Gerrard is clearly in the top 10 centre midfielders in the world.

Anyhoot:

Xavi
Essien
Fabregas
Gerrard
Ballack
Scholes

^ these are the top six by a mile, as I have to chose four others though:

De Rossi
Cambiasso
Carrick
Iniesta
Mascherano

I'm not including Kaka as he wouldn't play CM in a 442 formation, he's be a second striker or out wide.

He is, but certainly not the best central midfielder in the world.
