Here are the updated rankings after the 2009-10 rankings. I'll maybe
explain the steps of the computation later (anyway, they're the same
I've previously described in this thread, just with a little more

They are the two highest midfielders in my ranking... and they too are

Also the best three player of the season according to Goal.com, even
if there Milito is ahead of Messi:
http://www.goal.com/en/news/3171/goalcom-season-awards-2009-10/2010/05/26/1941596/goalcom-end-of-season-awards-2009-10

2nd and 3rd (after Xavi) in the midfielder ranking (see link above).
