20. Ricardo Rodriguez, Wolfsburg
A second defender from Wolfsburg proves what kind of year the club has had and this 21-year-old left-back also has a great range of passing and an eye for a goal.
19. Sergio Aguero, Manchester City
A spate of injures for this Argentine has robbed him from being higher up the list, but with 28 goals in 33 matches the striker has been as prolific as ever.
18. Juan Cuadrado, Fiorentina
Perhaps one of the most versatile players imaginable after excelling as a winger, central midfielder and full-back this campaign and it’s little wonder many top sides are taking notice as a result.
17. Aaron Ramsey, Arsenal
A little like Aguero, less time in the physios room would probably have seen this Welshman further up the list after a brilliant year with the Gunners.
16. Paul Pogba, Juventus
In less than two years this Frenchman has gone from Red Devils youth player to key figure for both Juve and the France national team and is among the best midfielders in the world aged just 21.
