Football League Top 50 Players

Hiney · Apr 3, 2013

Just published in FourFourTwo magazine.

The top Ten:

10. Tom Pope (Port Vale)
9. Harry Maguire (Sheffield United)
8. Anthony Knockaert (Leicester City)
7. Glenn Murray (Crystal Palace)
6. Chris Wood (Leicester City)
5. Paddy Madden (Yeovil Town)
4. Jordan Rhoes (Blackburn Rovers)
3. Charlie Austin (Burnley)
1= Wilfried Zaha (Crystal Palace)
1= Tom Ince (Blackpool)

Our contribution was Thomasz Kuszczak (36) and Liam Bridcutt at 26

Interesting. Voted for by fans, who had to rate the best three players in their division from outside their club.

Not sure I would have had Liam Bridcutt as low as 26th but maybe I'm biased..............

Any thoughts?

They'll know who Ulloa is next season.

LuaLua takes one stepover to beat someone consistantly (but then usually a poor cross else would be in Prem), zahaha takes 5 stepovers to move 2 yards then do another 3, then 5, then do google all! Same result, not a patch on Tom Ince!

Lopez not in the best 100 players in the football league? That right there shows this list should be taken with a pinch of salt.

HastingsSeagull · Apr 4, 2013

Koosh fully deserved...... was spilloni in there at all? Genuine question as in the past he's been good but looked shocking this season

Tbh Zaha wouldn't make my top 10. Talented yes, but lack of end product unless you class diving as product.

How many opposition fans really appreciate Bridcutt's quality? Not many I would imagine.

Hopefully they won't know who Ulloa is next season as we will be a league apart!!

List is an absolute joke. Paddy Madden would do well to be in the top 5 strikers let alone top 5 players.

Ooops, naturally thought it was top 100. I guess top 50 is still a little harsh

El Turi · Apr 4, 2013

From what I've seen of league one and two this season, the quality is poor so I'm not sure how 3 players outside the Championship have got in the top 10.

Mo Gosfield · Apr 4, 2013

Strikers and forward players always dominate these lists. Throughout football history, the goalscorers always catch the eye more. Some of these players wouldn't make my top ten but they are more regularly in the news for their exploits.
What about Whittingham or Trotter or Ward or Speroni or Bridcutt? Just a few worthy of top ten consideration.

Strange list..

No Vicente, Koosh or Bruno..

I suppose they don't take Premier League, Champions League, and International quality into account.

Vegas Seagull · Apr 4, 2013

4-4-2 but only goalscorers count? Embarrassing for a magazine with that title

keaton · Apr 4, 2013

I don't see how Murray who's scored more goals and does a lot of work for the team, got less votes than Austin or Rhodes who are a waste of space if they're not scoring

It's quite democratic - Has Vicente actually played in more than say a third of your games? How many votes could he expect?

I find FourFourTwo an absolute waste of space now. It used to be brilliant, the best football magazine out there, now it's a Messi/Barcelona love in with a ton of adverts. They only seem to pay lip service to anything outside the Premier League or top divisions in Europe. Haven't bought it for ages, I've now got a subscription to Twenty47even or whatever it's called. Much better. I got given a copy of it free at the Huddersfield match, and had signed up for a year within a week.

Koosh is on there. I don't think either Bruno or Vicente would make my top ten Albion players this season
