Im not saying Haaland does not deserve it but Haaland was not great in UCL quarters, semis or final, or FA Cup final. His overall season was...
My 22/23: 1. Messi 2. Mbappe 3. Haaland 4. De Bruyne 5. Gundogan
I doubt Lewandowski will do it in one season, but two is a strong possibility if he does not jet off to Saudi too that is !!
Aubamayeng was good for a decent length of time at Dortmund and Arsenal but Eto'o chased the cash when in his prime and moved to Russia when...

Re Zico that is my point exactly, in 83-84 season he is in top 10 100% in my view, 84 calendar year he is not, his peak in 83-84 season was all in...
If you are looking at 83-84 season Zico has to be much higher, Zico played for Udinese in Serie A in 83-84 and was a revelation and ended the...
Apolgies, I am very behind on this, my list based on 21/22 season 1. Benzema 2. De Bruyne 3. Mbappe 4. Salah 5. Mane
I think I read Messi won, was there a normal top 20 published? Thanks in advance Sorry - that should read 2022!
Given the huge amount of additional time we have seen in each game, which I do not think is a bad thing, I think this could be the highest GPG for...

I have been extremely busy so not added mine, is it to late to do if I did it decade by decade?
As the new season is just about to kick off (or has in some cases) here is the current position. Key points: Despite Man Utds disastrous season...
