3. Emil Forsberg (Sweden)
Post Zlatan’s retirement from international football, the onus was on Forsberg to come to the forefront. He has adapted to his new role perfectly.
Flourishing as the star player in the Swedish squad, Forsberg is a pacey winger. He has rare ability to always find time on the ball, even in the tightest matches to find a key pass or deliver a cross.
Also in his repertoire is his ability to strike a dead ball, which makes him a serious threat from midfield. Great things are expected from Forsberg at the FIFA World Cup 2018.
