#1 Luka Modric
Luka Modric takes the number one spot with his impressive performances for his national and club side.
Trending
Modric has proved beyond every reasonable doubt that he deserves, more than any player, to be nominated the FIFA Best Player award. His performances for his club side have been nothing short of exceptional. He starred in Real Madrid's midfield that conquered Europe last season, helping provide a total of 23 assists with his fellow players.
He also helped his club win the FIFA Club World Cup. But in his best tournament ever, Modric starred as Croatia's captain and playmaker, and led them to their first ever World Cup final appearance, scoring two goals and providing an assist on the way. Taking a Croatian side, that was average at best, to the World Cup final is no small feat, and shows Modric deserves to win the FIFA Best Player award.
