This is a bit of a strange one. In spite of a mediocre start to the current Premier League campaign, Hazard is undoubtedly one of the world's best players. The Belgian's flurry of awards at the end of the 2014/15 campaign is probably the reason behind his 89 rating, with him being voted both the Chelsea and Premier League player of the season - as well as him scoring 14 goals on the way to reclaiming the Premier League title with The Blues. 

You would struggle to make a case for Hazard being a better player than Neymar, however. Many people consider the Brazilian the most talented player on the planet after Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi, and his scoring record both domestically and internationally is ridiculous. Within the next five years, Neymar could well become Brazil's record goalscorer, ahead of none other than Pelé.  

88 seems a very harsh rating for a player who won four trophies (including the Champions League) with Barcelona last season, and scored 39 goals whilst doing so.
