6) Angel di Maria – Argentina
In fantastic form with club side Manchester United, di Maria will be looking to carry that form onto the international stage.
He was unlucky to miss out on the 2014 World Cup final after being one of the stars of the competition for the Argentinians.
Facing arch rivals Brazil the record British summer signing will be fully motivated to do some serious damage when he heads to China.
5) Filipe Luis – Brazil
Filipe hasn’t enjoyed the best start to his Chelsea career, confined to the bench for much of his time at the London club despite being the only natural left-back available.
If he is hoping to wrestle a first team spot off the makeshift Cesar Azpilicueta then a successful run in the Brazilian national team will surely help.
4) Kaka – Brazil
After failing to make the grade for the international team for nearly two years, Kaka is finally back in the Brazilian squad in what was a rather shock inclusion for many.
He has been fantastic on-loan with Sao Paulo however and he looks to still be fully capable of doing a job with the national side.
Kaka was once thought to have the potential to be one of the best of all time, but while he hasn’t lived up to those expectations he could still surprise people this weekend.
3) Luis Suarez – Uruguay
The controversial FC Barcelona striker was punished during the World Cup for his third biting offence and slapped with a four-month ban.
Whilst this includes all competitive matches, the former Liverpool man has been allowed to take part in the international friendlies.
He may be a little off the pace after so much time off, but Uruguay’s games against Saudi Arabia and Oman could be a fantastic chance to see if Suarez is still in the same form he showed for the Reds so consistently last year.
2) Cristiano Ronaldo – Portugal
After seeing what a Portuguese team without Ronaldo looks like when the side embarrassingly lost 1-0 to Albania, the game against France will see him back in the squad under new manager Fernando Santos.
The Real Madrid superstar is crucial to any success the nation might have and this game should be no different with Ronaldo sure to be the centre of attention.
1) Jack Wilshere – England
Wilshere has long been touted as the future of English football and while injuries have prevented him from achieving that status just yet, he showed glimpses of it in his Man of the Match performance against San Marino on Thursday.
The level of competition is obviously not the highest, but the Arsenal man will be hoping to put in a similar performance against Estonia and prove his worth to the side.
