defender is one of the pillars of the Paris Saint-Germain team who have taken European Football by storm. PSG have scored the most goals in the top leagues of Europe this season and while their attacking superstars have taken all the credit, the defenders, especially the Brazilian, have laid out a stable backbone for the team to build upon.

Marquinhos is an extremely versatile player who is equally adept at playing Defensive Midfielder and Center back. While he is not the fastest player around, he makes up for it by his immaculate positioning and sound defensive skills. He has played both in defence and midfield for PSG this season, and has been commanding in both positions.
The Brazilian can also be a threat in front of goal, especially from set pieces and Marquinhos has already scored 4 times this season from 36 games. He is a brilliant passer of the ball and is the man who keeps this PSG team ticking regardless of where he plays.
