#2.. Lionel Messi
What is there to be said about Lionel Andres Messi that has already not been repeated a thousand times across the world over?
Trending
He has started this season just like he has started so many - like he wants to win everything all by himself - and already has 14 goals in 11 games this season (including 11 from 7 La Liga games), while he's created 13 chances just in La Liga already.
Under new manager, Ernesto Valverde, the magician seems to have reverted to the false nine position in which he hit his individual peak under Pep Guardiola and he seems to be enjoying using those inimitable dribbling skills in the centre of the park... his finishing as ever exceptional.
If there is one thing that has disappointed, though, it's his form for Argentina - while he's been the sole shining light in Argentina's abysmal World Cup Qualification campaign, he has his work cut out in guiding La Albiceleste to the 2018 World Cup with two tough fixtures coming up.
