Picking a world eleven is also a favourtie pastime of many, and hours can be spent with friends discussing whether a certain player merits being in the side. But what about the future stars? Those players who are in their early to mid 20s currently, or maybe even their teens.

Some already are. In five years time, Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo will most certainly have peaked, and there will be new pretenders to their throne. Predicting a world team in 2019 is very subjective- there may be a 13-year-old nobody has heard of, who will be the best in the world at 18, for all we know- but it's still an intriguing thing to attempt.
