I appreciate the term 'world-class' is a subjective term but who would you consider as wc in the BPL? For me, Man City have Toure, Silva and Aguero. Chelsea have Matic and possibly Hazard (although maybe a bit young and inconsistent to be considered world class) . Arsenal have one or two maybes? We haven't had anyone of that standard since Suarez left. Anyone else?

Kompany is in my eyes. Ozil can be, but so can couts. As you said, is very subjective, but I believe if they can single handendly win games, then they should count. Suarez, messi, Ronaldo and maybe Neymar now, are next level.

Sounds like you just started watching football this season Jay if you would consider De Bruyne, Mahrez and Costa world class. As I said, the term is subjective but it's got nothing to do with Player of the Season awards. Yaya Toure was quite rightly the first world class player that came to mind.

Aguero, Sanchez, De gea, chech and coutois I reckon that's the prems lot in terms of world class. An by world class I reckon that means walk into the majority of top teams in Europe!

De Gea, Willian, Lloris, Kompany and Coutinho.

Chelsea and United have world class goal keepers to add to your list.
Our team is average, Coutinho is our best player and he's 3 seasons off being world class where we'll probably sell him anyway as is the norm.

World class players for me are players who would get in a world XI:

Aguero
Sanchez
Kompany.

Players who could influence / Change the outcome of a match single handedly are called World class

1. Chelsea - Matic / Hazard

2. Arsenal - Sanchez / Carzola

3 City - Aguero / Silva

4. UTD - De Gea

5. Liverpool - None.

Depends how you define it, but going off the gets into world XI. then de Gea. maybe courtois.

As for Sanchez or aguero think they are behind saurez, ronaldo, messi and neymar are above them. maybe zlatan as well (hard to judge as plays in a dominate team in a weak league) .

Midfield wise iniesta, xavi, alonso, Vidal, Modric, reus. etc and don't think any defender has done the league proud this season!

Actually completely forgot about neur. don't think any BPL player would make the world XI.

Think Annie, Yaya Toure and Matic have both been poor this season, tho they were both excellent the season before, sad to say that our great team does not have any world class players, and that is why we are in 9th,
I just hope that we do sign one or even two players of that class, and can then include them in your list .

Aguero would get into any team. Aguero, Messi, Suarez and Ronaldo are the 4 best players in the world IMO.

i think you guys severely over rate aguero, just like sturridge he isn't half the time available, when he is he is great but so is sturridge, mancity struggle whenever he gets injured and it takes time for the next striker to blend in and get them going again. happened last season is happening this season too. they have an all out great team so they still land in top4 but i think with their quality they should be romping to the title every year but they don't because aguero isn't available. aguero is top player but to be world class you have to be superfit too, just my thoughts.
also suarez is a higher level to aguero. suarez is in the messi ronaldo league and just that his bad history brings him down. Luis suarez is wc, aguero is good, but his fitness is questionable. another player is zlatan everyone missed he is WC. for me another world class player in epl is hugo lloris, an excellent keeper.

Appreciate your point redforever but Yaya is still world-class for me. Totti, Pirlo, Gerrard, Ronaldhino, all played with reduced powers in their 30s but had fully earned the right to be described as world-class. The same for Yaya Toure.
I can only think of Gerrard, Suarez and Torres (Mk I) as world-class Liverpool players in the past 5 years. Sadly, I think this is the first time since I started following Liverpool in 1977 that I cannot say we have a world-class player in our team.

{Ed001's Note - surely a world class player has to actually try more than one game a season? In which case Yaya has and will never be world class. He is more often a liability than he is a help to Citeh.}

World Class! An overused statement. The Premier league have plenty of top top players but world class, no. In my opinion that belongs to Suarez, Messi and at the moment Ronaldo, that's it. Aguero, Silva, Sanchez, De Gea are all really great footballers but they wouldn't lace the top 3 players boots.

Messi and ronaldo are the only 2 world class players at te minute, they've been doing it consistently for the last 5-6 years, And maybe suarez and Neymar for the last 2-3 seasons, and ibrahimovic has flashes when he feels like throwin a shift in.
