Fourfourtwo magazine's top 50 Asian players 2017

Hahahaha, they have as many Thais as Iranians in that list? Laughing my ass off. And Tingle Tangle Bob, who will not even get close to any major footballing event in his life, is the best, yeah, sure.

I think it might have something to do with the man in charge of Fourfourtwo, currently working very hard on the thai version of the website and wants to kiss some ass I guess, I say this because a friend of mine was recently offered a job there to expand their activities and info in Thailand, haha.

This should be the list:
1. Son
2. Okazaki
3. Azmoun
4. Kagawa
5. Reza Gucci

10. Omar Abdurahman
Just ignore this biased list. I searched around and many Korean, Australian and Japanese fans were laughing at this list. Do not take this Magazine/Website serious any longer.

How did Azmoun have a better overall season than Reza Gucci? I agree the latter should end up in top 5 though.

^ Compare the goals Azmoun scored vs the teams and Reza as well. Eredivisie teams lower than mid-table are Micky Mouse level.

Gucci was one of the top scorers in Eredivisie with 20 goals. He's above Eredivisie. I could see him play regularly in an above mid-table team in Bundesliga or Serie A. Considering his lack of consistency, I can not say the same about Azmoun.

Bit of a joke to have Al-Habsi there when you have other Asian players who were much better GK's this season.

Off the top of my head I would say Brad Jones. He was in the eredivise team of the season with his 17 clean sheets to help Feyenoord to their first title in 18 years.
