Modric, Kroos and Pogba headline the centre mid position based on reputation rather than anything we've seen over the past year or so - class is permanent, after all, although next year might be different if they carry on the way they've ended 2019 - while Frenkie De Jong, one of the top FIFA 20 wonderkids, is also one of the outright best in the world already.
