Agree with pretty much everything. But just can't have a gk in the top 10. No matter how good he is, even if he has a Ballon d'or like Yashin

It's not just a keeper, it's Yashin. The fact that he is the Greatest in his position universally, even when the likes of Buffon, Banks, Neuer, Zoff, Schmeichel, etc exists; makes me go for him. The next one is R9 btw.
