"The best strikers in the world are the most valuable people in the game. The most difficult thing in football is to score goals so naturally, the best players in the world are going to be the ones who find the net more than your average guy. The transfer market would certainly agree and of course, being a striker isn't just about finishing anymore: you also have to hold up, link play, press, run the channels and bully defenceswhich makes judging the position particularly tough"
"We asked FourFourTwo's esteemed expert panel for their picks of the 10 best players in the world in each position, taking into account form over the past 12-18 months, as well as technical ability and recent standing in the game. Points were assigned to centre-forwards from 10 to one based on the experts' rankings, before minimal additional points were awarded for statistical metrics, such as successful take-ons, shot-creating actions, and, well goals, and goals per 90 minutes."
Expert rankings identify the world's top centre-forwards based on recent form, technical ability and standing. Points were allocated from 10 to one via expert rankings, with minimal extra points for statistical metrics including successful take-ons, shot-creating actions, goals and goals per 90 minutes. Forty players were nominated, with positional judgements made about whether to list players as centre-forwards or as right- or left-wingers. Separate compilations cover goalkeepers, defenders (right-backs, centre-backs, left-backs) and midfielders (defensive, central and attacking). Jonathan Burkardt, aged 25, has started well at Eintracht Frankfurt after biding his time at Mainz and following Hugo Ekitike as the club's focal point.
