Best Football (Soccer) Players of 2015

The Top Ten
1 Lionel Messi Lionel Andrés "Leo" Messi (born 24 June 1987) is an Argentine professional footballer who plays as a forward for Spanish club Barcelona. He is also known as one of the greatest football players of all time. He was born in Rosario, Argentina on June 24th, 1987.

"Don't write about him, don't try to describe him, just watch him"- Pep Guardiola
The guy is absolutely mental. He's the best dribbler in the world no doubt, and he doesn't even need to do fancy flicks and tricks! He is so skilled with the ball, he basically sprints 30+ km/h with a ball glued to his feet. That goal he scored against Bilbao in the Copa finals, absolutely mental. He broke every pair of ankles in the Basque country. Or when he made Jerome Boateng fall on the ground with the simplest of body feints! Absolutely crazy. Ronaldo may have scored more goals than Messi, but Messi helped his team to a historic treble, did Ronaldo? Dissapointing Copa America with Argentina he's had (so far), but let the lion rest, for he will be back!

Messi is undoubtedly out of this world. He has talents that Ronaldo doesn't have, for example the passing and the dribbling. His style of play is totally different than other players like Ronaldo, robben, Neymar,Suarez and Gareth bale.
Messi has everything, he is the complete player. Sure he doesn't have a body like Ronaldo or a hairstyle like Ronaldo or swag or the height but you don't anything like that to be the best

Everyone has their opinions But in my eyes Messi is the best.

Messi is problem solver and the greatest player ever he proved it on MAY 6 2015 against BAYERN MUNICH when he passed Jerome Boating as if he did not exist and he holds the most records at Barcelona and he is well mannered he is capable of extraordinary things as for Ronaldo he counts on Isco,Toni Kroos,Modric,benzema,bale Ronaldo is not capable of individual brilliance Messi is gifted but Ronaldo depends on his creative players Messi is the greatest player in the history of soccer and a legend of soccer he inspires billions to play and watch soccer # Messi 10 FCB ARG GREATEST EVER!.

His so cool at dribbling and so fast. It is fascinating to watch him. He certainly is the best player in the world. Without him, Barcelona would not be so good even though they have got Suarez and Neymar. I support him and in the future I think he will always shine in football.

2 Cristiano Ronaldo Cristiano Ronaldo dos Santos Aveiro (born 5 February 1985) is a Portuguese professional footballer who plays as a forward for Serie A club Juventus and captains the Portugal national team.

Pace, dribbling, goal scoring abilities, headers, jumping, assists, free kick expert, penalty expert, body, physical, strong etc... all you could ask for in a striker/winger. Messi has been in la liga pretty much his whole life and Cristiano hasn't. Ronaldo has accomplished a lot of thing during that short period of time he's been at Real Madrid. As of Messi, it has taken him forever.

Cristiano Ronaldo is the best. They tested Ronaldo, why, to know how he is the best player in the world, Barca only won real Madrid because he gave barca a chance. Barcelona only bought these three good players only because they know that they are weak, and Messi cannot strengthen the club. But real Madrid only have Ronaldo and Bale and they cannot stop scoring. So, in that logic, Ronaldo is better than Messi and Real Madrid is better than Barcelona. ☺

The only reason people think Messi is better than Ronaldo is because Messi has been the best before Ronaldo came along and people have got it stuck it in their heads that Messi is the best, and because Argentina have won the world cup a lot more than Portugal where Ronaldo is, and won the spannish league more Ronaldo IS 1 nit 2

Ronaldo is the best player in the world than Messi Ronaldo is good in all aspect as long football is concern Ronaldo wath the ballo don ever season is the best player in the world and is also am goal scorer machine I love you Ronaldo... jackson sremmurd speaking check me out on Facebook then I will give you more about Ronaldo

3 Neymar Neymar da Silva Santos Júnior, born 5 February 1992, commonly known as Neymar or Neymar Jr., is a Brazilian professional footballer who plays for Ligue 1 club Paris Saint Germain (PSG) and the Brazil national team as a forward or winger, and is also the captain of the national team. Neymar was born on 5th February 1992 in Sao Paulo of Brazil. He started playing international matches at the age of 17. Neymar salary is 9.18 million Euro. As a result, his net worth is about $75 million.

Neymar is only 23 but still holds a strong position in Brazil as captain which is incredible he is also one of the top five top scorers of Brazil imagine all the goals he is going to make in the future with his countries shirt in the World Cup he has lead Brazil high until his injury against Colombia which was the end for Brazil as they lost the World Cup against Germany 7-1 he has been essential to Brazil and Barcelona with the trio of Leo Messi and Luis Suarez the three of them have been unstoppable now Neymar is the top scorer for la liga he has amazing skills dribbling good for penalties free kicks and has a good chance of scoring in a recent game Barca against Rayo with Messi out of the field for knee injury Neymar has to be the man that represents Barca which in this case he did what he had to do and more he scored 4 goals 2 penalty and 2 amazing goals sealing his first hat trick for the season and a goal from asistant Luis Suarez which Neymar returned the favor leading ...more

Neymar has got brilliant skills and tricks he has got great control with the ball. He is a magnificent goal score he has got over 200 goals in his career. For Brazil he has scored 150 goals. It would be one of the best days of my life to meet Neymar jr. Neymar is better than Ronaldo at skills and tricks, dribbling, shots and ball control. Neymar is my most favorite soccer player in the universe I look up to Neymar as a soccer player. Neymar is 23 years old and he is brilliant at playing soccer.

Neymar is now 23. He has been nominated for FIFA BALLON DOR. This year he has a tough competition with Ronaldo and Messi. He didn't reach the level of them but one day he will became the worlds best player. He made a record in the UEFA Champions League to make FCB win. In the first leg semi final he scored FCB 3rd goal in second leg semi final he scored FCB 2 goal. In final he scored FCB 3rd goal. Neymar has a total package in his body. Power, stamina, skill, strategy and many more... Neymar is a very very best player..

I think that Neymar is a chosen player. He has the right movement with his feet he always has control of the ball. Neymar isn't just like any player Neymar makes tricks and discover them and do it on the field. Neymar is no doubt the worlds best skillet of all time. Neymar is 24 is he is regarded to be the 3rd World best and known that he will be the future pele. Messi, pele,Ronaldo,Ronaldinho said that he will be worlds best

4 Luis Suarez Luis Alberto Suárez Díaz (born 24 January 1987) is a Uruguayan professional footballer who plays for Spanish club Atletico Madrid and the Uruguay national team as a striker.

Suarez is low on the list because he used to be a vampire and wasn't amazing anyway.But now I can see how he has been getting better and doesn't bite any more.In FIFA he went from and 80-85 rating to a 90 rating.

What makes him different from all other players in the list is that he is a leader player, always playing for team and not selfish.

What Messi and naymer doing before suarez joins them? Suarez makes them work too. Like he made Liverpool team work too... Best Player in the world Right now

You are absolute beast better than pele everyone needs to understand that the things he does is incredible

5 Zlatan Ibrahimovic Zlatan Ibrahimović (3 October 1981) is a Swedish professional footballer who plays for an Italian club AC Milan and the Sweden national team for which he is captain.

Ahh. Definitely expected him in the top 5. He may not be fast, but he's all about POWER. He's like the LeBron of soccer, no one can really stop his shooting abilities. Much respect for Messi, Ronaldo, Suarez, and Neymar as they hit the top 5 as well.

Definitely one of the best strikers in world football he might be getting on abit in age but he's proved himself along the years to be one of the best with winning so many league titles and plenty more to come he deserves to be in the top ten

Definitely better than Bale. Zlatan Ibrahimovic is a world class player who is very acrobatic and has been a legend in Milan, Inter, Barca, PSG and so on. He's been making history for more than a decade. Compare that to Bale

The best is Messi then neymar then Suarez then ibrahamovic then iniesta cavani silver in Paris Saint German then aguero hazard xavi

6 Gareth Bale Gareth Frank Bale is a retired Welsh professional footballer who played as a winger for English club Tottenham Hotspur and the Wales national team.

Neymar Messi and Ronaldo all come from countries where football/soccer is popular while bale came from Wales where everyone only cares about rugby so bale has had to overcome that and train harder than anyone to be one of the worlds best

Bale is better than stupid neymar. Neymar hair is a mess and he has. No chance against bale aka the flash

Bale is very very fast and he was the best premier league player when he was a tottenham

Bale is better than neymar! Is my favourite player, does assists from now were, and is exellent at running and kiking at the same time!

7 Arjen Robben

He is an amazing player in midfield, striking, winger, he can play in any position! He is always there to create or finish brilliant opportunities! He is one of the reasons that Bayern is the best in the world (other is Neuer)

Noobs like Ronaldo and Messi. They are good players, yes but... Robben is the BEST. His pace, passing and dribbling is exceptional. He isn't best player in the world, he's from another world.

He is very fast skillful and has great finishing should be in top five for me he has the potential of being a great soccer player, and he is

I am Hispanic and I am being honest that he is great player in my opinion. When I saw the thing in the world cup,I don't yell or wear shirts like Mexico did. It is part of soccer.

8 Eden Hazard Eden Michael Hazard, born January 7th, 1991, is a Belgian professional footballer who plays for Real Madrid CF and captains the Belgium national team.

He is the best player because he has the best dribbling skills and can dribble pass any defender, also he has won player of the year award 2015

He is the best because he has the talent and ability and he is respect and also he has won player of the year 2016

He will be at the top besides he has the talent to dribble in tight space and open space how amazing

No he didn't that hasn't come out yet you retard! Also 2014 went to Ronaldo, Hazard didn't even get close

9 Kaka Ricardo Izecson dos Santos Leite, commonly known as Kaká or Ricardo Kaká, is a retired Brazilian professional footballer who played as an attacking midfielder for Orlando City SC in Major League Soccer and the Brazil national team .

That is wrong just wrong. He is pooh and he should NOT be even in the top 50.

Should not even be in the top 150! He is too old to be a good footballer.

For Being on an MLS team he is amazing He Does Exceptionally well for Orlando City

Best players also provide Brazil with various goals wow!

10 James Rodriguez

He deserves to be the best player of the year.

A player who is injured but when he plays he is on fire

Amazing Colombian youngster and had a fantastic season scoring some of the prettiest goals. Has really high potential. Deserves to be higher.

James Rodriguez is awesome

The Contenders
11 Robert Lewandowski Robert Lewandowski (born 21 August 1988) is a Polish professional footballer who plays as a striker for German club Bayern Munich, and captains the Poland national team.

Anyone ever seen Bayern vs Wolfsburg? He scored 5 GOALS IN 9 MINUTES! Against defense like Dante, Naldo, Rodriguez... WHAT A BEAST! Not only that but he has that amazing style to just, be there and score when he is needed. He is an amazing clinical finisher and deserves to be at least 3rd best player in the world, if not 1st or 2nd. The feats that Lewandowski has accomplished far surpasses that of Ronaldo and Messi!

A good striker and can put away any opportunity. In my opinion he should be a lot higher than this

Lewandowski should a lot higher then this, he is like the best player

Kaka? Hazard? Robben? Bale? It's a Joke? Maybe Ronaldo, Messi, but I'm not sure!

12 Angel Di Maria

I miss him at Manchester United and wish he could show off his true potential but he is an absolute beast at PSG

THAT GUY IS A GAME MAKER... I think he is the best midfielder so far

Amazing MAN UNITED player good assistant he should be best

Best mid-field I've ever seen...

13 Wayne Rooney Wayne Mark Rooney is an English professional footballer who plays for and captains both Manchester United and the England national team.

He fits on Manchester United it's my favourite player

He's an all round amazing player his tecniques are amazing and his setups

Rooney is not really good now. Neither is Man UTD

He is the best the rules the world of soccer

14 Robin van Persie Robin van Persie is a Dutch coach and former professional footballer who played as a striker. Regarded as one of the best strikers of his generation, he is the all-time top scorer for the Netherlands men's national team.

As an Arsenal fan, he sucks. SUCKS

I love his name

He is dead now

The dutchman

15 Toni Kroos Toni Kroos is a German professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Spanish club Real Madrid and the German national team. He plays mainly as a central midfielder, but has also been deployed as a deep-lying playmaker in his career. Known for his vision, passing, creativity, crossing and set-piece ...read more.

I don't NOW MUCH ABOUT HIM BUT I'VE HEARD he's A VERY TALENTED PLAYER

19? He should be in the top 10.

Best playmaker

Good overall

16 Manuel Neuer Manuel Peter Neuer is a German professional footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for Bayern Munich and the Germany national team.

Manuel is completely out of this world. Every time I play with Bayern Munich on my FIFA 16, The apposition doesn't score mare than one goal. He is a champ!

Very quick into action and follows the game to make his great saves. Amazing goalie

Probably my 2nd favorite keeper and is really hard to score against, even the best of players find it hard to score a goal against him.

I think that de gea is a better individual with him being able to read his teammates better

17 Thomas Müller

Extremely unpredictable get a tactical genius. Fantastic player, one of the best

Best player after Messi Ronaldo suarez neymar

Completely underrated

Extremely underrated

18 Radamel Falcao

Falcao doesn't deserve to be in the top 100 in my opinion this year. And he's 20th. No offense guys but Falcao has barely got any goals, has shown a lack of pace and has wasted Manchester United so much money for 6 months! I like him a lot, and I know he's been remarkable in previous years, but I have to say this. Sorry guys!

Falcao is very skilful and is a good striker but is no were near the sort of pace as Bale, Walcott or Sanchez

Has very good skills. Good technique, and one of my favorites.

He's my second fave as a Colombian

19 Diego Costa Diego da Silva Costa, is a Spanish professional footballer who plays as a striker for English club Chelsea and the Spain national team.

I like this guy,he have passion in each and the game,motivate other members of his club and many defender fear him he can score any tym

Get him down to the bottom of the list!

Costa has the skills to pay the bills

Is a skiilfull man and create good goal and he will contribute to the win of a tearm

20 Sergio Agüero Sergio Leonel "Kun" Agüero is an Argentine professional footballer who plays as a striker for Spanish club Barcelona and the Argentina national team.

Should be in the top 5 absolutely unbelievable where he is placed. Is this based on skills or politics!

He better than ibrahimovic a lot better he the best he skillful and his finishes are leaful no one saves them not even neuer.

"He is better than zlatan ibrahimovic because he is young and can grow a lot

You are 15 that is not good that much I am not being horrible to yo itis just because you are 15

21 Philipp Lahm Philipp Lahm is a German professional footballer who plays as a right back or defensive midfielder for Bundesliga club Bayern Munich.

Is not a good footballer

22 Cesc Fabregas

He is better than Falco so he should not be in 21

Greatest player of all time

His passes are one of a kind

Should be in top 10

23 Andres Iniesta Andrés Iniesta Luján is a Spanish professional footballer who plays for FC Barcelona and the Spain national team.

Okay what genius made Iniesta 27th on this dumb list? Iniesta is way better than 23 of the players in front of him. Gotze, Fabregas, Gerard, Courtois, Benteke, Buffon? I mean, come on, Benteke?

What! 68.! Can any of the first 67 players do what Iniesta does with the ball? He is the most skillful player of football history. He is a genius!

Don't tell me that he is not in 10. Such an amazing player to watch.One of the key players of Barcelona.

Iniesta, should be in top 5 in world oh mi god

24 Alvaro Morata

Thanks Juventus bought him or he will keep wasting his talent at Real Madrid

Hey, he should be number 6

25 Mesut Özil Mesut Özil is a German professional footballer who plays as an attacking midfielder for Süper Lig club Fenerbahçe. Nicknamed "The Assist King", Özil is known for his technical skills, creativity, agility, and finesse.

The kindest player to the ball. I would like to see him playing for the same team with Andres Iniesta. They are more than footballers, actually artists. Football is nice to watch thanks to such players.

What!?!?!?! Mesut is all the way down here he should be around 20 or something. one thing I know for sure is he is better than james rodriguez and alexis sanchez. he is the best CDM in the premier league. people say he's overrated but I consider him underrate especially on this list. everyone vote for Ozil!

What? He's at 105? He is potentially the best player in the premier league and is the player that has kept Arsenal going strong

This list is the dumbest I've seen..mesut ozil at 101.. damn..best assister in football history..has more assists than Ronaldo can dream of..
