#2 Toni Kroos
Though Real Madrid have been under-firing this season, Toni Kroos has been consistent in providing the required services to the forward line to score goals. He has been a pivotal part of the club's impressive haul of five trophies in the calendar year. He has been regarded as the best midfielder on the planet by many due to his ability to maintain a 90% or more passing accuracy in almost every game.
Toni Kroos was named in the Champions League Squad of the Season for 2016-17. He also made it to the FIFPro World XI and clinched the IFFHS World's Best Playmaker silver award behind Lionel Messi.
The German enforcer's invaluable contribution in the midfield is a strong reason why he should be valued as much as Cristiano Ronaldo at the Bernabeu.
