Messi - Needs no explanation.
C. Ronaldo - Hate him but can't doubt he has amazing ability.
Iniesta - In my opinion, the best midfielder in the world.
Xavi - The best passer of a ball in the world.
Drogba - Hate him like Ronaldo, and although recently benched for Torres, on his day, is every defenders worst night mare - power, pace, aerial threat, skill, long range hitter and good free kick taker = Arguably the complete striker.
Pique - Man Utd may have Vidic, Rio and now have Smalling and Jones coming through but when they let this guy go back to Barca for £5m (I think, if wrong please correct), that was probably one of Fergies only mistakes, truly class centre back.
Rooney - Haven't always been a fan and especially in the world cup he looked no better than pub player, yet on his day, like Drogba, is unplayable, works as hard for himself as he does for his team too, great player, glad he's English.
Ozil - Showed his class at the world cup and is keeping Kaka out of the first team at Real.
Kaka - Even though the above player is keeping him out the team at the moment, Kaka is an amazing player, you don't win world player of the year and get bought for £60m (think it was that) if you're a bad player. Shame the twitter rumours weren't true about a loan to Spurs... Would have loved it!
Samuel Eto'o - Probably the most questionable pick of my selection, and might have now moved to a "lesser" league but Eto'o has been the most consistent striker over the past decade in my opinion, lethal finisher.
Mentions also need to go to Vidic, Fabregas, Lampard, Tevez, Sneijder, Schweinsteiger and Modric (Oh come on! I have to put one Spurs player in! Lol).
