1. First of all it takes me 10 minutes to go after every choice of your ranking. It is indeed fairly difficult to decide the exact ranking of a particular player but let's divide your Top 200 into 4 sections. Nos. 1 - 50 Fairly enough in general, except Jose Reina (more consistent than Cech), Tevez (only Man U has the luxury to make him a rotational player), Robinho (playing on a decent team hurts his stock), Alves (still the same unstoppable wing back) and Cambiasso (as dominant as Mascherano but much better creator) deserve in this group instead of Vucinic, Abidal, Lucio, Lahm and Cannavaro. Nos. 51 - 100 Lucio, Lahm and Cannavario relegate to this group accordingly, while Maicon (his importance to Inter is underrated and he is the only Brazilian who can challenge Alves at present), Mutu (maybe his track record hinders contenders to sign him, but a true class act on the pitch), Moutinho (this kid is as good as Deco), Stankovic (another underrated warrior from Inter, and he can kill you in various ways), Modric (equal talent and capability to Nasri but much better mental toughness), Chivu (a wonderkid who has never disappointed us since emerging around 10 years ago) and Drogba (still a reliable constant threat up front) should be promoted to this group. This means 5 players namely Riise, Bosingwa, Ze Roberto, Grygera and Barzagli should be relegated. Nos. 101-150 It is more realistic to rank Abidal and Vucinic in this group, so are Barzagli, Riise and Grygera. I suggest to promote Akinfeev (unarguable a leading goalkeeper among the born-at-mid-80s), Marquez (a key piece for resurrection of Barca empire), Walcott (accelerating improvement in the last 18-24 months), Giggs (undoubtedly a legend), Tymoscheuk (the least heralded midfielder I can ever name), Rafinha (a slightly inferior wing back to the like of Maicon) and Muntari (he surprises lots of us actually) to this group. It represents 9 players to be relegated to the next group, in particular Schneider, Ivanovic, Kewell, Van Bommel, Barnetta, Kuranyi, Neill, Babel and Hyypia. Nos. 151 - 200 Ze Roberto, Bosingwa, Barnetta, Kuranyi, Babel and Ivanovic belongs to this group, while means Kewell, Van Bommel, Neill, Schneider and Hyypia should be excluded. Other names that should be excluded in the last quarter of 200 include Endo, Guiza, Cole, Almeida, Zaki, Friedrich and Almeida. Those move up the chart includes Veloso (a complete package of quality defensive midfielder), Pique (a real gem in central defense), Corluka (another dominant defender in future), Palop (the secret of Sevilla success in recent years), Anyukov (a better overall than the like of Ivanovic), Kompany (same case to Corluka), Feillani (plays a gang but possible to be another Gattuso), Kranjcar (some way off to Modric but a good attacking midfielder indeed), Santa Cruz (respectable striker), Howard of Everton (Ferguson's biggest leftout of all time), Maxwell of Inter (he may often been overlooked by national team, but he is clearly a better player than Marcelo at present) and Palombo of Sampdoria (a prototype of tenacious world-class defensive midfielder).
2. Ibrahimovic is a bit high, Berbatov should be much lower, Henry should be much higher.
3. I don't think the diving queen should be at top. 77
4. Yes, finally someone agrees with me that Cristiano Ronaldo is the best. However, I think the UCL Final will determine who's better, and right now, Barca looks like the winning team. Why are Iker Casillas and Steven Gerrard so high up on the list? You should move Xavi, Kaka, Vidic, Villa, and Lampard up.
5. dude you have way too much spare time!
