Was listening to the radio and they was debating how many EPL players would be in the current top 10 of players right now, any position. This got me thinking and my current top 10 is as follows:

Messi
Ronaldo
Suarez
Zlatan
Aguero
Bale - Even though he's been injured and settling in he still has an impressive amount of goals and assists
Lahm - Shown great versatility switching from right back to defensive midfield and performing at a high level
Diego Costa - Ice cold in front of goal, strong, holds the ball up well, superb no 9
Vidal - So consistent, works hard and scores goals in big games. 17 goals already this season
Modric - Proving his class in Madrid now, probably the second name on the teamsheet after CR

This is based on the football matches that I have watched over this season. I've missed out some big name players but I think the above have all done really well this season.

I think the first 5 are not even debatable so i've put my reasons why the others are on my list.

Who makes your current list?

No particular order;

Iniesta
Messi
Ronaldo
Suarez
Aguero
Ribery
Lahm
Ibrahimovic
Cavani
Schweinsteiger

Players like Xavi, Neuer, Robben, Thiago Silva, Busquets, Rooney, Hazard, Reus, Sergio Ramos, Modric, Bale, Falcao, David Silva, Vidal, Yaya Toure, van Persie, Ozil, Javi Martinez, Fabregas etc. are all that kind of category too tbh, there's not much splitting a lot of players. Top 10's will purely be opinions and favouritsm really.

I don't watch enough European football to comment, but I'm assuming that Naughton is top of the list.

No Bale?

Edit: or Aguero?! You mad bro!?
I think Aguero and Bale are two of the top 10 forwards in the world. But, when looking at the 10 best players, I think you have to consider a few players who are the best at their position. Neuer is by far the best keeper in the world, and Thiago Silva is on a different level to just about any other centerback in the world.

we've had a max of 1 player from the EPL in the lists. I'm surprised how many commissions saurez has.

Toure is a good shout but Balotelli? You think he's a better striker than Costa, Lewandowski, Falcao, Cavani, Neymar, even Higuain? Genuinely believe Huntelaar is a better striker than Balotelli

He is only like 22 or something whereas KJH, Falcao, Cavani etc are much older, he is the best natural talent i have seen in an out and out striker in a generation, scary to think how good he will be in 5 years time
