Current top 10 players in the world?

[Eddy_JukeZ]

Been a while since we did one of these.

Who makes your top 10?

1. Messi
2. Neymar
3. Lewandowski
4. Mbappe
5. Ronaldo
6. Haaland
7. Kane
8. De Bruyne
9. Kimmich
10. Benzema

Didn't know who to put 10th. Feel like I might be missing someone obvious too.

 

[KeanoMagicHat]

1. Lewandowski
2. Messi
3. Mbappé
4. Haaland
5. Kanté
6. De Bruyne
7. Van Dijk (if fit)
8. Kane
9. Ronaldo
10. Neymar

 

[MrEleson]

Rearranging your list:

1. Neymar
2. Lewandowski
3. Messi
4. C.Ronaldo
5. Mbappe
6. De Bruyne
7. Benzema
8. Haaland
9. Kane
10.Kimmich

 

[giorno]

1-4
Lewandowski, Messi, Neymar, Mbappé
5
Kane
6-10
De Bruyne, Haaland, Benzema, Cristiano, Kimmich

 

[Jacob]

As per usual, overemphasis on attackers.

 

[youmeletsfly]

For me Messi, Ronaldo and Lewa should be the top3, in any order, I don't care. They're still the only players that can score heavily and consistently. So, I guess there's 7 more left:

4. Ruben Dias
5. Haaland
6. KDB (even though he seems to be fading)
7. Kimmich
8. VVD
9. Neymar
10. Benzema/Mbappe

 

[roonster09]

Not in order,

Messi, Lewandowski, Neymar, Ronaldo, Haaland, KdB, Salah, Kane, Kimmich, Mbappe.

 

[Sparky Rhiwabon]

Top 10 attackers?

 

[Lay]

I got a list and this the order that the list is in. It goes Messi, KDB, Kane and Mbappe, Lewa from Bayern, Ronaldo Haaland Neymar and then me.

 

[Eddy_JukeZ]

Top 10 attackers?

Are there any defenders that even stand out?

Chiellini-Bonucci were excellent at the Euros, but they weren't great for Juventus in Serie A or the CL.

Dias had a poor Euros and it's only this season where he's been top drawer for a top side. Maguire-Shaw haven't excelled enough in the CL. Van Dijk missed all of last season essentially. Ramos is past his best.

I suppose you could argue for Varane/Marquinhos, but I wouldn't put either in a top 10 list.

 

[Eriku]

For me Messi, Ronaldo and Lewa should be the top3, in any order, I don't care. They're still the only players that can score heavily and consistently. So, I guess there's 7 more left:

4. Ruben Dias
5. Haaland
6. KDB (even though he seems to be fading)
7. Kimmich
8. VVD
9. Neymar
10. Benzema/Mbappe

I’d say Haaland has shown he can score heavily and consistently?

 

[Alemar]

Where is Bruno?

 

[AngeloHenriquez]

With the impact Bruno has had a club level over nearly 2 years, I'm shocked he isn't in more of these lists

 

[Who's Kissing Cameras?]

Ronaldo
Mbappe
Haaland
KDB
Kane
Lewandowski
Kimmich
Messi
Frenkie De Jong
Bruno

no order.

 

[Red Royal]

If we are considering defenders, are own Luke Shaw should be in there

 

[amolbhatia50k]

1. Messi
2. Lewandowski
3. Neymar
4. Mbappe
5. VVD
6. Ronaldo
7. KDB
8. Kane
9. Bruno
10. Dias

Probably missed out on someone great.

Benzema should probably be above Kane, Bruno and Dias, now that I think of it (but am clearly too lazy).

 

[Dumbstar]

Where're Maguire and Shaw? Come on people you're not doing this right.

 

[Drizzle]

Messi and Lewandowski probably top 2.

Next tier:
Neymar, Haaland, Mbappe

Third tier:
Salah, Kane, Van Dijk*, De Bruyne, Ronaldo

Honorable mentions to De Jong, Lukaku, Kante, Dias, Alison, Kimmich.

*assuming he gets back to his best

 

[diarm]

Lewandowski
Ronaldo
Kante
Messi
Haaland
Mbappe
De Bruyne
Van Dijk
Bruno
Kane

I suppose you could argue for Varane/Marquinhos, but I wouldn't put either in a top 10 list.

This is where the bias against defenders is clear. Kane and Mbappe had a horrible Euros as well but their still part of everyone's top 10, and people would be surprised if they aren't. Why is it then that Dias shouldn't be there if he only had a bad Euros but had an excellent season?

You can argue that he's only had one great season, but then VvD became part of everyone's top 10 after one great season at Liverpool as well.

 

[Pep's Suit]

I would maybe wait 3-4 months after so many big transfers happened this summer. But right now it's Messi or Lewandowski.

 

[Pexbo]

Where're Maguire and Shaw? Come on people you're not doing this right.

It seems that people are more objective than you thought…

Shaw and Maguire are both Top 5 in the world in their positions, I’m adamant about that but that doesn’t mean they are in the 10 BPITW.

 

[Tom Cato]

De Gea
Shaw
Maguire
Varane
Rashford
Sancho
Ronaldo
Cavani
Fernandes
Haaland

 

[amolbhatia50k]

De Gea
Shaw
Maguire
Varane
Rashford
Sancho
Ronaldo
Cavani
Fernandes
Haaland

Not enough United players IMO

 

[Tom Cato]

I’d say Haaland has shown he can score heavily and consistently?

Top scorer in CL last season. Should have made double-topscorer to make the cut.

So is there a bias against defenders or not, considering VVD is also a defender.

Kane was easily the best player in the league, it's a shame he didn't win the award but that award has been a joke for some time.

 

[youmeletsfly]

I’d say Haaland has shown he can score heavily and consistently?

I give you that, alright. Let's see if he can keep it up when he moves to a tougher league.

 

[Pickle85]

Any list that doesn't contain Bendtner can't be taken seriously imo.

 

[FattyFooty]

1. Ronaldo.
2. Neymar.

Then a bunch of guys.

 

[Cloud7]

Cavani doesn't get enough respect on here. Should be in everyone's lists.

 

[duffer]

The lack of respect shown to the champions of Europe is staggering.

 

[harms]

1. Lewandowski
2. Messi
3. De Bruyne
4. Neymar
5. Mbappé
6. Haaland
7. Bruno
8. Kanté
9. Kimmich
10. Cristiano

 

[Revan]

In no particular order, based on this year I would go with: Messi, Lewa, Neymar, Haaland, Mbappe, Ronaldo, De Bruyne, Jorginho, Kane and Kante.

Van Dijk is/was much better than Dias in my opinion, Man City didn’t concede an exceptionally low number of goals last season or anything and used possession as part of their tactic to protect the defence. Even in an eye test, Van Dijk at his best is quicker and a better long range passer, while being as good at all the traits that Dias is known for.

 

[devil99]

As per last year in no particular order

PL : Salah, Bruno, KDB, Gundogan, Kane and Kante
La Liga: Messi, Benzema
Ligue1: Mbappe, Neymar
Bundesliga: Haaland, Kimmich and Lewandowski
Serie A: Ronaldo , Lukaku

 

[Bestietom]

Fred

 

[Eddy_JukeZ]

The lack of respect shown to the champions of Europe is staggering.

You're more than welcome to make a list and respect them yourself

I am surprised I didn't see more people put Kante with the incredible ending he had to the season.

 

[WeePat]

I got a list and this the order that the list is in. It goes Messi, KDB, Kane and Mbappe, Lewa from Bayern, Ronaldo Haaland Neymar and then me.

You arranged the names almost perfectly to go with the way the sound of that line goes.

 

[(...)]

Tier 1 : Messi, Neymar, Ronaldo, Lewandowski, Jorginho
Tier 2 (5 from these guys based on personal bias) : Dias, Kante, Benzema, De Bruyne, Haaland, Mbappe, Salah, Verratti, Pogba

 

[Eddy_JukeZ]

Tier 1 : Messi, Neymar, Ronaldo, Lewandowski, Jorginho
Tier 2 (5 from these guys based on personal bias) : Dias, Kante, Benzema, De Bruyne, Haaland, Mbappe, Salah, Verratti, Pogba

Jorginho in that tier has to be a WUM
