			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Footballing World’s list of the finest fifty footballers from the last season is based on all football since June last year, including the World Cup; anyone who played professional football in that period is eligible, but all those included play in either South America or Europe. We welcome all debate on the list - clearly, it would be impossible to satisfy everyone, and there are a number of inclusions and omissions you will disagree with, but that is one of the joys of compiling such a list.</p>

<p>It is impossible to create this list without some basic criteria and these are:<br />
consistency of perform<strong> </strong>ance; importance to their side(s); impact (whether winning trophies or helping to prevent relegation); performances in the biggest games; and footballing charisma.<br />
