Some strong hipster choices on the bottom of that list...a good sight better than the Guardian's though.

i'm abstaining from voting, still can't believe someone wouldn't have messi in their top 15 Haha genuinely forgot about him. Looking back actually it's mind boggling how many other players I forgot about. Disappointed I forgot about Modric and Hummels as well.

Tbh it's hardly been a great year for Hummels. Got dropped from the national team iirc

and Martinez come to that..
My list is fucked looking back
@hellas I'm pretty sure I heard he wasn't a regular, yeh, although I can't honestly say I watch much of any international football to know for sure

Pretty good list, for the first 20 or so. Tails off a little the longer it goes on but that's to be expected when it's only 50 people and not all that serious.

^They weren't in the top 15 players in the past year though. Most entries barely even contained a defender. If we did a top 15 of the Premier League in 2013 then yes they should have been there but this was the best players in the world, they weren't. SoccerNerdCentral World XI of 2013 by voting the way they did the FifPro vote: Neuer Lahm Thiago Silva Varane Alaba Schweinsteiger Iniesta Vidal Ronaldo Messi Ribery Varane, rated highly Stu...

You just said it yourself, hardly anyone added defenders in.
I only put him in cos he's impressed for Madrid when I've seen them, I don't tend to watch much foreign football and I don't think there are that many decent CBs in the Premiership.
He was in 3/50 people on a random forums opinion thread, I don't class that as highly rated at all.

He was in 3/50 people on a random forums opinion thread, I don't class that as highly rated at all. It was 4 and more people put him on their lists than Toure, Kompany, Xavi, Pirlo, Thomas Muller. I think 4 is a lot on a list like this because after about 10 players, there's gonna be a fair amount of variation, tbh I'm surprised anyone put him in their top 15 players in the world. Each to their own I suppose.

I think if you're talking about Cbs in only Kompany and Thiago Silva are significantly better. Dante perhaps. Maybe Pique but getting mauled by Bayern makes me skeptical. People can't honestly say people like Varane or Chillieni are better because they don't see them enough. Maybe it's because I played defence for a while but if you're talking top 15 in the world it's shocking good players like Griezzmann get in purely because he's an attacker over the best defenders.

Also that XI is pretty good but two shocking inclusions. Who got in if Ribery is counted as a midfielder like Fifa did?
