1. Marco Verratti
There aren’t too many players in the world who ever look as complete as Marco Verratti does already, despite only being 22.
If the midfielder does have a flaw, it’s perhaps his over-exuberance and occasional lack of discipline—12 yellow cards in 26 starts is a worrying statistic.
Beyond that, however, the stats underpin just what a terrific competitor the Italian is.
He leads Ligue 1 in average passes per match and is in the top five for passes completed. He’s in the top ten in the division for dribbles per match, while he has also chipped in with five assists and two goals for PSG in the top flight this term.
It’s been a magnificent year, and it’s hard to deny Verratti his place at the top of this ranking!
