#3 Andres Iniesta (Spain)
This year also marks Andres Iniesta's farewell from the World Cup after competing in four editions and achieving one trophy.
The 34-year-old Spaniard led his country to their first World Cup title in 2010 after scoring a goal in the 116th minute to beat Netherlands 1-0 in the final. Now he aims to lift the World Cup trophy one more time before his international retirement.
After Xabi Alonso and Xavi Hernandez retirement, Iniesta has been mainly the mentor for Spain's new generation of midfielders.
Iniesta really excels at passing as he always finds a way to deliver the ball for an open teammate. He has played as a deep midfielder, central midfielder, and behind the attackers and he has regularly done a great job.
This season he said goodbye to Barcelona, his beloved club, and finished the season with 88% averaged pass accuracy, 62% duels won, and 16 total chances created.
Avg. Pass length: 16m.
