20:30 - BISH, BASH, BOSH
Just like that, 10th, ninth and eighth are announced..... Harry Kane is 10th, Kevin De Bruyne pips the Spurs striker into ninth, and Eden Hazard is eighth. A Premier League hat-trick.

The man to end the Messi-Ronaldo stranglehold?

17:30 - AGUERO IN 16TH

17:10 - TOP 20 TIME
Coming in thick and fast now, and in joint 19th are Roberto Firmino, Ivan Rakitic and Sergio Ramos. It means Firmino pips Liverpool team-mate Mane, Rakitic beats his 2015 placing of 23rd, and Ramos slips down from sixth spot last year.
17:00 - THREE MORE NAMES
In joint 22nd.... drumroll please... are three more players. Liverpool forward Sadio Mane joins Edinson Cavani and Marcelo in narrowly missing out on the top 20.

16:20 - A COUPLE OF KEEPERS
And a striker... In joint 25th, goalkeepers Alisson Becker and Jan Oblak are joined by Mario Mandzukic. Becker joined Liverpool for a world record fee from Roma in the summer - later trumped by Chelsea's fee for Kepa - while Oblak continues to impress in goal for Atletico Madrid.
Juventus forward Mandzukic, meanwhile, scored three times for Croatia at the World Cup. Many of you will remember he actually scored at both ends in the 4-2 defeat to France. In doing so, he became the first player to score an own goal in the final. Poor Mario.
16:10 - GODIN IN 28TH
Placed on his own as the 28th best player in the world of 2018 - according to France Football of course - is Atletico Madrid and Uruguay rock, and central defender, Diego Godin.
16:00 - AND SO IT BEGINS
Isco and Hugo Lloris finish joint 29th as France Football begin to trickle out the shortlist. Isco won the Champions League with Real Madrid last season, while of course Hugo Lloris captained France to World Cup glory!
