Agreed. Henderson does not look that great to me. Well he still has till may to prove other wise. Rodwell is also kinda overrated though

Hats off to you som, This is my favourite list so far. I was surprised no-one mentioned Pogba and sterling, but I guess they arent that "big-name" outta' Utd fans.

And Kimaway, Rodwell is still better than Henderson atm in my book

Hyped up because he is so young. A talent but it is hard to be fighting in the top 15....    Ganso didn't make the list either
Kimaway17 (Liverpool) 1 year ago
They gay is amazing. But I think the other 15 are better players. Pretty good at Ajax though
Mixawy (FC Barcelona II) 1 year ago
. Sahko  . Neymar  . Kelly  . Jones  . Smallin  . Thiago    I think they are the best

1.) Ozil one of the top players in the world

2.)Mat Hummels absolute beast in defence

3.)Stevan Jovetic, been one of my favorite players for a long time. Was injured all of last season, he will do work this season

4.)Eden Hazard pure class in a glass

5.)Chicarito lethal in front of the net

6.)Pastore top class has so much potential to be truly great

7.)Mario Gotze top draw electric on the pitch can only get better

8.)Alexis Sanchez, incredible player he will make a huge impact at Barca

9.)Nuri Sahin amazing passer of the football, any team would love to have him in their midfield

10.)Jacky Wilshire, another tremendous midfield gem really was a coming out party for him last season

11.)Angel Di Maria great attacking talent I just don't like his attitude and flops

12.)Romelu Lukaku immense striker has more talent and physical presence than a lot of strikers in the prem, just has to prove himself

13.)Thomas Muller one of the top performers of the world cup can finish with both feet and has a lot of technique for a German player

14.)Martin Kelly fantastic at right back I think he prefers center back, the next Jamie Carragher

15.)Neymar I think he is hugely overrated but a lot of talent to be sure

15.)Thiago amazing player another genius from La masia

Nice list. Henderson should not be above all those people. Except maybe Santon.
1. Mesut Ozil. Amazing last season. According to Stats him and Ronaldo were the most deadliest strike force. Scored 6 and assisted 17 in the league. Was Real's creative force last season and if it was not for holy trinity(Xavi Iniesta and Busquets) he would by far be the best CM or trequtista in the La Liga

2. Javier Hernandez. Next to Ozil signing of last season. Cost 9mill and scored 20 goals in his debut season. Not even Fergie could have thought he was capable of doing that. He is not the most skillful but he is very effective and knows how to find the net.

3. Alexis Sanchez: Fast skillful good finisher good crosser. Everything you want in a winger. One of the best wingers today. And also not bad as a forward

4. Angel Di Maria. Another great winger this lad. I think he's quite underrated. Next to Ronaldo and Ozil he was clearly one of Madrids great attacking forces. Very skillful. Difficult to defend against. And his finishing for a winger is quite superb.

5. Nuri Sahin. I really like this guy I do. I think it's sad that he went to Real. Because I do not see him getting much playing time. He is better than Khedira for sure but Madrid need that player that can defend in the midfield. And Khedira fits that bill. But Sahin was by far for me one of the best players in the Bundesliga last year if not the best. What a breakthrough season for him. His creativity was top draw.

6. Mario Gotze. This guy has a bright future. Future of Germany that is for sure. Even though he is 18 playing with great maturity. Skill creative can use both feet. Can play as a trequitista and a winger and is just 18.

7. Mat Hummels. Great defender. Shows great maturity at his age. His stats are more impressive that most of the elite defenders in Europe. And I can boldly say he is in the top 7 CB's in Europe.

8. Jack Wilshere. He is the English Gotze technically. Amazing breakthrough season last year. Future of England's midfield. He's so good that Capello is planning to pick a midfield around him. He is defos gonna' captain England one day.

9. Eden Hazard. This guy abilities is jst amazing. It was hard picking between him Gotze and Wilshere to see who would be 6th place. Had an amazing season last year. And that was his second amazing season in a row. Not sure if he deserved the Player of the year. But to win it at such a young age is very impressive.

10. Sahko
11. Neymar
12. Kelly
13. Jones
14. Smalling
15. Thiago
