One of the most complete midfielders the game has ever seen, Toni Kroos is already a World Cup hero, proving himself as one of the very best players at the tournament in 2014. He led the way in assists with 4 and also scored twice as the Germans marched triumphantly to the trophy.

Having played for two huge European clubs in the form of Bayern Munich and Real Madrid, Kroos has won a huge amount of trophies and has been named in the Champions League squad of the season every single year since 2013. His style of play is the perfect example for any young aspiring midfielders to follow, with Kroos possessing a unique set of attributes that allow him to function effectively as both a playmaking attacking midfielder and a defensive pivot for his team.

He is the metronome that the German team has been built around and there's pretty much nothing he cannot do. As one of the most complete midfielders in the game, Kroos goes into this World Cup as part of a ruthlessly impressive German outfit that has every chance of winning their second trophy in a row.
