I cannot resist these kind of threads
My top 201. Reus - I've never seen an individual player make the game look quite as easy as he managed to do it. He had phenomenal control of the ball; if there was the slimmest of opportunities to score or gain an advantage, he'd be odds on to execute. If you were to solely consider the achievments of the teams he was part of then it might be harder to argue his case for being the G.O.A.T., but as an individual player at his peak, he truly was peerless.
2. Dexter - Perhaps a little less 'tricky' than Reus, but as Clinical Striker alluded to, a proven winner. Capable of some of the slickest passing you could wish for.
3. Doctoré - For being the above's partner in crime for so long and the other half to a duo that could draw the most deserved comparisons to Xavi and Iniesta.
4. YaaDon - The best player to come out of the Israeli scene, just knew the game inside and out, and let's also not forget that he was capable of mixing it with the best, as he so often had to, on 50ms ping higher than his opponents.
5. aguero10 - A truly great attacking player, and one that never had to rely on being unpredictable to get stuff done; could make any player look like a fool just by playing the logical moves extremely well.
[The top 5 I'm sure of, you can take the rest in any order you like though, I think they're very hard to separate]
Ced - It should be seen as no faint praise that in a team that included both Israel's best and brightest and aguero10 that he still managed to attract the most attention for a while. A devastating attacking player that you just did not want to face.
Dr. Rad - For real, if there's any player that could have been a force in Europe from across the Atlantic when hax was in its heyday, it's this guy. The epitome of discipline, he had the rare trait of being able to adapt to any player's style; even when without his allstar partners like Az and SirDgbyChcknCsr, he could pretty much singlehandedly make his team a force to be reckoned with on SPHB with his combination of grit and guile.
Lindros - The closest SPHB has gotten to producing a player like Dexter. A player that didn't emerge overnight, but one that through painstaking dedication to the game became one of the most solid anchors to a midfield. Could probably take on anyone in FM in its current state even at his ping disadvantage.
ProCedeR - Similar mold to a player like aguero10 again in that he wasn't a flashy type, just played the textbook stuff very well. I doubt he'd be many people over here's pick for the best ever Polish player, but he's sorely underrated as a gritty positional type who came from a country more renowned for producing its tricksters like GQKU, TV5 and supreme.
Gerrard - The player closest to matching YaaDon's ability from the Levant.
Isco - Played a more brutal style than other DMs, and equally as capable scoring goals from that position as setting them up. A bit like Fritz, but better.
R9 - Needs no introduction really, the heart ans soul of Angels of Death and one of the best attacking DMs there's been.
Micran - If Dexter and Doctoré were Xavi and Iniesta, Micran would be Cantona, a tremendously entertaining player to watch.
Linas - Might be the best current Turkish player, and a worthy successor to those that have gone before him. Helped break his country's duck on the international stage, succeeding on a stage where players like R9, Rocky Balboa, Overkill, Whiplash, Kranj et. all came up short.
garbaN - A sort of Serbian Reus, and for my money underappreciated given the huge wealth of talent he had; just a shame he didn't continue playing show everyone what he could do beyond 2012.
RTZS - Another player who if he played for longer I feel would easily vindicate me for picking him as the strongest player to come from Sweden.
NesQuik - The patrician's choice for best ever player from Germany, and to be honest the safest pick from my point of view in case he ever decides to rise from his grave and get me banned for not recognising him.
Wenom - What a don this guy was, helped pioneer the more aggressive tight spamming strategy used by the best in Russia today in Big Easy, and part of the strongest international tournament's strongest national team, not to mention an HCL champion's lineup as well.
luck (no, not
that one) - If Russia ever had a player comparable to aguero10, it'd be him.
Maddude - Criminally underrated, and a player whose longevity is basically unparalleled; tactically very perceptive, creative and skilful, and has been bringing out the best of what might have been otherwise unremarkable British players without his influence for yonks.
That's 20 isn't it, many more I haven't mentioned could also be acceptable picks
