For some time now, I've been working on a project that combines different measurement exercises. I created a prototype with 1000 players from the 1950s onward ordered in scales/groups of 50. However, it's obvious to me that there's a point where, no matter how hard I try to establish a recognizable pattern, the ways of differentiating them become too diverse (similar to what @pep pep has occasionally published). For now, I've felt much more comfortable with the first 250 (ordered into 5 scales of 50) and I'd appreciate any feedback on any obvious omissions, any debatable/weak inclusions, or, even better, how you'd order the scales. Parameters: - Since 1950: Players who experienced their prime or most of it from the 1949-50/1950 season onward. - At least 5 full seasons of activity.

Nice work Peru: welcome back to the forum! For now I won't say a lot; probably you would remember that personally I'd be inclined (partly because I would always to some extent give big weight to prime form, but also due to capabilities shown in big games vs top opponents) to put a Savicevic above some more recent players such as Ibrahimovic for example. A couple of things I noticed recently might be interesting and somewhat relevant: a quote about Gunnar Gren (who my own estimation would have only borderline rather than comfortably making it I guess, but it's difficult - I even felt like he was more a 1940s player maybe although this Liedholm quote does specifically say 1950s - you can see on another thread Maniac Butcher lately posted a 1980s set of choices by role/position by Liedholm with Gren as 1st inside right, but of course he was his team-mate and friend): GREN Gunnar: The Professor | Football Stories ""He was the Maradona of the fifties," his teammate Nils Liedholm recalled of him, "he made the ball do any stunt, he could decide by himself and solve any game." Then also re; Enzo Scifo (he'd be in my own 250, contending for 100-125 even I think) there are some decent ones on Youtube already but this video from his game vs Uruguay in 1990 highlights his qualities in his prime well I think (but all in all his longevity/adaptability was pretty good in his career, despite the less-than-stellar Inter Milan period overall, similar to Bergkamp it might be said....but I don't seem him as high up a list as Dennis I should clarify): jf1 on X: "Enzo Scifo vs Uruguay, World Cup 1990 Good performance, great goal! https://t.co/xj4YxBFnHK" / X I think from a Xavi or Iniesta it would be regarded as a top performance (I think it doesn;t show all touches though to be fair), so maybe he shouldn't be overlooked too much due to not being part of such a dynasty of success as such players were (even if 'greatness' is sometimes partly determined by that) if you get what I mean....
Sorry @Perú FC I just wrote you a long post but was logged out and couldn't post it! Anyway, quick version (also I was considering the aspect of the parameters a little re: Fritz Walter, Stanley Matthews, Gren/Nordahl, Ademir/Zizinho - and posted links re: Walter but mentioned uncertainty re: 1940s) Fritz Walter full matches | Footballia (I should watch those in full in theory I had said!) 1.FC Kaiserslautern (Deutscher Meister 1951 & 1953) - YouTube (picked out assist in 1953 Final as an example, with some World Cup moments, but talked a bit also about whether we judge on level in own era or try to imagine them all in the same one etc) For my choices (225/226 of these I could use and then fill in the rest in theory with some names you have put in already and probably a few more you hadn't - I had listed all ones I had in not in your 250, with positional label as per your post too but I won't do that again as takes time - you can see them anyway as well as @msioux75 's ones for the same exercise): https://www.bigsoccer.com/threads/p...ll-time-rankings.2128865/page-8#post-42969718 https://www.bigsoccer.com/threads/p...ll-time-rankings.2128865/page-8#post-42970207 I should have remembered to refresh the page in another tab before pressing post, but anyway that's the quick version posted now!
Warm regards PDG. Yes, I remember your profiling of Savićević. It all depends on how we balance the peak form evaluation with respect of consistency. Here I've based much of my approach, about consistency, on how I'd order them by seasons (regarding the exercise of tops 23 + HMs). Regarding Gren, it's exactly what you think. I've ruled him out considering that most of his prime was in the 1940s, unlike his famous colleagues Liedholm and Nordahl (I think his decline began after 1951-52). I must say I experienced Scifo, but I reaffirmed him even better in retrospect. Even so, I think very difficult to find a name that could comfortably replace with him up to the scale presented. Despite everything, I must say that I placed Scifo in the immediate group, the one corresponding to the top 300, and that makes me think that perhaps it would be even more interesting to present the whole list here, even though from this level onwards I've several doubts about whether the system generates the differences.
Thanks Peru mate. And sorry again about the non-post of today (just posting the quick version after the log out): one thing I had alluded in that (most of what is missing now was just me listing my included names that weren't in your 250, with position/s though) is that I wouldn't exactly feel sure Gren is clearer for 1940s (so ruled out more for 1950s) than Nordahl (but it could be he is yes), but yes Liedholm seems more clear, possibly with outright peak in early AC Milan times but certainly having significant seasons in late 50s also.
Something I noticed, and certainly other posters too, I think, it's the "pyramid effect" between GOAT and elite and "less great" tiers. I mean, more descent from GOAT tier in declining level, then, most the number of players you could find, like a geometrical progression. And also, more difficult to find clear differences between tiers. Anyways, great effort @Perú FC

I have worked on a project for some years now, where I have tried to place the 44–55 best players (since 1960s 55 players, and 1920s to 50s 44 players) in each decade. I have placed every player in the decade they started their career, and below are the highest ranked players who missed out on my list, based on pep pep's ranking. Players with an asterisk is also on your 250 list. So in brackets it's pep pep rank of the player and also the decade they started their careers where they missed out on. I have finished each decade except 60s where I have about 20% work left to do, so one or two of the 60s players below might be included in my final list of 60s players.

One thing I thought about that @TerjeC is that some players primes/careers overlap two decades and so looking at half one decade and half another might make them seem bigger candidates. Like I said I guess any listing of mine still has a big slant towards peak anyway (and besides that we can rate/appreciate/witness players a bit different between us in some cases), but for example Pires (90s-00s - 00s peak), Scifo (80s-90s), Antognoni (70s-80s), Elkjaer peaking in 80s, Vukas seemingly in 50s.... I vaguely remember on some thread (for a limited 'top players' selection over 5 years or maybe less even) I had excluded Papin for early 90s, but in theory overlapping 80s/90s instead seemed mote favourable I had thought/said, so I guess that's similar. I know Peru does consider full career so I guess it's not a relevant point for him so much (the only thing to consider when assessing his list is that it's derived from his assessments of each season....which I could have thought about before he mentioned it because I knew he'd been working on that a long time...so it's based on own-era prowess and accolades indeed I guess).
Yes, same question here - good list with a lot of work that went into it but not sure how Ibrahimovic gets ranked ahead of a player like Kaka that won a Ballon D'Or, led his team to a Champions League and won a World Cup.
I'll try (it might be a bit complicated). I'll review it in 2 parts: - Skills in peak/prime form. - Career consistency at elite an average levels. The 1st point is highly subjective and depends entirely on my impression, but the 2nd might be more "explainable". Let's take the comparison between Ibrahimović and Kaká as an example. For those who remember, I adapted @Tom Stevens's work of the tops 23 per season and made my own changes gradually in recent years. Based on that, I get a kind of crude formula that I think more or less graphs the dimensions in their primes measurements at its own time. KAKÁ (7.7) 2001 Relevant Level (São Paulo) +0.3 2002 HM (São Paulo) +0.5 2003-04 #5 (AC Milan) +1.4 2004-05 Top 23 (AC Milan) +1 2005-06 Top 10 (AC Milan) +1.3 2006-07 #1 (AC Milan) +2 2007-08 Top 23 (AC Milan) +1 2008-09 HM (AC Milan) +0.5 IBRAHIMOVIĆ, Zlatan (13.4) 2002-03 National Level (Ajax) +0.3 2003-04 National Level (Ajax) +0.3 2004-05 Top 23 (Juventus) +1 2006-07 Top 23 (Inter) +1 2007-08 Top 23 (Inter) +1 2008-09 Top 10 (Inter) +1.3 2009-10 HM (Barcelona) +0.5 2010-11 HM (AC Milan) +0.5 2011-12 #5 (AC Milan) +1.4 2012-13 #3 (PSG) +1.6 2013-14 Top 10 (PSG) +1.3 2014-15 HM (PSG) +0.5 2015-16 Top 23 (PSG) +1 2016-17 HM (Manchester United) +0.5 2018 Relevant Level (LA Galaxy) +0.3 2019 Relevant Level (LA Galaxy) +0.3 2019-20 Relevant Level (AC Milan) +0.3 2020-21 Relevant Level (AC Milan) +0.3 I think Ibrahimović is one of the most consistent strikers of all-time, while Kaká, despite his great prime, is limited in this area due to his physical problems. In terms of skills, I must confess that I believe Zlatan is one of the most skillful and technically complete attackers of all-time, proving internationally despite not achieving glory in the UCL. On the other hand, the fact that Kaká won the World Cup seems irrelevant to me since, evidently, he didn't play any relevant role in that conquest. I try to focus everything only on how they played, not on what they won and what they didn't.
He was still a 20-year old in a Brazilian World Cup winning squad - speaks to his quality. Only 8 players have won the Ballon, World Cup and Champions League - that's not nothing. How can a player be considered Top 50 of all time, as you say Zlatan is, when he never even reached the podium of the Ballon D'Or as an active player? He's a Top 50 player of all time but when playing was never considered a Top 3 player in the world? Doesn't compute logically. His whole legacy is predicated on his club performance yet he never even competed in a Champions League final. His Champions League record - 10 goals in 40 knockout stages - is absolutely abysmal. I'm pretty sure CR7 has more goals, significantly so, in just the semi-finals. Compared to every other player in your Top 50 list he seems, from what I can tell from a cursory glance of the players on that list, by far the least accomplished at the highest level. And yes, Messi/CR7 dominated the Top 2 during that time - but again, Kaka still won it then. Other players still cracked the Top 3 then. If you're a Top 50 player of all time, you should be more than able to crack that Top 3, regardless of who the Top 2 were. If the broader footballing world never saw Ibra as a Top 3 player in the world then I simply cannot see how logic dictates he is a Top 50 player of all time.
Specifying my criteria: I couldn't consider any general description data relevant, only how they played (at any age). In that World Cup Kaká only played 25 minutes against Costa Rica without much weight on the scene. I couldn't consider him to receive anything extra for his participation in that tournament and I wouldn't consider it a factor that would favor him in the comparison in any way. On the other hand, as you can see, I've him on my radar that season/year, but because of what he did in the Brasileirão winning the Bola de Ouro despite not reaching the semifinals. That's what I mean by general description data, but which doesn't specify the player's level to establish a comparison of individuals. I should begin by clarifying that I'm not proposing Zlatan in a top 50 of all-time, but rather since 1950 (as specified in the initial description of the exercise). Then, regarding the point that revolves around you demanding that he should have been in the top 3 at some point, actually you can read in my previous answer that, in my opinion, Zlatan was (in 2012-13): 2012-13 1. Messi 2. Cristiano Ronaldo 3. Ibrahimović 4. Ribéry/Iniesta And also in the same sphere in the previous season: 2011-12 1. Messi 2. Cristiano Ronaldo 3. Iniesta 4. Pirlo/Ibrahimović/Falcao/van Persie So, I'd have to say that he seems to have reached an elite level for a podium (he was even 4th in the 2013 Ballon d'Or not only competing there with Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, but also a case supported by group success like that of Ribéry). That said, I don't think it's a mandatory requirement because it does depend a lot on the competitiveness of each season. I also have Seeler and Rivellino in the top 50 and I suppose it would be even more debatable if they made a world podium. His biggest criticism should be his ineffectiveness at UCL in that current popular criteria that mixes group success with which I don't agree. Yes, I do believe there is some reason for some lower performances in the UCL, but it's not directly related to his goal tally or if he never reached a final for me. I must also confess that even when he was only shining in Italy/France (especially in 2008-09, 2011-12 and 2012-13) I saw him as better than some figures in the UCL, while in 2013-14 I couldn't say that he didn't shine there while he played in it (vs. Anderlecht, Benfica, Olympiacos and Leverkusen).
By the way, I know that when there are such long lists it becomes very difficult to process and evaluate them. I had explained at the beginning that I arranged around 1000 players into groups of 50, but I only feel confident with the first 5 (250) and moderately consistent with the first 10 (500), therefore, after that I prefer to just list as mentions.

Thanks for the simple but clear elaboration on that Peru, and also nice work extending with all the HMs! It makes it a long read to browse your positional selections now of course, but shows how much thought and research you put into them. One thing I'd in theory be interested to see is if you had a go at something like this (but don't feel you should just to please me if you don't really want to obviously) - it leans a bit more to the peak criteria I think, but considering a club would always try to buy for the future it could be realistic to factor in (in this case with hindsight based on actual career) a projection of at least 5 or 6 years regarding consistency/longevity (perhaps somewhat ignoring bad luck with injuries though): https://www.bigsoccer.com/threads/bigsoccer-top-250.1695463/page-2#post-39103711 I guess doing it like that changes a bit the balance in top 250 selected (I'm sure otherwise I'd put in mote attacking midfielders and forwards which to an extent would be realistic I guess). If I did it again today I guess I'd change things here and there (not to bias things towards a now included Nottingham Forest though!): probably irrelevant (if you do a version a la this thread considering 1950 onwards - Pedernera would be considered predominantly pre 1950s I'm sure) but I could have started to perceive I'd select Pedernera for a prominent first team place perhaps or that I'd have Antonin Puc among the selected left wingers/forwards now maybe; while at the other end I might be thinking Mbappe should get in for example or be getting close to thinking of Pedri as borderline candidate for some squad even (I think he is a few very good years away from being a name suitable for your main exercise here though probably)....
I understand, as a draft. Indeed, that would balance the role distribution and it would be interesting to see who else would come in (probably more side-backs and defensive midfielders), but I think it would be more substantial exercise to do it collectively. There are: 077 Goalkepers 137 Centre-Backs/Sweepers 044 Right-Backs/Right Wing-backs 033 Left-Backs/Left Wing-backs 046 Defensive Midfielders 128 Central Midfielders 088 Attacking-Midfielders 084 Support Strikers/Trequartistas 070 Right Wingers/Right Wing-Forwards 067 Left Wingers/Left Wing-Forwards 075 Support Strikers/Forwards 163 Strikers A total of 1012 players (one more than in the previous count because I just added Carlo Ancelotti (I forgot him). In any case, I think it makes sense that there is a clear imbalance towards more attacking players because I think offensive skills usually require more complex abilities.
Yeah, I agree and it's true that normally the creative players or prolific scorers tend to cost the highest amounts to buy, albeit some central defenders have been bought for extremely high amounts too and sometimes some of them (including sweeper types) have been near the top of Ballon d'Or votes too, but yes those are exceptions. I guess in theory lots of clubs would have paid good money for a Paolo Maldini also for example, but I don't know the exact details of declined bids by AC Milan at various times or anything like that. Yeah, that kind of 'draft like' exercise does give more of a positional balance (even if I am a little inclined towards AMs etc still, as shown in our actual drafts - but it's kind of natural with all the best ones to select and I think I kept it fairly balanced in that exercise at least); also it's interesting to think of combinations of different players in 'realistic' line-ups and what exact role players might be put in etc (including older players in more modern systems), but like I say don't feel you should do the same if you're not keen on it. I see you have a similar amount of 'support strikers' (over trequartistas and forwards where there can be a subtle difference, and possibly both could be in the same line-up sometimes - one of each) as 'strikers' which is interesting to see, but probably not a surprise I guess anyway.
I regret that the rankings only cover the period after 1950. Perhaps you could consider including players from before 1950 among others? That would be great material for comparison with other top 1000 rankings (both ready and the one @Titanlux is working on). And maybe later to develop a combined user ranking
Yes, separating both roles is somewhat arbitrary/convenient for me just to have a numerical balance; however, positionally it's evident that it mixes players in the same operation area.
In fact, I'm currently calculating a group of 250-300 players before 1950 under the same system. I had to separate them because, no matter how hard I tried, I wasn't comfortable using the same calculation for players who must have been inactive during the war periods, calculation positions for periods when only South America had continuous competition and the period before 1920, when football was almost exclusively played in the British Isles.
I've been updating and trying to refine my assessments. I'm leaving the final result here for any interest/input/correction.
