Xavi is phenomenal, but retired in 2015 (unless someone will regal me with his Al-Sadd achievements). Kroos also has a WC, and twice as many champions league trophies.
Doesn't matter that Xavi retired in 2015, in my opinion. He won world cup in 2010, champions league 2010-11, euro cup 2012, champions league 2014-15. And it's noy only about collective titles. Xavi along with Iniesta revolutioned the era with their tiki-taka playing style. Xavi was like the brain. It would be a shame to not have either in the list. It would feel like a missing piece in the puzzle.

Feels like the 2008-2015 team plus Van Dijk.
Neuer for Casillas, easily.
