I do happen to think that the CM is more important because he initiates almost all moves and sets the flow of how it's going to go, kind of like a great point guard in basketball. But I agree to disagree. For this year alone, I have no problem at all with whoever got it out of those three. It's only that we all know Xavi deserves to have his name alongside the past greats and at his age he probably won't get another nomination considering FIFA's preference. :)
