FourFourTwo's best 100 players in the world

SCROTUM [Edit] [Delete] 11:21, 14 January '11

cba to type out the whole list but here's the top 20:

1/ Lionel Messi
2/ David Villa
3/ Xavi
4/ Ronaldo
5/ Wesley Sneijder
6/ Didier Drogba
7/ Andres Iniesta
8/ Samuel Eto'o
9/ Gerard Pique
10/ Bastian Schweinsteiger
11/ Diego Forlan
12/ Wayne Rooney
13/ Frank Lampard
14/ Cesc Fabregas
15/ Ashley Cole
16/ Fernando Torres
17/ Philipp Lahm
18/ Arjen Robben
19/ Iker Casillas
20/ Stephen Gerrard

What do you make of it?

There's too strong an English / Premier League bias I feel, and it's odd to see players like until-recently-injured Frank and horribly off-form Rooney up there, but their first halves of 2010 were both super strong so fair enough. By contrast, Bale and Van der Vaart are both new at #31 and #42 respectively - had they shown their level of form throughout the entire year as opposed to since the new PL started, no doubt they'd be top 20.
