It is astonishing to see a player of Pedri's quality only rank in 10th place. The Barcelona and Spanish midfielder is the heartbeat of his team for both club and country.

7. Raphinha (Barcelona)
Raphinha finished in fifth in the 2025 Ballon d'Or nominations, but only ranks in seventh in this list. Still, the Barcelona and Brazil international winger is truly world-class.
Arda Guler is slowly finding his feet at Real Madrid. The Turkey international is getting more game time at the Santiago Bernabeu under new manager Xabi Alonso.
5. Nicolas Pepe (Villarreal)
Nicolas Pepe has enjoyed an excellent start to the season with Villarreal. He has truly put his dark days at Arsenal behind him.
Only placing in 16th this time in the Ballon d'Or standings, Vinicius Jr looks like a player with a point to prove. The Brazilian is up to his old tricks at Real Madrid.
3. Nico Williams (Athletic Club)
Athletic Club fans will have been delighted to see Nico Williams commit his future to the club this summer after much transfer speculation. The winger has made a great start to the 2025/26 La Liga campaign.
Kylian Mbappe is scoring goals for fun at the moment. The French superstar has certainly been key in Real Madrid's perfect start.
