Top 3 Football Players In The World

 How football players are ranked?

The best football player of a certain year is selected by the captains and coaches of different football teams around the globe. This system is based on positional voting. Each coach has three votes with every vote having 5 points. Winners are numbered on the bases of total number of points they gain.

Football is considered as the best sport in the world. When it comes to football, millions of players are trained every year to become the best in their field. There are many football players who have gained sufficient fame on the international arena. Among those are of course the best ones also.  Sometimes it becomes hard to figure out the top players except top 2 or three who have maintained their position in every listing. In spite of giving a single rough list i will rather prefer to give multiple listings, so that readers could differentiate the variations by their own experiences.
