Suarez must be up there as well, misdemeanors aside.
I agree though, the best players are generally not in England just now. I would stilll say it's the best league overall, though.
edit: although I don't think Kompany's had his best season this year - still think he's a quality defender tho!

They're all quality but when it comes to the either/or of picking eleven players I'd struggle to justify starting Kompany over, say, Hummels or Chielini. Is Kompany even the best central defender in the Prem? (Vidic?). And as much as I think Suarez is great, if we think of him as a forward, would he realistically start over Messi, Falcao, Mandzukic, Neymar (arguably) or even Zlatan? And again, is Suarez even the best forward in the Prem? I'd give that to Van Persie (although they're very different players). Bale probably has the best chance on the left wing. Ronaldo's better there but is more naturally suited to the right so given you could play both, Bale's in for me. Before this season I'd have maybe put Hart in goal but even he's going through a dip in form at the moment, so I'd probably go with Neuer (even though my heart would prefer Buffon over either).
For all that, I also prefer the Prem overall, even if there are clearly better players and teams elsewhere.
