FIFA Ballon d'Or Gala 2014

1.Eden Hazard (Chelsea, 27)

Chelsea v Liverpool - Premier League

Based on current form, he may be the best player in the world right now. But consistency is what separates Messi and Ronaldo from the rest of the pack. Hazard has never crossed the 20 goal mark since his move to Chelsea, mostly playing under defensive minded managers.

His career is waiting to hit a new level, and with Maurizio Sarri's expressive style of football, Sarri may just be the man to get him there. After an impressive World Cup and six goals in seven Premier League games, this season may finally be the season where Hazard steps up and plays to his full potential.

A former Player of the Year, Hazard isn't a stranger to individual awards, but to hit the goal scoring heights of Messi and Ronaldo, a change in management may have just been the spark Hazard needed.
