Castrol Football Rankings

[FCBarca]

Interesting and quite extensive ranking system of world football players was officially unveiled...Interestingly enough, features quite a few Barca players (6 out of the top 10)...Ironic too since the chosen ambassador for the launch was Cristiano Ronaldo (#3 in the rankings).

Better still, the official site has a way to filter the entire rankings, by player, country, league, etc...Very kewl

LOL Thierry Henry, #1???!!! I stopped there my friend...

Abbiati #19???

 

[FCBarca]

Granted, it's unusual from first glance but when you factor in how they score the players, it's quite compelling actually...It gives you some insight into how we rank players to begin with...My guess is that this scoring system will continue to be tweaked but there's never been anything quite like it

Non mover

LOL

See only goalkeepers:

1. Abbiati?????? He hasn't played since a half year....
2. Drobny of Hertha, who is last in a bundesliga and conceed a lot.

Julio Cesar is only on the 5th place.

SHIT!

At defs: Abidal is better than Terry.... Marcelo is better than RioFerdinand etc....

At midfields: Malouda and Benayoun better than Iniesta.... Cahill better than Kaká...

At strikers: Inzaghi better than Ibra

Haha. Bayern has 5 in the top 100. I guess this Champions League will be lopsided according to these rankings

Sniejder is second best midfielder in the Serie A at 137. First goes to the man who has had the best season of his life at Bjuve Diego at 90.

What a F*****N Joke this is!!!:wth:
