Anyway next player is a powerhouse of a midfielder, who as I predicted when he changed clubs, is showing some very good two-way play this season.

He (Landon) is in the top 300 I will say that. But he would have much better chance of keeping his rank in the future if he came to Europe.

Everton definitely miss him too.

The out of form players are getting dangerously near and will be pretty common occurance the rest of the way.

It's kind of depressing to look at

25: Ronaldinho



First of many out of form players who despite having poor seasons still have too much quality for me to drop them below players on the list who have only this season started showing their ability.

Still the only player who can rival what Messi can do with the ball and though not at the same level any more not the least without the ball it still is enough for him to earn a very high ranking.

25: Marek Hamsik

Other than his appearance there isn't necessarily anything remarkable about Hamsik's play at first, second or third glance but he is an extremely effective player I think providing value constantly both with and without the ball. Going forward or defending.

Great teamwork. Range of passing, fantastic movement without the ball, defending and scoring ability.

LOL nicely done.

kinda figured that Hamsik might make it due to the league he plays in and the person making the list, narrowly missed for me though. just hard to rate because i don't see him play very much, and was rather disappointing for me at the WC (lol sample size i know). but Ronaldinho, seriously? face = melted.

I don't really know where he is rated in the grand scheme of things, but I doubt that a lot of pepole would rate him >Schweinsteiger.

Maybe his form just wasn't good enough this season, but imo he has lost the ball too much because of sloppy passes and some minor technical problems at times. So he only fits in if you want him to receive passes from the other Arsenal players, which would be very possible since his running/positioning without the ball is very good.

Nope but that was expert. Must be someone who has had to sit through me making the same post about Ronaldinho for something like 3 years straight...

Anyway, there is only one more Brazilian to go and he is coming up very soon. I just have constant doubt where to place him exactly vs all the players near him.

edit: actually more where he should rank vs Toure, Hamsik so he is definitely up next
