The Juventus keeper has been the saviour for Poland in this World Cup so far, and that's in a team that contains Robert Lewandowski.
Two clean sheets in the first two games proved to be vital considering that they only made it out of the group stages because of goal difference, and the cherry on top has to be the fact that he saved a penalty from Lionel Messi.
Never mind the fact that the Brazil captain is 38 years old; the Chelsea star has been a rock at the back for his nation.
So far he has over 180 minutes of football played at the tournament and hasn't conceded a single goal.
His influence and leadership skills are clear to see as well, and he is brilliant at keeping a cool head in high pressured moments.
Yet another veteran still performing at the top level, the Spanish left back has gotten two assists so far, and is a constant threat going forward.
A stalwart of this team and Barcelona, the experienced 33-year-old is just as solid defensively as he is offensively, and looks to be a big part of Luis Enrique's plans.
Yet another United player, but it's hard to leave him out of this team because the Brazillian has been fantastic in the early stages of the tournament.
His winner against Switzerland was just the cherry on top of what have been two excellent games so far, and even prompted Neymar to tweet that "Casemiro is the best midfielder in the world".
Currently the joint top scorer with three goals to his name, the PSG star has taken the competition by storm.
Even when you take away the goals, the constant threat that he poses is frightening, and every time he gets a defender on a one-on-one situation, he burns them for pace.
Easily the most exciting player on show at the moment.
Every World Cup sees an unexpected hero emerge from the shadows, although those in Ecuador would expect nothing less from their talisman.
The former West Ham man has bagged three goals, putting him level with Mbappe and Gakpo on the top scorer's list, so he's not exactly in bad company.
After taking a knock in the first game, many were fearful that he would be ruled out with injury, but thankfully for him, his country, and all of us neutrals who just love watching top footballers strut their stuff, he managed to stay on the pitch for Ecuador's three games.
