is coming later this month - here's last year's. kind of interesting to read & look at who the big movers will be in the last 12mo - can't see Benzema, Ronaldo or Messi featuring nearly as highly if at all. Sure Virge will have shot up, KDB plummeted, Saka will be well up near the top, doubt Onana (62), Trippier (63) or Rashford (67) will feature. And so on

Given that Rodri has been crocked for two months and Haaland is bang out of form, it'll be interesting to see who is top. Not sure there's an obvious number 1.

It’ll be Saka and Palmer

They’re going to have to give top spot to Vini Jr otherwise those madridistas will stomp and huff and cry and cancel their guardian subscriptions en masse.

I'd say Mo has something to say about that

yeah, some funny ones.

I remember in 18 or 19 Bobby didn't even make the top 100

Often these lists are, at least in part, to generate lots of outraged replies aren't they? 

A bit like some of the posts on here at times, obvs..

It'll probably be Vini Jr. 

Would say Bellingham, Mo, Palmer (maybe) and Saka are up there for top 5

Give to Rodri 😊 

In fairness, his reputation is at an all time high whilst City struggle without him.

Mainly by Macca.

Ad revenue from his clicks alone pays for Barney Ronay's expense account each year.

Ha! Macca loves them 😊

I'm always grateful to him for posting them all tho. 

Must almost be time for the Pitchfork Albums of the Year thread/debate on The Genny...

Maguire has more international goals than Vini Jr

He's good, but they're desperately trying to make him into this generational talent which he isn't

can imagine keepers are gonna have it rough here if Raya & Ali are so far down. Obviously Martinez will be high up because people believe hype. Surely Ederson can't be above Raya & Ali? Don't know enough about other keepers non-UK based to comment on those

Courtois will be high
