RotoWire Fantasy Analysis
Kroos was named to the FIFA FIFPro World XI on Monday.
Kroos is coming off a remarkable year from a trophy standpoint, as he won the Bundesliga title with Bayern Munich and then the World Cup with Germany before transferring to Real Madrid. As a holding midfielder, he doesn't always get a ton of fantasy stats in traditional games -- he had just two goals and four assists in 29 Bundesliga appearances last season -- but he's getting a little more involved this season, as he has one goal and seven assists in 17 La Liga starts this term.

Kroos picked up his fourth assist of the season in Real Madrid's 5-0 win over Levante on Saturday.

Kroos picked up an assist in Real Madrid's 2-0 win over Villarreal on Saturday, his third of the season.
With so many offensive stars such as Cristiano Ronaldo, Gareth Bale, James Rodriguez and Karim Benzema in front of him, Kroos is bound to find himself on the receiving end of a few assists, but he's not primarily focused on the attack, which limits his value in many fantasy leagues.

Kroos started and played all 90 minutes of Real Madrid's 5-1 Champions League rout of FC Basel on Tuesday, but he did not attempt a shot.
Kroos is playing a bit of a deeper role, with Luka Modric getting more involved on the attack. However, he still has the opportunity for plenty of assists, of which he has two through Madrid's first three league matches.
