FifPro XI: 11 Players Who Statistically Should Have Been In

4. James Rodriguez - AS Monaco

Position: Attacking Midfielder Age: 22 Market Value: £31 million Previous Clubs: Envigado, Banfield, Porto Colombian international James Rodriguez has been an ever constant in the AS Monaco side this season after signing for £38.5 million from Portuguese club Porto. The winger has contributed to Monaco's title challenge in Ligue 1 in their first season since promotion by providing 9 assists in his 19 games. On top of this, 'James' - as his shirt would suggest you should call him - also makes an average of 2.9 key passes per game, meaning that over the course of the season, the attacker has made over 55 key passes. Brilliant statistics for the young Colombian, who has already made 20 appearances for his country at just 22 years of age, scoring 3 goals during World Cup qualification - against Peru, Chile and Ecuador. Despite his young age (the second youngest in the Stats XI) James had already won 10 trophies with his respective teams and is currently looking to add to that tally with 'moneybags' Monaco. In October 2012, the attacker became popular due to a picture which seemed to show a ghost celebrating his goal for Porto against PSG in the Champions League Group Stages, the picture went global and all sorts of rumours arose about 'The Ghost of the Dragao' - the ghost later turned out to be an elderly man!
