Number 21 is supposed to be bruno fernandes i think, but it just says :

21 Sporting Manchester United

Level ∞

Fixed

It is amazing what Jurgen Klopp, Michael Edwards & FSG have put together at Liverpool. An entire starting XI of Top-100 players, plus 1. Along with Bayern Munich, at least for the time being, they appear to be the cream of the European crop.

Level 45

Lewan shouldn't be accepted for Dominic Calvert-Lewin.

Level 82

Dec 26, 2020

Agreed.

Level 44

Dec 27, 2020

Dominic Calvert Lewin should also be absolutely nowhere near this list

Level 46

Dec 27, 2020

I agree but he's a lot better than some of these players. Odegaard is going to be a good player but he's not top 100 yet, same with Ansu Fati. Some players are way too high as well like Ibrahimovic.

Level 59

Dec 27, 2020

Ansu Fati is definitely a top 100 player, but not top 50.

Level 95

Dec 26, 2020

Inter Milan and Internazionale are actually the same team, only written in different ways for certain players here, both versions are correct by the way.

Level 84

Dec 26, 2020

Yep, Inter, Inter Milan and Internazionale are all perfectly acceptable ways of referring to the club that shares the San Siro with AC Milan.

Level 50

Dec 26, 2020

"Becker" should also count for Alisson, since its his last name. I believe its also on his jerseys.

Level ∞

Dec 26, 2020

Okay

Level 62

Dec 27, 2020

Typo - 86 instead of 96 in Dominik Szovoszlai's spot.

Level 56

Dec 27, 2020

Bayern's team is scarily good at the moment; I think we may see a repeat of the type of dominance Real Madrid had in Europe from 2015-18. Also, it's just a very small thing but I would maybe consider changing the team name 'Wolverhampton' to 'Wolves', as this is how it's more commonly known.

Level 70

Dec 27, 2020

It's like Juve and Juventus, I think Wolverhampton is very common at least where I am from (Italy)

Level 72

Apr 16, 2021

Apparently not as just been knocked out at the quarter final stage

Level 58

Dec 27, 2020

Damn, Varane, laporte and Sule are names that I fully expected to be here. Especially ahead of the likes of Ødegaard and Morata - not that they are bad, I just think there are more deserving names.

Level 61

Dec 27, 2020

95, 86, 97? Either that's a typo or you skipped that day in Maths class...

Level 66

Dec 28, 2020

Griezmann? I think he is overrated.

Level 74

Jan 9, 2021

Griezmann’s transfer to Barca turned out to be as successful as Hazard’s at Real!

Level 71

Dec 28, 2020

Grealish came top of the class at Professor Neymar's School of faking fouls and injury. (his push the ball past and then run into the man is a treat to watch).

Level 76

Dec 31, 2020

Neymar's still the best since Rivaldo (ball to leg, holds face in "pain" and rolls on the grass if anyone remembers). Grealish is getting better at actually playing like princess Ronaldo did at ManU. ;)

Level 65

Jan 4, 2021

Couldn't disagree more and shows a complete outdated view of the modern game, so many more players on this list dive far more than Grealish ever does but you single him out.

Check slow replays and he's genuinely fouled a vast majority of the time, he runs at players who's only way to stop him is to foul him. On the odd occasion there's a dive yes, but please name one team anywhere in top flight Europe where players don't do this.

If he was a local lad playing for your team you'd be singing his praises from the rooftops!

Level 42

Dec 28, 2020

How is Nicolo Barella here and not Edinson Cavani

Level 51

Jan 22, 2021

you dont watch football right?

Level 42

Jan 25, 2021

I do I know a lot of footballers.

Level 55

Dec 28, 2020

this list is so dumb, the judges scoring this list defo only look at stats. poor.

Level 40

Jan 1, 2021

Amazing how Atlético Madrid are on top of the league with barely three players making this list.

Level 82

May 20, 2021

Lille OSC are on top of the league with no player making the list

Level 72

Jan 8, 2021

Needs more time, especially as there are a hundred answers and a heck of a lot of them aren’t easy to spell. You could also do with a lot more type-ins, but given how tricky some of the spellings are, you might be there a while! Lol

Level 91

Apr 8, 2021

Last one I got was Suarez ::facepalm::. I'd forgotten he'd moved to Atletico from Barca.

Level 65

Sep 20, 2021

Haha, Henderson at #33

Level 54

Nov 11, 2021

The fact that Cavani is not on this list is just crazy
