The Guardian 100 best footballers in the world 2015

[USABlue]

Sky is doing one as well based on average match rating from whoscored.com. Jags was #94

Good to see Payet's leg get a posthumous place on the list, 2 Leicester players, a West Ham player & no Lukaku, ok so

Seems like the Guardian could now suffer the same fate as the Sun and the Echo - off the shopping list for their providing a bunch of clowns an avenue to ignore at least one if not more Everton players who fully deserve to be in the top 100 players of 2015.

Merry Christmas to all Blues

seems like some people are missing the point that its a list of the best players during the 2015 calendar year... not 'Da bestest players in der world as of 2015'

Harry Kane where he is, and no Rom? Ok. Kane is a fine player but if there is a gap it's minuscule.

So a player who has scored 29 goals in all comps in 15' isn't even present let alone in the top 50?

I'll paraphrase comment that stood out to me. 17 players from Germany, 13 from Bayern and 4 from Dortmund. Bunch of telly clapper journos me thinks.

You could make the arguement that Pirlo deserves to be #42.....in the MLS. He was terrible this season.

John Stones (6 judges votes, best rank 14th) 106th
Romelu Lukaku (5 votes, best rank 14th) 108th
Ross Barkley (3 votes, best rank 30th) 149th
Seamus Coleman (1 vote, best rank 40th) 219th=

Benteke below the first 3 Blues - ditto Sturridge. No other RS on the undercard.
