Known for under criterion 4 a continental Player of the Year is the highest honour any Syrian has ever earned, and he pairs it with the Golden Boot of Asia's premier club competition. Leaving him out while carrying eleven players rated 74-77 on caps alone is the single clearest error in this roster. Biggest achievements: 2017 AFC Player of the Year, the first and so far only Syrian to win it; top scorer of the 2017 AFC Champions League with 10 goals and a runner-up medal with Al-Hilal; Saudi Pro League titles with Al-Hilal; first Syrian to play in the FIFA Club World Cup; 10 goals in 2018 World Cup qualifying including the brace that beat Qatar.
