Top Players of the Last 25 Years

Postby Callum » Mon Jan 19, 2015 12:45 am

After we had some good fun voting for our top 50 players in the world for 2014, I thought I'd start up something a bit different in the same format. Instead of voting for who you thought were the best players in one calendar year, this time you'll be voting for who you think were the greatest players over the course of a quarter of a century (so from 1990-2015).

At this point I am unsure as to whether to ask for 25 votes from each member before giving an overall top 50 (as we did for the 2014 vote) or do I extend it so each member names 50 players, resulting in a final list of 100 after we've aggregated the scores? What does everyone think?

I've added a poll and will open the voting when we have decided on a number!

I'm already struggling!

I kinda wanted to extend it though, might make it more interesting. Maybe allow 40 votes instead of 25 or 50?

Also, would it better to do it from 2000 instead of 1990?

That way nearly everyone on here will have seen all the players.

Yeah I'll change it to that then.

I'm thinking maybe 40 players each from everyone then I'll post an overall list of 75/80.

Opinions?

No do it from 1990 onwards, the players of the 90's were a class above the 2000's bunch!

My pennies worth a list of 25 and you have to create a squad of players from 1990 - present .

1990 gives us older folks a better pool to pick from ha ha.

The thing is that if I do it to 1990 there's tons of players my generation never got to see - I can't talk about the likes of Michael Laudrup and Romario, for example, because I never saw them in their primes.
