#6 James Rodriguez (Real Madrid)
Five years ago, James Rodriguez had the world at his feet after impressing for Colombia at the World Cup, and a mega move to Real Madrid from Porto followed that summer.
Despite initially starring as a core member of the team for Carlo Ancelotti, the baby-faced Rodriguez soon fell out of favor in Real Madrid, as Zinedine Zidane froze him out of the first 11, effectively reducing him to a squad player and forcing a loan move to Bayern Munich.
It was a similar story in Bavaria, as fall-outs with coach Niko Kovac saw a previously guaranteed permanent stay squashed, and despite making it abundantly clear that he did not want him, Zinedine Zidane would be forced to have Roriguez in the squad this season.
Despite his struggles, the Colombian international is an extremely gifted midfielder, and there are few better than him in the art of threading through balls for teammates.
On his day, Rodriguez can hold it down with the best in the world in terms of creativity, and in his first season with Los Blancos and Bayern Munich, the 28-year-old created 13 and 11 assists from 33 and 23 league matches respectively.
