8. Jérémy Toulalan – AS Monaco
Our first AS Monaco player comes in at number-eight and it’s the veteran Jeremy Toulalan.
He was one of the signings Monaco made when mega-money was pumped into the club, following the likes of Radamel Falcao, James Rodriguez and Joao Moutinho.
However, two of those three have already left, but Toulalan has remained loyal to the club and is still featuring regularly in the heart of their midfield.
Very similar player to Motta, who made number-10 on our list, a rock-solid man to have in the centre of the park.
