Just for fun at 52 and 51 since those are the two players I tried my hardest to squeeze into the top 50 at the last moment but fell just short. I feel like they really should be there though:

Luis Suarez - Ajax who I've realized since the original list was made is a much better athlete than I thought.
The guy is really strong and agile. That on top of his other talents have meant a good jump up the list.

and Sami Khedira - Real Madrid who doesn't even get to show what he can really do at Real Madrid but is as solid as they come. Also became very very strong in the last year so.

Suarez isn't top 50 tbh. So you got that right -_-

Wow Khedira didn't even make the 200 list, what a development.

The next two players, unless there are last second changes, THIS IS LIVE AFTER ALL, consist of one who is very quickly becoming one of my favorites AND WHO ARSENAL JUST HAVE TO SIGN IMO EVEN IF IT WILL MAKE SOME PEOPLE HERE VERY UNHAPPY (MORE WILL BE HAPPY THOUGH AND OK NO MORE CAPS), and then the other who maybe is my least favorite player but who I have to begrudgingly admit has stepped it up this season.

oops there was a last second change and the hated player will have to wait one or two spots:

instead 50 and 49 will now be two players who quickly rose on my favorite player list within the last year. One very much last season. The other just very recently.

50:



Nuri Sahin - Dortmund

He is holding midfield masterclasses every single week and is superb on set pieces.

His writeup will be one of the top priority ones the list itself so hopefully look forward to that!

I will take one last hard look at the list before posting the whole thing once this is over, but if I remember correctly right now he is somewhere between 125 and 150...

anyone in anyone's top 30 gone yet?

meanwhile, now finally, the hated player is next I think.

and it was Sahin btw that I thought Arsenal should secure just to make that clear.

Oh now I get why it would make some people very unhappy and yeah, it definitely would.

Who out of curiosity did you pick for 3rd?



Awesome
Spoiler:
Xavi, not sure who the other contenders are except his partner in crime?

Ok it became two hated players instead of just one. The Man U one is the more hated btw. Does anyone really like him? Am I still ranking him too low? Possibly...

48: Robin Van Persie

You just forget how good he really is when he is always injured. Hasn't really done anything this season which could soon hurt his ranking even more. But at his best an excellent attacking player.

47: Nani

Having a great season. Great pace. Importantly with the ball too not least. Skills when dribbling or kicking it. Works really hard also despite an attitude that might not indicate it.

Wow I somehow deleted my Banega post.

I think it went something like this:

49: Ever Banega

I swear I think even Maradona's version of Argetina would have had a good chance of winning the World Cup had they just added Banega in time. He looks like a starter now but he already superb last season.

At his best he is one of the best midfield ball distributors in the world.

He has seen his form dip some so far this season and there have also been bad habits resurfacing like missing training. Will drop if he doesn't find consistency soon again.

Both were on my shortlist but didn't make the cut. Van Persie would easily be top 30 if he wasn't injured all the time.

46: Diego



I think Diego was definitely top 30 back when this all started over a year ago now.

In some ways I think he has actually been playing well that entire time but it's just getting harder and harder to ignore teams, he is undoubtedly leading, always struggling.
