9. Andres Iniesta, FC Barcelona
Although perhaps not quite as influential for Barca as he has been in the past, there is still no denying this 30-year-old possesses world-class ability and will be looking to impress once again this year.
With Xavi nearing retirement and Cesc Fabregas having been sold to Chelsea, Iniesta may be tasked with a more central role than he has been used to of late.
