#4 Riyad Mahrez (Reader's rank: 7 | Sportskeeda's rank: 3)
Premier League’s PFA Player of the Year and 7th in the Ballon d’Or voting list this year, Riyad Mahrez has had an absolutely sensational 12 months. Simply mesmerising with his feet, Mahrez created numerous chances, scored plenty of goals and often left defences flat-footed with his bag of tricks.
The main architect of Leicester’s fairytale Premier League triumph along with Kante and Vardy, Mahrez even won the BBC African Player of the year and is the talisman of the brave Foxes side who have made the Champions League round of 16 this year.
The Algerian winger has slightly faded away this season, but for his stupendous achievements in the first half of the season, Mahrez definitely deserves to be on the top 10 list.
Another player’s position where the in-house experts and you readers have disagreed slightly is Mahrez’s position. While we at SK gave him a high rank of 3 for his spectacular performances for Leicester in the first half of the year, the readers think other candidates have been worthy of more votes and have ranked him at 7, making his overall rank 4.
