2. James Rodriguez (Colombia)
James shot to fame when he shone for a Falcao-less Colombia four years ago in Brazil.
He is a special player especially because of his versatility. James is very comfortable playing in the middle of the park. His strong left foot can be deployed down either wing as well.
Jose Pekerman will be hoping that James can reproduce his performances from the previous World Cup. His pace, trickery and guile led him to win the Golden Boot at the FIFA 2014 World Cup.
