The Everton midfielder, who is Iceland’s highest paid player and the team’s top goalscorer, has been named the Icelandic Footballer of the Year for the past six years. Although Iceland put pride among themselves with their masterclass in teamwork, it still doesn’t hurt to have someone in your squad who can do wonders.

Key Player: Luka Modric (Real Madrid)

[spacer height=”20px”]

Luka Modrić, the midfield general of Real Madrid, is the key man for Croatia at the FIFA World Cup 2018 in Russia and he needs to be the same for his national side in tonight’s Argentina Vs Croatia. He’s been a master for the Los Blancos ever since his arrival in 2012 and is absolutely the heartbeat of the national side as well.

Luka Modrić is among the top three midfielders in the world and along with Ivan Rakitić on his side, could help the Eastern Europeans spring a few surprises in the tournament.

Young Player To Look Out For: Andrej Kramaric (Hoffenheim)

For fans of the Bundesliga, Kramarić might not be considered much of an unknown – but to everyone else, this 26-year-old arrives in Russia with a point to prove and in the top form of his life. The striker has fired Hoffenheim into the Champions League places in the 2017-18 season and filled the hole left by Sandro Wagner’s departure to Bayern Munich.
