It has been a very busy year for footballers in 2018. Shortly after the previous campaign, the FIFA World Cup came in, with several superstars representing their nations in the recently concluded tournament in Russia - and in the blink of an eye, the new club season has already begun in all the major divisions in Europe.

Just like the other leagues across the continent, the French league has also begun with a big bang, featuring our favorite teams and beloved superstars who have stepped up to entertain us with their incredible talents and amazing displays.

It is just the beginning of the campaign yet these fantastic players have already reached their peaks, putting up a couple of scintillating performances and setting the division ablaze with their unbelievable efforts.

Below, we take a look at 5 incredible superstars who have started the new Ligue 1 season explosively:

#5 Julio Tavares

Tavares is on track to hit a new high in his career this season

Since many superstars often take some time before reaching their best in every new season, Dijon superstar Javier Tavares deserves some recognition, having hit his obvious peak since the beginning of the new Ligue 1 campaign this term.

The Cape Verde International is currently one of the most impressive superstars in the French top flight at the moment, using his incredible talent and his amazing goalscoring ability to make name for himself in the division at the initial phase of the campaign.

Julio Tavares has begun the new Ligue 1 season on a prolific run, finding the back of the net on 3 occasions from just 4 appearances. With such an impressive start, the 29-year-old is well poised to achieve a brilliant outing on a personal level this season.

#4 Moussa Konate

The striker has entered the campaign in an incredible form

The 2018/2019 Ligue 1 season presents itself as a decent opportunity to SC Amiens superstar, Moussa Konate to push his career to a greater height - having started the campaign in an explosive form and earning a lot of praises for his brilliant performances in the French top flight.

The striker has been a real revelation ever since the term began, using his immense talent and unbelievable finishing knack to run riot in the division as well as helping his team to get a couple of important goals this season.

So far, the Senegalese International has recorded 3 goals and 1 assist to his name in 4 appearances this term, putting himself in a great position to achieve greater things during the campaign as well as giving the SC Amiens fans something to be happy about.

#3 Florian Thauvin

Florian Thauvin has also earned a decent start to the campaign

A highly talented winger with immense skills, amazing efficiency, and an unbelievable intelligence, Olympique Marseille superstar, Florian Thauvin has been one of the most impressive superstars in the French league so far this term.

Pushing the ball forward and launching threatening attacks, the 25-year-old has been a real nightmare to opposition defenders ever since the campaign began a few weeks ago, with his ability to dribble his way through multiple markers and penetrate into the box to either create chances for his teammates to score or send the ball into the back of the net by himself.

One of the elite attackers in the French top flight at the moment, Thauvin has bagged an incredible 3 goals and 1 assist in 4 Ligue 1 appearances this term and he is on course to have another prolific campaign in front of goal - thanks to his brilliant start to the season.

#2 Neymar Junior

The Brazilian has come back to continue with his impressive records in the French top flight

Following a rather disappointing FIFA World Cup campaign with his nation in Russia in which Brazilian superstar Neymar Junior suffered a lot of criticism for his performances during the tournament, the attacker has now come back to put things right - entering the new season with a great determination and an electrifying form.

The Paris Saint Germain superstar opened his account as early as 10 minutes into the new Ligue 1 campaign, beating Caen goalkeeper, Brice Samba with a perfect effort that went crashing inside the net during their opening fixture at the Parc Des Princes recently.

Neymar has moved on from there and he has gone ahead to add 3 more goals to his name, raising his tally to 4 goals in 4 appearances so far. He has also provided one assist and he will be looking forward to achieving greater things in the French top flight this season.

#1 Kylian Mbappe

The attacker's return was accompanied by an electrifying form

The spirit with which Paris Saint Germain superstar Kylian Mbappe entered into the new Ligue 1 campaign is really terrifying, raising suggestions that the youngster could be on his way to establish himself on top of the football world this season.

After leading his nation to claim the prestigious FIFA World Cup trophy in Russia recently, scoring an incredible 4 goals as well as claiming the Best Young Player Award for his amazing exploits during the tournament, the Frenchman has resumed the Ligue 1 with a big bang - tormenting opposition defenses with his incredible pace, spectacular dribbling skills and amazing goalscoring ability.

Mbappe is currently sitting on top of the Ligue 1 top scorer's list, with 4 goals and 2 assists in 3 appearances. With over 30 games still left to be played, only time will tell how many goals the Paris Saint Germain winger will score in the French top flight during the campaign.
