#4 Luka Modric
The Croatian captain had an exceptional year once again in 2018. Winning another Champions League Trophy with Real Madrid and also captaining a surprise upset in Croatia to reach the World Cup final only to be unfortunately met against the much stronger French National Team. The loss in the final will no doubt push Modric to new heights this year with assumable great things to come from the central midfielder.

#3 Neymar
The most expensive footballer in the world showed just why he was worth the price tag last season for PSG. 19 goals in 20 games in the Ligue 1 leading his side to not only a comfortable title victory but also claiming the national treble in the 2017/18 season.
