4. Isco
Like Kroos, Isco's World Cup campaign ended prematurely when hosts Russia shocked Spain in the Round of 16. However, with 61 goals and 63 assists for Los Blancos, Isco shows why he has much to offer. Quick, creative, agile and a proven goal-scoring threat, Isco ticks all the boxes when it comes to the ideal midfielder.
Since joining in 2013, the gifted Spanish midfielder has won one league title and an astonishing four Champions League titles en route to becoming a mainstay in this Madrid team. He has also worked under current coach Lopetegui before (for Spain's national team) and would already be well-versed with his tactics.
Rumours are that Madrid chose not to sign Eden Hazard, instead opting for Isco to replace Ronaldo. This underlines the importance and respect Isco commands in the team.
