    Again in no order, and leaving out Ronaldo and Messi, who let's face it are just wingers...

    Ibrahimovic - All round brilliant.
    Tevez - On form, he puts away goals like fine china....whatever that means.
    Van Persie - His form past few seasons is unrivalled.
    Rooney - It's hard not to have him on, even if there are many reasons not to.
    Aguero - Adjusted to the Prem well, after solid if unspectacular time in Spain.
    Di Natale - Still putting them away despite the disadvantage of being confined to a zimmer frame.
    Huntelaar - Came close to leaving him off due to poor spells at Real Madrid and AC Milan, but his form with Ajax and Schalke, and indeed Holland, is really impressive.
    Cavani - His form for Napoli is incredible, but another who I'd like to see do better on the national stage.
    Falcao - That form in the Europa League last season...
    Llorente - Give the man a Euro starting berth.

    A word on some players who are left out. Neymar is class yes, I just feel he needs to do it in Europe to be considered a top striker. Still brilliant mind.

    I've never liked Gomez purely because he always seems to do nothing in major tournaments. No goals in Euro 2008/WC 2010 anyone?

    I was close to putting Podolski in, but his form with Bayern wasn't great, and it'll be interesting to see how he fares in the Premier League...I'm not holding my breath on that one.

    In no order whatsoever:

    Messi
    Raul - definitely still got it
    Ibrahimovic
    Van Persie - simply for carrying Arsenal to third this season
    Huntelaar
    Benzema
    Rooney
    Cavani
    Podolski
    Cisse

    It's hard to call though, because Llorente, Aguero, Falcao, Neymar and others all arguably deserve a place. Maybe Raul isn't in the top ten in the world anymore. With a lot playing in different leagues, It's hard to judge.

    Personal choice, I rate Suarez very highly and when he starts banging them in more often he'll be slotting 30 a season away. Shame he plays for Liverpool.
