SkySports 100 best footballers of 2017

Sick joke
Modric and De Gea at 97 and 96 invalidates the list instantly.
Edit: Just saw the list is generated by their scoring index. So it's pretty pointless.

Veratti at 94th. Those 3 are all more than 40 places behind Mkhitaryan, Kolarov and Sigurdsson.
I get that there is a specific criteria and method for this ranking. I could create a list of the 100 best footballers based on wiping Merlin stickers with peanut butter and allowing a hamster to pick players at random.
It doesn't mean the list would warrant publishing on a national sports news site.

Modric’s ranking 
Looks like their submission would qualify as a pisstake in your best players of the year thread DamoSurely theyre not in order
Surely you would not claim that your computer generated advanced metrics tools came up with that list. You´d blame it on the intern, who thought Sky was a weather channel.
lol, modric is 32 places worse than Ndidi... sort yourselves out sky, modric and de gea should be in the top 10 if anything.

What is wrong with Sky? "Oh this boy was 5th best at Ballon d'Or, let's put him on 97th place on our list"
Are they counting up to 100 rather than down? What the feck is that?
It's probably Paul Merson who's done this list. He left Salah out of his team of the season so far!
Still daft though.
40-21 - nearly all attackers.
Includes Rashford at 33 and former United great Memphis Depay at 32.
This was done by Merson, Keown and @Wumminator.
This is the full list, I simply don't know what to make of it

Lukaku at 7th, fecking hell
More like De Gea only just making it on to the list, is far more bizarre.
So basically, goal keepers have no chance.
