Now we have 10... Following Modric, Kante, Marcelo, Dybala and Neymar, the French publication has revealed five more names of the 30 finalists for the Ballon d'Or. They are as follows:

Sergio Ramos

Captain Ramos was one of the standout players in a Real Madrid team that won everything but the Copa del Rey last season. Always solid in defence and loves a late goal, what would 'Los Blancos' do without him?

Dries Mertens

The Belgian has continued his progression at Napoli and is closing in on becoming one of the best players in the world.

Jan Oblak

Many people believe the Slovenian goalkeeper has overtaken Manuel Neuer as the best goalkeeper in the world. Despite Atletico Madrid not winning any titles this year, outstanding displays proved Oblak is world class between the sticks.

Luis Suarez

Suarez may not have had his best year at Barcelona, but he continued to play a vital part in their attacking line. The Uruguayan striker remains one of the best No 9's in the world.

Philippe Coutinho

Along with Neymar, Coutinho was one of the most talked about stars this summer. He dazzled with an impressive campaign in the Premier League, leading Liverpool to the Champions League. The Brazilian playmaker is one of the best when it comes to creating chances and is still a transfer target for Barcelona.
