58 James Milner, England (7.210)

England midfielder James Milner played a key role in Liverpool's run to the Europa League final to cap off an impressive debut season at Anfield. Although he may not be a guaranteed starter in France, he remains a favourite of boss Roy Hodgson and will likely see some game time.

57 Artem Dzyuba, Russia (7.216)

Zenit St Petersburg striker Artem Dzyuba is set to lead the line for Russia at Euro 2016 after netting 23 times for his club in all competitions. He will hope to fire his country out of a group stage at a major tournament for the first time since Euro 2008.

56 Aaron Ramsey, Wales (7.217)

A difficult season saw Aaron Ramsey manage just six goals in 40 appearances in all competitions for Arsenal in 2015/16 as they finished second in the Premier League and fell in the last-16 of the Champions League. He will play a key role in support of Gareth Bale as Wales prepare for their first major tournament since 1958.

55 Lucas Vazquez, Spain (7.218)

Real Madrid winger Lucas Vazquez enjoyed an impressive breakout season at the Bernabeu, filling in regularly in the injury absences of Gareth Bale and Cristiano Ronaldo.

54 Piotr Zielinski, Poland (7.222)

Poland international Piotr Zielinski enjoyed an impressive season on loan at Empoli from parent club Udinese as they finished 10th in Serie A. The midfielder scored five times in 35 appearances.

53 Yohan Cabaye, France (7.23)

Yohan Cabaye marked his return to English football with an impressive season at Crystal Palace. The midfielder, who left Paris Saint-Germain in 2015, caught the eye with his passing, crossing and set-pieces for Palace. Cabaye experienced the disappointment of losing the FA Cup final to Manchester United and won't want a repeat of that losing feeling when he plays for his native France on home soil.

52 Grzegorz Krychowiak, Poland (7.23)

Polish midfielder Grzegorz Krychowiak has been linked with a move to the Premier League for some time, with claims Manchester United are willing to match his £34m release clause to bring him to Old Trafford this summer. The 26-year-old made 42 appearances in all competitions for Sevilla last season, scoring one goal and providing five assists.

51 Andres Iniesta, Spain (7.24)

Winning titles has become second nature to Barcelona's club captain. The 32-year-old has won 28 trophies with the Spanish giants since making his senior debut in 2002, adding to his two European Championships and a World Cup with Spain. Will the 2016 European Championship be the cherry on Iniesta's multi-tier cake?

42 Sergio Busquets, Spain (7.28)

Busquets was a key part of Spain's side as they won the last European Championships, and will be the heartbeat of their midfield again as they attempt to defend their title. The 27-year-old has won it all at club and international level and recently signed a new long-term deal with Barcelona.

41 Andreas Granqvist, Sweden (7.29)

Granqvist has featured at the last two European Championships for Sweden, and has more than 50 caps for his country. Has been at Russian side Krasnodar in 2013, and had a brief spell at Wigan Athletic in 2007/08, but managed just 15 appearances.
