No player has been more influential in the Premier League than Eden Hazard this season. The Belgian has only started in 6 games for Chelsea, but still leads the top-scoring chart of the league.

He has stepped up in absence of a reliable striker and has become the primary attacking threat that the Blues pose. He exemplifies on the pitch how a modern No.10 should play like.


#1 Lionel Messi

It had to be Lionel Messi on top of this list. The Barcelona talisman has redefined the No.10 role with his unprecedented performances on the right flank.

This season he has scored 6 goals and has 4 assists to his name. He has had a role in more than 50 % of all goals scored in the league by Blaugrana.

He will be remembered as one of the greatest players to ever have donned the No.10 jersey in the history of the game.
