4-4-2 has produced a list of the Top 50 players outside of the Premiership with very dodgy results. No City players were included in the list and only a mere handful of League 2 players made the list.

As you can see from the list below, it doesn't include any City players. Lincoln players very rarely get in any lists of any kind. No City players have been announced in either of the "Divisional XI" of the past 2 seasons under Keith Alexander despite two playoff campaigns. 

Very few League 2 players are selected with the highest placed being Swansea's Lee Trundle and any regular reader knows my opinion of him.
