1. Marcelo (Brazil)
Marcelo wrote his “one final mission” would be to win the world cup with Brazil.
Under Tite, he is a regular starter for the Seleção. Marcelo is one of the best full-backs in the world. His attacking and defensive work rates are unparalleled.
His ability to dribble at opposition along with his ability to cut inside and create space is phenomenal.
Marcelo is simply unplayable. The Brazilian side is filled with silky talents like Neymar Jr, Coutinho and Firmino. Expect Marcelo and his men to do their best in Russia to make the 7-1 drubbing in their homeland seem a distant memory.
