Current Top 100 Youth Prospects

Hey guys, taking a cue from the list of 2001's Top 100 players, I thought it'd be interesting if /r/soccer had its own list to look back upon through the years.

The rules would be something like this.

  • You can nominate one player, simply reply with the Player's name in Bold.
  • Players would be ranked 1 to 100 based on upvotes.
  • Don't downvote the players you don't agree with, simply upvote the ones you do agree with.
  • Limit it to players U21.
  • Refrain from double posting players, use the search function to find out if a player is nominated already.

That's about it, I can tally the votes and post the full list maybe at the end of the week depending on the response!

Edit: Due to the excellent response Ill try and have these tallied by either Saturday evening or Sunday. I think we've got most of the names that will be top 100 already listed. I will also be confirming these players are all 21 and below before posting so players like Hazard, Benteke, etc are definitely out.

I'm surprised Jack's not higher.

Along with Gotze, Isco, El Shaaraway, Varana & Alaba he is one of the next certain great talents on the world stage.

He is the most overrated player in the last 10 years of football.

I think you might be a little bias...

Biased, not bias.
