lol...its a possibility but impossible to predict really

The same system flaw that could put Bale in the top 10 could also put him out of the list entirely

Because of the way the system is set up, one rogue writer can cause the mean score of a player to be way off (either ranked too high or too low) because their rating is an outlier point

JonathanWilson for example, already said he voted Maicon in his top 30 not because he loves Maicon, but as a protest vote against Dani Alves....Whom he feel is vastly overrated and who he believes would not be effective outside of Barcelona (like many of the people here)

Alves was the best RB in the world before he even joined Barca ffs......

a RB that playmakes, defends ( unless barca play 3-4-3) scores 5-10 a season and just all in all creates absolute havoc......

Overrated ffs, and you wonder why i consider these people to be absolute idiots.

Yes i know he fails for Brazil, but so does Messi for his country, is he overrated too?

Really think Maicon was better

omarish wrote:Messi isn't worthless for NT, he just can't score for some reason

Alves however, is a giant worthless black hole sucking in attackers so they can freely roam in his flank. He really is shit outside Barca...

Anyways my judgement on Ramos being the world's best fullback was mostly based on Euro 2008..

Lets debate Alves-Ramos-Maicon somewhere else...There are plenty of other less-interesting threads we can ruin with that kind of discussion

I'm surprised Alves and Busquets aren't in the top 10. I'm now afraid I'll see Barry/Milner there.

Loool @ comments, and the list is really flawed. Im shocked to read the comments from Jonathan Wilson who is very respected about Alves...he should know much more than any of us, but how can he say Alves would be average in any other team other than Barca? Its just wrong loool. Alves was such an important signing for Barca that in his first season in we won the titles, he owned up that RB+RW position, which we have struggled for YEARS to fill probably. He did the same for Sevilla.

At their best, I rate Maicon no.1 and Alves no.2. I dont watch Lahm at RB enough tbh to judge

And I also fear seeing the likes of Barry in the top 10 Although hes a bit like Busquets I think. Ppl dont appretiate these types of players sicne they do unspectatular but vital work for the team, and brings stability and control in the middle of the park as well as bite. Barry is probably a bit underrated...

But stats are whatever.

I dont think its coincidence that in Portugal Hulk was clearly better, all of a sudden Di Maria moved to Madrid and now he is better/as good.

But anyone who has seen Madrid this season can clearly tell you he is not the same player as last season. Also, he isn't even playing the same way as he did last season. He is more than a winger this season. He plays deeper. More involved in our play.

His final ball has been so great this season Mou even played him as a AM vs Sevilla. Last season I can guarantee you he didn't have half as good as passing he has been having this season.

Also I've to agree with LM. Hulk can talk when he does it in the big stage, where Di Maria has performed superb.

Agreed. Di Maria have improved so much in such a short time its hard to believe. And would love to see how Hulk does in a bigger league.

Sort of depends if were talking a one-off season/game or if I was building a club or something...Here's

Messi
Eto'o
Ibra
Cavani
Rooney
RVP
Villa
Tevez
Di Natale/Gomez
Aguero

xabi alonso who runs the madrid team which is playing excellently if i might add i placed at 31?

not even going to bother to state how many of them should be below him..

Is this list based on ability or this one season?

Suarez 11 :lol!: :lol!: :lol!:
Neymar 20

Well at least the top 20 looks more reasonable than the others Great to see Silva at no.5 for exmaple, fully deserved!

De Rossi at 79...what a load of bollocks...
