The Guardian's list of the top 100 footballers from 2014

Reasonably solid list, though there's a few things I disagree with.

- Angel Di Maria should not be ranked above Alexis Sanchez and Eden Hazard.
- Fabregas is much lower than he should be (#36). I'd have Fabregas above Iniesta (#28), Alonso (#21) and several of the other central midfielders that are ranked above him.
- Jack Wilshere has somehow made the list, which leads me to believe he must have paid one of the writers.

Aside from that, I agree with the list for the most part.

- Zlatan shouldn't be 13th, he should be in the 30's
- Fabregas should be higher
- Rooney should be lower
- Van Persie should be massively lower
- Sterling higher
- Jack Wilshere :lol
- Aguero should be above Neymar
- No Emile Heskey?????
I agree with the top 5 though

I was disgusted when I saw his exclusion. It's ruined the credibility of the Guardian as a newspaper.
