Forrest and Wanyama are both on it.


Coolest name by far is Granit Xhaka. Must be a rock at the back.

I got to see Chris Forrester play for St. Pats when I was living in Europe. He was easily the best player on the field. It will be interesting to see how he fares in a bigger league.

I thought it was in order at first.. but Neymar at like 60 something debunked that.

Also no Muricans that I saw

I remember watching this kid play for one of Brazil's youth sides a year or so ago and was very impressed.

Actually he's a central midfielder for Borussia Mönchengladbach, similar to Kevin Strootman or Michael Bradley: box to box, physical, and hard working.

Besides the obvious ones, these guys are going to be very, very good IMO.

EDIT: The correct first name of the "Georgian messi."
EDIT 2: why are all good, young, and small talents the next messi?

67. Neymar, Santos, 20. Arguably the third best player in world football after Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo.
