#5 Diego Costa
Courting as much controversy off the field as he does on it, Diego Costa has made mostly headlines for his antics, but unlike other enfant terribles such as Nicklas Bendnther or Mario Balotelli, Diego Costa delivers the goods on the field of play and is a goal machine and constant threat to opposition defenders.
After a tumultuous relationship with Antonio Conte at Chelsea (where he was told he was not longer needed through text), Diego Costa returned to Atletico Madrid, and made an entrance in the only way he knows how - by scoring then receiving a red card on his first start.
Costa was instrumental as the club won the 2018 Europa League and once more haunted Real Madrid with two goals in the UEFA Super Cup to hand Atleti their seventh major title of Simeone's reign.
This season, Diego Costa has been remarkably off-color, battling injury problems, as well as a loss of form which saw him go over nine months (18 matches) in La Liga without a goal until he broke his duck against Barcelona in the 1-1 draw.
That strike remains his only goal in the league in 11 matches and even though Antoine Griezmann has helped lessen the impact of his poor form, on a personal level, Diego Costa would be disappointed with his output.
