Midfielders
RCM: N’Golo Kante (France, Chelsea)
The greatest testament to the diminutive Frenchman’s quality is the state of his former team (from Champions to relegation contenders) and his current one (from mid-table mediocrity to runaway leaders at the top). He is all lungs-and-heart and has a wonderful footballing brain that makes the teams he plays for tick.
CM: Toni Kroos (Germany, Real Madrid)
The German metronome is a class act who can set the pace of his team or rake accurate long-yarders at will, whichever the need of the hour is. Unflappable under pressure and with a right foot that rarely misses its target, his inclusion is a no-brainer.

LCM: Luka Modric (Croatia, Real Madrid)
The Croatian magician is a class apart and there are few footballers on the planet today who can do the things he can with the ball – vision, accuracy, in-game intelligence and shooting ability are just a few of the footballing qualities in which he tops the class in.
