Nottingham Forest duo feature in top 50 ranked players outside the Premier League

The annual FourFourTwo list of the top 50 players outside the Premier League for the current campaign has been published.

Out of the 50 names, 32 of those are voted for by supporters. But it will come as no surprise for Nottingham Forest fans to see academy graduate Brennan Johnson (4th) and loanee Djed Spence (12th) included in the list.

To decide the top 50 from outside the Premier League, the publication asks for supporters to choose the best performers in their team's division but not at their own club. They also have to hand out points according to the rank they gave them.
