Good list. All this player do not match Lionel Messi. EPL is so poor that majority of the listed best players have not won the world best.

The above said Yao never won Lillle player of d year once,Neymar is talent on his own but Europe his on a Higher level than South American league.
Neymar was 10th best in the world at just 18yrs of age, he is presently 22 and already got 50 goals for Brazil. Check Neymar's stats at Barca then you will understand why he is better than Hazard.

morbid:
If Papilo is not there,then there is no list. Imagine where they have put C. Ronaldo?? Has any other present or former EPL player won the FIFA World Best award?? It's even remaining only one goal for Ronaldo to equal Raul's record of all-time Champions' League highest goal scorer. Just because Ronaldo is not an English player,that's why they relegated him to 6th position. Nonsense!!!

British newspaper Telegraph has unveiled a list of the top 100 players in the last 28 years, on the
proviso that the nominated players must have graced the English Premier League since its
inception.

On the 93rd position is retired Nigeria international Jay Jay Okocha, who played for Bolton
Wanderers from 2002 - 2006.

The editors said about the former PSG and Fenerbahce maestro : “The Nigerian international was
one of many eye-catching signings made by Sam Allardyce at Bolton in 2002 and he instantly
became a fans’ favourite.”

“Bolton went from perennial relegation battlers to European football during his four years there,
with Okocha giving the lie to the perception that Wanderers relied on brute force to succeed.

“As Bolton fans put it in one of their chants, he was “so good they named him twice.”

Austin Okocha scored 14 goals in 124 appearances for Bolton Wanderers, and the highlight of his
stay at the Macron Stadium was inspiring the side to the final of the 2004 League Cup.

Football experts Henry Winter, Alan Smith, Jason Burt, Mark Ogden and Jeremy Wilson were
among the panelists that drew up the list

If our most decorated footballer that played his best career games while at Arsenal FC and also a member of the elite Invincibles, Kanu Nwankwo's name can be missing on the list, I doubt the credibility of the author, seems he is a PDP member!

No KANU, no Elhaj Diouf, no Van der saar, Mark Viduka, no Essen, Gud Johnson, Alex Song, London Donovan, Tim Cahill, Steven Pinaar....
