Pique and Ozil to high up imo, other than that though I'd agree with the top 10
 
I started making a list of players on that list I thought were overrated, but gave up :) Instead I'll state which ones surprised me:

76. Eriksen (I think he's great just didn't expect to see him there until he get a big move)
69. Pato (thought he'd be higher, playing for an Elite club)
65. Essien (been injured a lot of late)
47. Hernandez (assuming they mean Chicarito, didn't expect to see him the top50 just yet)
27. Nasri (hasn't done much on european/international stage as yet)
18. Modric (as above)
6. Villa (seems to have dropped in popularity a lot of late)

As a general comment, I think Barca players have in general been 'overrated' a bit in that list, no way Busquets is top20 in the world, Abidal is ordinary, Valdes wouldn't be anywhere close to the list if he played for an average club.
 
I don't have any problem with most of that, but I don't think Valdes should be on this list at all and Nasri is too high.
 
It's nigh on impossible for anybody to rank the top 100 players in the world because nobody will have seen enough of every player to do so. Like all these things, it's based on reputation, media coverage and football manager.

And on Valdes, I wouldn't put him in the top 100 goalkeepers let alone footballers.
 
Biscuits 17? Coentrao 40? Ribery higher than Robben who's 49th? That list is comically retarded.

Pastore 25th haha someone's been playing waaaay too much FM. Can't be bothered to read the rest.
 
Whole list is a joke, it reads somewhere between, inability for people to be objective, transfer fee's, idiots thinking FM is even slightly accurate or realistic(it gets the spelling of the names right, that's about where accuracy starts and stops in that game).

Coentrao, Ramos, pique, Marcelo, 2 of those are pretty rubbish defenders, one cost 30mil and is barely worth 5mil, and Pique isn't terrible at all, but top 10, lol Puyol 58th, Pique 8th, Ozil, the whole thing is completely and utterly laughable.

Lampard, in probably the strongest league over the past decade, the single most consistent goal scorer and assist maker in the entire league, is below Nasri, Mata, Evra, Sneijder, a guy who afaik has scored 11 or more goals twice in his career, and hasn't broken 12 assists(in the time assists have been logged, 4-5 years for Sneijder on ESPN), while Lampard blows him away in all out scoring, assists, and consistency.
 
LOL Rooney above RVP...remind me again whos top scorer this yr in the EPL?? oh that would be Robin Van Perfect with 15 goals to his name...one off Henrys Arsenal revord and 3 off Shearers record of goals bagged in a calendar year.

The list is a complete utter joke other than the top 4 players...even Villa shouldnt be higher than RVP lol....hes done FA this yr with Barca and hasnt started many games for Barca.
 
I was going to say RVP should be above Rooney but RVP is having an epic season and Rooney had one in 09-10. The list isn't over current form.

But yeah, Rooney's attitude and lack of form should have contributed to this list and he should be lower than where he is.

Ahh right assumed that it was done over current form, looking at the list some of the names could be there for their respective forms etc.
 
Since when did pastore become so great?

Pato is like AC milans version of rooney, in all honesty theres not much between them. rooney for sheer bustle and Pato for more technique id say...?

Pedro>Etoo? maybe i havent watched him in russia this year but..

Modric 18?!

and no De Gea?
