#5 Casemiro (Rating 7.53) - Real Madrid
Real Madrid is a team full of superstars. The likes of Cristiano Ronaldo, Sergio Ramos, and even Luka Modric always get all the plaudits, but a player who is perhaps just as crucial for Madrid's successes in the last few years is Brazilian midfielder Casemiro.
Trending
Often flying into tackles and doing the dirty work on the pitch, Casemiro's presence in midfield enables the likes of Kroos and Modric to play with a bit more freedom. Like his team, Casemiro also started the season slowly, but he has slowly picked up the pace and has been one of the most consistent performers for Los Blancos this season.
While the 26-year-old is known more for the defensive aspect of his game, this season he has also scored 4 goals and assisted 3 more in his 24 league appearances so far. While the race for the league title might be over, Madrid and Casemiro will be hoping to continue their resurgence and overhaul Atletico Madrid in the race to finish 2nd.
