Once these threads seem to have run their course, we can see what the Caf consensuses are.


There’s a thread for each position as well as one for managers. Please check those out, too.


And yes, football didn’t just arbitrarily start in 1992, but this is for the Premier League era. Perhaps in future we can do a pre-PL era consensus and after that an all-inclusive one.
 
Yeah, 10 days per thread would have allowed for better discussions tbh.
 
25 is too many. Is that specific number out of need?
 
If you don't make threads for all other leagues and all other eras (at the same time), I think that I won't vote.
 
feck 25. In no order whatsoever.

Adams
Rio
Bruce
Terry
Vidic
Stam
Kompany
Campbell
Pallister
Carvalho

Rio is the standout. Not a lot separating 2-8 and obviously a lot of weight provided to peak form given McGrath's placing.
