    Lahm should be higher than Robben.

    At least a goalkeeper has finally been getting recognition this year.

    Think Muller should probably be number 2.

    James Rodriguez must be one of the most overrated people on planet earth. 100 - 30 just seems to be a 'put them where you like' list. Rogerio Ceni is a bit random.

    In all fairness Jezza, this list is based on 2014, and James was the best player (IMO) and top scorer at the World Cup. Based on this year, he has every right to be so high.



    Ceni's a cracking keeper. Great goalscoring record to boot.

    Also, Ibrahimovic is 13 places too low.

    Go on that the best 11 with each playing playing in there correct positions would be

    Nauer

    Alaba Silva Godin Lahm

    Kroos Pogba Toure

    Messi Suarez Ronaldo

    Interesting side. But not the side I'd pick.

    If I were to pick an XI based on players from that list, it would be (remember, this is opinion):

    Neuer
    Lahm Silva Hummels Blind
    Kroos Modric Fabregas
    Messi Ibrahimovic Ronaldo

    So hard to leave certain players out.

    Are you really suggesting Daley is the best left back in the world?

    You must be Blind.

    Firstly, cracking pun.

    Secondly, it's more a 'players that i'd want' XI rather than a 'best' XI.

    Merry Christmas.
