#9 - Paul Pogba
Paul Pogba has had a difficult first season at Manchester United, but that was mainly down to the team's lack of stability. But after having adapted to life in England, the Frenchman will be looking to live up to the expectations this time around.
Pogba has got an amazing technique on the ball and is capable of delivering in the crucial moments, as highlighted in the Europa League final against Ajax Amsterdam. In the Premier League last season, Pogba scored 5 goals and provided 4 assists.
#8 - Leonardo Bonucci
Leonardo Bonucci is one of the finest centre-backs of his generation, and many go further and consider him the best. He had an excellent season with Juventus last campaign, displaying defensive solidity as well as his ability to dictate play from a deeper position.
The veteran has, however, opted to switch camps this time around, as he completed his transfer to AC Milan, where has been appointed as the team's new captain.
#7 - Isco
Isco has quickly grown from a substitute at Real Madrid to a key player for the champions of Europe, as well as for Spain's national team. His ability on the ball is phenomenal. As a matter of fact, even Marco Verratti and Gian Piero Ventura, surrendered to his magic following his master class against Italy's national team, in a recent World Cup qualifier. The Spanish magician scored 10 goals and mustered 8 assists in the La Liga last season.
