Juventus goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon and Real Madrid midfielder Luka Modric made up the remainder of the top five, finishing fourth and fifth respectively.

Sergio Ramos and Kylian Mbappe finished just outside a top-five spot at sixth and seventh.

There were a couple of surprises Thursday - Toni Kroos didn't move up from 17th - the spot he earned last year, while Antoine Griezmann fell from third in 2016 to 18th in 2017. Isco, Edinson Cavani, Harry Kane, and N'Golo Kante were high-risers in 2017, finishing 12th, 10th, and eighth, respectively despite not even making the shortlist last year.
