[IranPowned]

Aaron Mooy? Who the hell is that

[forzatm]

No Milad Mohammadi? This list seems incompetent as usual. With all due respect to Gucci, Ansarifard and Rezaei should be ranked higher than him. Random Arab and Chinese players made it to the top 20 too.

[The]

Ghooch over Kaveh?
Karim over Kaveh?
No Milmo?

WTF? WTF? WHAT THE FUCK?

[PrinceAli]

Saeid is definitely not that low..

[Tehranto]

These top 50 Asian lists from bloggers and magazines are so adrift - it's clear no one watches the matches. Oftentimes, Team Melli players - the best team and talents in Asia - get screwed in them because they want to satisfy the Aussies, Japanese, Koreans and Chinese - and Emirates.

- Son is number 1
- ARJ is number 2
- Sardar still top 5
- The other Omar's (Syrian) are not better than Taremi.
- Get OAR out of the top 20.

conclusion, you play for crappy teams like huddersfield is better than AZ i agree AJ should be 2nd, but in a year or two he will be the best asian player

Huudersfield is a team in the world's best league and he is playing regularly there.
Dutch league is not even top 7. But given his excellent performance he has a case for being 2nd.

lolol i would take huddersfield over AZ any day. Playing against EPL talents doesn't even compare no matter what team it is.

[kastro]

Lol no Saudis in top 20.

[AryaGod]

salah doesnt count as asian im guessing? what was their criteria

[DR Strangemoosh]

LOLLLL what the hell?

[Kian Persepolis]

Salah doesn't count as Asian by ANY criteria

[teammelli91]

Not a bad ranking but not a good ranking either. Ali Jahanbakhsh should be ranked 2nd imho.

[ramingeles2000]

how far we've come. this list doesn't even include Ghoddos, Dejagah, Shojaei or Hajsafi...or MilMo...we have 11(?) rotation players in Europe. What a time to be alive.
