Not sure if this has already been posted. Top 100 players in 2013. Usual suspects in the top 10. Although not sure Suarez should be there. Chelsea's highest placed player is Mata at number 30.

Has been posted somewhere, largely ridiculed if I remember correctly. 

 

I'd be interested to see a comparison between it and FourFourTwo's list that came out recently. 

Hazard is 100. 17 places behind Etoo.

 

And 11 places behind kagawa

 

kagawa.

 

This is stupid.

Like any kind of list you're going to find more people that disagree with it than agree with it.

 

Mostly you're just splitting hairs but I get annoyed by players such as Neymar being ranked 6th... He hasn't actually achieved much if anything yet but because he plays for Barca and Brazil he is instantly elevated to God status. 

 

Hazard at 100 is criminally underrated especially when fellow Chelsea players such as Eto'o, Oscar and Luiz are much higher then he is. 

 

Witsel is the new Willian by the looks of it, playing out in Russia he's a new addition to their list at 52 whereas Willian who I believe was in their top 25 last year has completely fallen out of the rankings.

Here is the Four Four Two poll. Hazard is at 54. Better than the Guardian but should still be higher.

Apparently Cabaye is better than Hazard too, and Ramsey, who made this list ?

That list has Cazorla above Hazard.

And it has Dani Alves at 42.

It also has Carrick above Negredo.

 

These rankings are just bonkers, although the top 10 seems pretty reasonable.

Kagawa, Cazorla, Ramsey all better than Hazard ?

 

Bahaaaaaaaahaaaaahaaaaa           

Aside from Hazard being ridiculously low, and Terry being absent entirely, I don't have too many complaints about it.

 

However Ronaldo should surely be ahead of Messi based on the year we've juts had.
