#2 Luis Suarez (FC Barcelona)
Luis Suarez has had his fair share of controversies but with the football at his feet, he is an absolute genius. After becoming a favourite at Anfield, Suarez moved to Spain in 2014, forming the famous ‘MSN’.

Over the past two seasons in the La Liga, he has rippled the net on 54 occasions while grabbing 25 assists. Though he was not at his best in Russia, he still managed to score a couple of goals and provided a delightful cross for Cavani to head home against Portugal.
Suarez is a master at dropping his shoulder and running past the defender. In addition to his acceleration, which is top-notch, he also possesses the required predatory instinct for a striker.
The biggest and most distinguishing aspect of Suarez however, is his ability to create goals as well as score them. Of all the forwards in the list, his creativity is second to none. It is his ability to create goals that gets him ahead of the likes of Aguero, Kane and Cavani.
However, at 31 years of age, he is feeling the after-effects of a long career in European football. Though he is still one of the best technically, he’s starting to lose a bit of his pace.
Suarez would have easily been at the head of the list, had it been compiled a season or two ago. At this juncture, though, he only gets the runner-up spot.
