#1 Paul Pogba - France
Forget the Instagram videos. Forget the flashy hairstyles. Forget the accessories. Forget the advertisements. Paul Labile Pogba is a helluva footballer, and it's most often on show when he dons the Bleu of France.
The most talented midfielder in an insanely skilful group of footballers, Pogba makes things tick and keeps the blue machine going forward with unrelenting intensity. Given the freedom of the park thanks to the presence of that Energiser Bunny, N'Golo Kante, alongside him, he usually dominates matches with much more consistency than he does for his club side.
An undoubted talent, this tournament could be the one where he comes of age - Manchester United, and Jose Mourinho, would certainly be looking forward to that.
