1. CRISTIANO RONALDO

Cristiano Ronaldo is a professional soccer player who has set records while playing for both Manchester United and Real Madrid. Real Madrid superstar Cristiano Ronaldo has named his four favorites to win the FIFA World Cup in Russia this year, and snubbed Portugal as one of the leading nations. He is probably at his best on the left wing, where he can create chances for teammates, or as he does more often, cut inside and lash the ball past a helpless goalkeeper. Cristiano Ronaldo’s Portugal began the night in second-place in Group B, needing to take all three points against league leaders Switzerland to seal an automatic spot at the next summer’s tournament.

2. LIONEL MESSI

There are no doubts Lionel Messi will lead Argentina at the 2018 World Cup in Russia. His 95 Dribbling is the highest, and very few defenders are able to even come close to stopping him when he’s playing his best. Combined with 89 Pace and 90 Shooting, Messi may usually start on the wing but he always finds a way to get in front of goal—where he rarely misses.

3. NEYMAR

The most expensive player in the world, Neymar recently headed for Paris in a move that shocked the football world. While still slightly below Messi and Ronaldo, Neymar is in the upper echelons of the talent-packed history of Brazilian football. His 92 Pace makes him one of the fastest players out there, and his 94 Dribbling is reminiscent of Ronaldinho at his peak. Neymar has backed Mo Salah, Eden Hazard, Kevin de Bruyne and Luis Suarez to dazzle at the 2018 FIFA World Cup Russia and opined that Brazil are the team to beat. Brazil are also sweating as Neymar continues his recovery from a foot injury. And the sense of panic among the five-time world champions grew this weekend when the Paris Saint-Germain forward admitted that he is still not feeling 100% with the tournament now just over two weeks away.

4. LUIS SUÁREZ

Luis Suarez will be key to Uruguay’s future in the FIFA World Cup 2018 in Russia. As brilliant as he is controversial, Suárez can finish with the best of them thanks to his powerful, accurate 90 Shooting. Luis Suarez was pivotal to Uruguay qualifying for the 2018 World Cup relatively comfortably in second place behind Brazil who stormed to the top of table. The former Ajax man scored five goals in 13 matches that he played. His unpredictable nature makes it impossible for defenders to truly prepare for what Suárez will do next.

5.MANUEL NEUER

He’s at the top of his game regarding traditional goalkeeping skills, like 91 Diving and 90 Handling, but it’s his 95 Kicking score that truly sets him apart. Since arriving at FC Bayern in July 2011, Manuel Neuer has established himself as arguably the best goalkeeper in the world. With Die Roten alone, Neuer has appeared in 298 matches, earning 158 clean sheets, conceding 196 goals. The 32-year-old veteran goalie made the 23-man Germany Squad and it seems he is ready to captain his country to back-to-back World Cup crowns.

7. ROBERT LEWANDOWSKI

A product of the youth academy system of Sevilla, Ramos joined Real Madrid in 2005 and eventually won 18 major titles with the side till now. He helped the club to secure 4 La Liga titles and 3 UEFA Champions League title as of 2018.

10. Gonzalo Higuain

More on the traditional side as far as forwards go, Higuaín can finish nearly anything with both feet and his head. Gonzalo Higuain and Manuel Lanzini of Argentina take part in a training session as part of the team preparation for FIFA World Cup Russia 2018 at FC Barcelona 'Joan Gamper' sports center on June 7, 2018 in Barcelona, Spain. His 87 Shooting is extremely impressive, and his 83 Dribbling gives him the ability to open up space for himself and his teammates.
