GK – Mattia Perin – Genoa

A rock at the back for the Italians this season, and is now being linked with many of Europe’s top clubs, including Liverpool.

DL – Jordan Amavi – Nice

The 20-year-old left-back is gathering serious interest from across Europe with his dynamic left-back play for French surprise package Nice.

DC – Sergio Ramos – Real Madrid

Another outstanding season for the dominant Spaniard, who continues to chip in with goals at vital moments.

DC – Naldo – Wolfsburg

The Brazilian centre-back scored the winner on Saturday to keep an exceptional season on track.

DR – Daryl Janmaat – Newcastle United

The only consistent part of Newcastle’s wildly up-and-down season has been their Dutch right-back.

CM- Nemanja Matic – Chelsea

Receiving plaudits from around the world for his work in midfield. His dominant performance against Stoke on Monday night was perhaps his magnum opus.

 

CM- Toni Kroos -Real Madrid

Replacing Xabi Alonso seemed an impossible task, but Real Madrid found the one midfielder capable of doing it.

CM- Cesc Fabregas – Chelsea

Is on course to break the Premier League assist record, and is scoring goals too.

LW – Cristiano Ronaldo – Real Madrid

A freakish 30 goals in 24 appearances this term for the Portuguese phenomenon.

ST – Alexandre Lacazette – Lyon

The striker is having the breakout year to end all breakout years, with 19 goals in just 24 starts for a fairly average team.

RW – Lionel Messi – Barcelona

Messi is having a “bad season” according to some, which means he’s scored only 23 goals in 22 games.
