    If Messi and Ronaldo are considered as strikers then its Xavi for me with Iniesta just behind him, its a joy to watch them 2 run a game of football

    they are second strikers, wingers, playmakers, all-rounders, defensive-mids etc.

    i'd pick Messi, C.Ronaldo, Xavi, Gerrard, Essien for each type

    Since Messi and CR are forward players in my point of view, then I choose Andres Iniesta. He's absolutely fantastic.

    Messi is still the best midfielder in the world, even if he's not always played in that position.

    Gerrard, Messi and Ronaldo aren't midfielders.

    Iniesta wins it easily anyway.

    If we're talking midfielder as in a person who plays predominantly in the middle section of the pitch then Steven Gerrard for me -

    Wouldn't call Kaka, Messi or Ronaldo either midfielders or strikers - just floating genius'

    Stevie G. In my opinion, best midfield pairing would be Xavi and Iniesta, but I think they would be better working together other than playing in different teams separated. They are fantastic in Barca, but I think that's because they've adjusted to tempo of the game there and are playing for a long time now. Gerrard is somehow all-team player, put him whenever you want, Spain, England, anywhere and he'd stil be great. Can't say that for sure because we've never seen him elsewhere, but I reckong he'd manage to control midfield anywhere.
