Omar Abdulrahman is talented, so I won't really complain about him.
I am more upset why Milad Mohammadi, Saeed Ezzatollahi, and Beiranvand aren't on the list
Ansarifard should be higher and Taremi should be lower tbh

I was more wondering why Ansarifard is ranked higher than our other players?

[BacheLot]

sardar n omar need to swap spots
milad deserves top 25 at least, but he burst in the asian football scene late so perhaps thats why ?

lol @ taremi's pic..!! dumbasses

[PersianBoy9]

Son should be first.
Okazaki should be second.
Sardar should be third.
Omar should be Fourth.


Omar is an amazing player but 442 has to realize that Omar doesnt play in a competitive league like Son and Sardar.

I would only put Okazaki ahead of Sardar because he is slightly better and has more experience.

Karim deserves to be in Top 20. Im surprised they didnt put Milmo in there.

Other than that, everything else is fine.

[naderb94]

Lmao 442 needs to google Mehdi Taremi and use an actual photo rather than Soroosh lol

[Iranianarsenal11]

LOLOL there were like 3 thailand players in front of Karim… Thats when you know this list is a joke. I mean, forget about arabs but really? Players from Thailand??

[Mr Pouya]

Okazaki does not deserve to be in the top 10. He has no where near the talent that requires to be that high up, he's just a workhorse basically.

Also Abdulrahman being number 1 is a joke, he maybe talented but dude plays in the gutter league of UAE and is already 25 with no real interest from Europe. Completely unproven.

[Camran khan]

This list is a joke.

Omar Abdulrahman #1!?

Ahmed Khalil and some Chinese players ahead of Jahanbakhsh!?!?

[Camran khan]

Oh, and btw, to show you home sh!t this list is, this is their picture of 'Taremi'.

[Taz]

1. Heung-Min Son
2. Heung-Min Son after 10 beers
3-50. The rest

[The-Iron-Ghost]

Omar number one is just wrong after what Son did this year and even at Leverkusen,

20 JAMES TROISI - he shouldn't even be in the top 50, hes not even Melbournes best player, how he is way ahead of Karim is a joke.

[KC McElroy]

Are we still considering arogh an actual country? I thought that place fell apart a few years back.

[teammelli91]

Mehdi Taremi with the photo of Soroush Rafiei.

[YeCheesi Tala]

I'm about to throw up...the bias and lack of research in this list is sickening.

One of the best LB in Asia is not even listed.
