#4 Ronaldo, despite the stats, still underperforming
Many people would argue he cannot be considered out of form, due to the sheer number of goals he scores. Despite this, it's clear to see that Cristiano Ronaldo has been far from his best in recent months - predominantly during the first half of this campaign.
He's joint third with Celta Vigo's Iago Aspas for most league goals this season (16), but 12 of his goals have come since the start of 2018 and Ronaldo has developed a reputation for netting goals particularly when not at his best.
Many have suggested that as he ages, his physical attributes continue to diminish and as a result, defenders are finding it easier to isolate him out of possession. Perhaps this is part of his problem, though he's also transforming positions into a more complete forward as opposed to the winger blessed with blistering speed who tormented opponents in the past.
His overall contribution to the cause cannot be understated, though it'll be interesting to see just how long it takes before Ronaldo is fully at his best. The fact he's such an influential player and continues to deceive critics says it all, really.
