Best Ever Foreign Premier League Players

Can you name the top 50 foreign premier league players according to a recent poll? NOTE* - Players who joined clubs before the inception of the Premier League in 1992 DO NOT count, for example Eric Cantona or Peter Schmeichel. Also ranks are based on performances while playing in the Premier League and not subsequent or previous performances in other leagues. List is ranked as of 2015, so current players like Riyad Mahrez or Dimitri Payet are not considered.
