The top 10 have yet to be released, but deconstruct 11-100.

The biggest crimes appear to be Pickford, Alli, DDG, Lukaku.
PEA seems way too far down the list.

Top 10 must include Messi, Ronny, KDB, Salah, Mbappe, Kane (lol), Hazard.

Yeah, I don't get the Kane lol comment either. Could likely play for any team in the world.

I don't think Kane should be considered amongst the top 10 best footballers in the world. He's probably not a million miles away, but I'd say he's not even the best forward in the PL. That he's ahead of the likes of Suarez and Aguero in the list is worthy of an lol.

Didn't realise Pogba was so high, another lol.

Thinking it'll be something like...

1; Mbappe
2; Messi
3; Ronaldo
4; Salah
5; KDB

Mbappe won't be number one...yet. He will at some point but now is too soon imo.

By far biggest crime is Lukaku in the top 50 (41st) on this list.... Shouldn't even be in the top couple of hundred.

32nd seems a bit generous for Icardi too.

Van Dijk and Walker are too low.  Would upgrade nearly every team in the world.  Cavani too high at 21 (flat track bully).  Pickford and Lukaku should not be on list.  I’d put David Silva top 10.

I read back over previous years and tbh, with the exception of the Top 4 or 5 each year the rest of the rankings seem pretty arbitrary.
Almost as though they wrote a list of the 95 that weren’t in the Top 5 and just drew positions at random.
Some of the 95 were a bit surprising too.

Hmmm, Modric the best footballer in the world in 2018? I'm not convinced.

One of my mates said he's gone from being underrated a few years ago to overrated these days, feels like a decent assessment.

Fancy Lukaku to have a good second half of season

personal reasons with suggestion may be his dad who had died after a long illness, would explain his seemingly lack of interest/fitness last few months
