    Don't see anything too dramatic in the top 20 anyway; rightly dominated by the top 2 with deserved mentions for the likes or Spurs, United and Chelsea.

    No sign of Coleman, Ashley Barnes 53rd...I guess they mean best 101 over the last month or 2...

    Best 101 players over the last 5 league games.

    What a weird time to put that together - Pukki has played 5 games at this level, how can we judge where he should be in the list? Same for Tammy Abraham, Sebastian Haller - both have started very strongly but how can you make any sort of judgement on such a small sample size?

    Not a huge amount that stands out as particurly silly, though, other than the inclusion of people who have barely played PL football. They may all deserve their spot by the end of the season but how can anyone make that call yet?

    Any glaring omissions that anyone has spotted?

    I didn't notice any major things I'd change - the top 20 probably are the league's best 20, even if not everyone will agree with the order.

    I don't think anyone would disagree that Kante is in the top 10 players in the league but he has only played 1 and bit games this season.


    So for me he wouldn't be in in that list in the top 10 after 5 games when you put in all the players who actually played all 5 games.

    They must be desperate for attention while everyone is switching focus to the Rugby World Cup.

    How is Bernardo Silva outside the top 10? Even the most hardened Liverpool/United fans can admit he walks into the top 10.

    I'd have Bernardo in the top ten and drop Laporte out, I'd say.

    Top ten of Mane, Salah, Van Dijk, Firmino, Aguero, de Bruyne, Bernardo, Sterling, Kane, Kante seems about right. Obviously you could argue about the order for hours so I won't bother....

    Gutter journalism? Really?

    Harmless opinion I'd say. Skip it if you want but it's hardly ****ing gutter journalism like the Sun handling Ben Stokes, Gareth Thomas, etc.

    If we're talking about the last 18 months - Kane shouldn't be top 10- maybe not even top 15.

    His output is pretty much average for the Premier League currently.

    5 of his last 20 goals were pens.

    Injuries have caught up with him

    14 goals in 18 internationals since the start of 2018. I'd love an injured striker like him togging out for Ireland...
