6) Neymar – FC Barcelona – 7.54 rating
Although Neymar has come under some criticism in recent weeks, it is easy to forget that, firstly, this is his debut season in Europe after previously only playing in his native Brazil, secondly, there have been off-field controversies both surrounding FC Barcelona and his own transfer fee that would distract any player, and thirdly, his form in the early months of the season was highly impressive.
Neymar is still just 22 years of age, and a tally of 15 goals and 11 assists in La Liga, the UEFA Champions League and the Copa del Rey is far from a poor total.
He will improve further with time, and there are signs of a growing understanding with Lionel Messi – which can only help Barca going forward.
