Top 10 playmakers in the world right now

#2 Eden Hazard

Everton FC v Chelsea FC - Premier League

Hazard had a brilliant World Cup with Belgium and he has been brilliant for Chelsea this season as well. The Belgian has adjusted to Maurizio Sarri's style of play at Chelsea and he has sometimes looked absolutely unstoppable.

The 28-year-old has played primarily two positions this year, and those are the false nine and left wing. Hazard's link up play with Marcos Alonso and Mateo Kovacic on the left side has been brilliant to watch. The Belgian has been terrific in the Premier League and his stats back that fact.

Eden has given a total of 11 assists this season and has scored 16 goals. Hazard has been linked with Real Madrid for quite some time now and Chelsea have a tough task of keeping their star man.

#1 Lionel Messi

Real Betis Balompie v FC Barcelona - La Liga

Even before you started to read this article, you would have probably guessed the first. Who else, but the little Argentine genius Lionel Messi. He has been on another level compared to others and he is arguably the best player in the world right now.

Messi has started on the right wing, but the Argentine drifts in field and plays as the number 10 behind Luis Suarez, which lets the right back play virtually as the right winger. Messi's link up play with Jordi Alba and Suarez has been a sight to see and his stats this season are almost alien.

The 31-year-old has scored a total of of 39 goals and assisted a further 18, and we are only in March. The Argentine has been undoubtedly unstoppable this season and he is in no mood of stopping.
