Willian hit his peak in between 2015 and early 2016, and was in that period, arguably, the best performer at Brazil's national team and Chelsea.

However, his club performances have regressed and the Brazilian has lost his place in the starting lineup to Spain international Pedro, whom Antonio Conte seems to favour. Willian remains an experienced player who would be of good use as super sub for many national teams.

#8 - Roberto Firmino:

Roberto Firmino had an inconsistent season at Liverpool, but he starts the new one with 3 goals and 3 assists in just 5 games. After taking the number nine shirt, it seems that the 25-year old is finally determined to improve his goal-scoring figures, as Jurgen Klopp has officially named him the first-option penalty taker.

Firmino's overall link-up play, movement and play-making skills were never short of impressive, but extra goals were the only aspect missing in his game. With a top campaign at Anfield, Firmino easily has the potential to reach a higher position in the top 10.
