#1 Luka Modric
Luka Modric has been on an award-winning spree. He won the Golden Ball at the World Cup, the UEFA Player of the Year Award and the FIFA Best Men's Player Award. With all those awards in the bag, his next aim is to win the Ballon d'Or. 2018 has been the Croatian skipper's year and he deserves the award more than anybody else.
Trending
Although he doesn't have as many goals or assists as the others on the list, his influence on a game is immense. He controls the midfield and is always involved in the goals and is a key contributor in the defence. He doesn't score goals or assists but he is as valuable as anybody can be on the field. He has assisted twice for Real Madrid in 9 games, this season. He is perhaps, their most valuable asset after Gareth Bale.
At the moment, he is in pole position to win the Ballon d'Or and only God can stop him from winning. He could be the one to end the duopoly!
