The 50 best soccer players in the world in 2019

After four seasons in and out of the starting line-up at Atletico Madrid, Thomas Partey has finally established himself as a regular feature in Diego Simeone's side.

The Ghanian has made 27 starts for Atleti in La Liga this calendar year, his most ever, and has provided the Spaniards with a powerful shield to its back four. 

The only criticism you can give Partey is that he gets booked too often (six times already this term alone). However, it's a small price to pay for offering such excellent coverage to Simeone's defence, which boasts the best record in the Spanish top flight, partly thanks to the 26-year-old midfielder.
