4. Igor Akinfeev (Russia)
Hosts Russia no longer look like the side that went to the semi-finals in 2008 Euro Cup. Igor Akinfeev is the only remaining member of that squad that lost out to eventual winners, Spain.
Akinfeev is capable of producing moments of magic, but can also add to the bloopers-reel in the same game. But his experience and quality have to shine through for the hosts to last in FIFA World Cup 2018.
