#8 Joe Gomez (Liverpool)
The 20-year-old has had a stellar first full season at Anfield. The young defender was signed by Liverpool in 2015 and immediately broke into Brendan Rodgers' squad before sustaining a long-term ACL injury.
Gomez got back this season and has taken advantage of right-back Nathaniel Clyne's injury absence by cementing his place in the eleven, despite heavy competition from Trent Alexander-Arnold.
The versatile English defender has the ability to play across the back-line. Though he's predominantly played at right-back this season, experts feel his best position lies in the centre of the defence.
His positional awareness has provided Liverpool solidity in the second half of the season as they have conceded fewer goals.
Gomez made his debut for England in a Man-of-the-match display against Brazil in an international friendly shut down Neymar on the wing. A strong and clever player, the 20-year-old may develop into one of the best defenders in his country.
