What a completely ****ing stupid list. 

 

It's always been a completely ridiculous concept. There's an enormous amount of variation between players even just in one position let alone all of the pitch. 

 

How do you go about comparing the impacts of, say, Makelele, Viera and Zidane who all played in the same centre midfield together? They all had different roles and qualities to each other. 

 

None of them could have done what Bartez, Thuram or Henry could have done and that's just not looking any further than one team in one moment of history. 

 

How can you rank Lahm, Ronaldinho and Buffon above or below each other in the same list and say any of them are better or worse than each other? Dumb af. 

 

Not only that but football is significantly different now to 10 and 20 years ago. Individuals could have a bigger impact back then. Now it’s ALL systems. Players are signed to fit into systems, whereas 20 years ago you’d adapt around players.

Would be much better to poll 10 players (if that many) in each position and vote from there
