#6 – Eden Hazard
Eden Hazard has not had the best of starts at Real Madrid but it is just the pre-season right now. The Belgian was 5th in the ranking last month and his poor performances in pre-season have seen his ranking take a slight hit. While the pre-season games count for nothing, he was expected to hit the ground running and that's something he couldn't do.

The former Chelsea man has been at his best this year and helped the Blues win the Europa League in stunning fashion. They defeated Arsenal 4-1 in the final with Hazard scoring twice and assisting once in his final game for the club.
Under Zidane, he is now expected to take his game to another level and if he does, there is no doubt that he will be lifting the Ballon d'Or in a couple of years. As for 2019, it is unlikely that Hazard will finish on the podium but a top-half finish is still a possibility.
