The ranking below treats “Blue Lock XI” as the Blue Lock Eleven in that match—not the separate New Generation World XI—and is an editorial assessment, not an official canon ranking.
What this ranking covers—and what it cannot establish
“Blue Lock XI” can refer to more than one concept in the series. Here it means the Blue Lock Eleven facing Japan’s U-20 team. Michael Kaiser belongs to the distinct New Generation World XI, as the official anime character profiles describe him; he is not part of this matchday ranking.

The sources available for this article do not establish a complete primary-source starting lineup or a player-by-player match record. Kodansha’s volume 17 synopsis confirms that Isagi, Rin, and Barou appear in the second-half account of the Blue Lock Eleven versus U-20 match, while the official Weekly Shonen Magazine series page supplies character descriptions and some position labels. That is not enough to verify every starter and contribution. To avoid presenting guesses as canon, this list ranks only the three players directly named in the match-specific publisher synopsis; it is not a complete ranking of every starter.
Ranked players named in the match-specific source
1. Yoichi Isagi
Isagi takes the top spot for the match-defining outcome: the official anime profile states that he scored the decisive goal against Japan’s U-20 team. That makes his contribution the clearest documented basis for ranking any player in this group.

2. Rin Itoshi
Rin is named in Kodansha’s volume 17 synopsis for the second-half story. That establishes his presence in the match account, but the sources cited here do not provide a comparable player-by-player record from which to measure his contribution against Isagi’s decisive goal. His placement is therefore an editorial judgment, not a claim that the manga or anime publishes this order.
3. Barou
Barou is also named in Kodansha’s synopsis of the second half. The source supports including him among the players relevant to the match story, but does not establish a complete contribution record or an official comparative standing. His position here is likewise an editorial assessment.
Rank #2
Why this is not an official ladder
The cited official and publisher material establishes a decisive goal for Isagi and identifies the match context for Isagi, Rin, and Barou; it does not prescribe a ranking of the Blue Lock Eleven. A community poll is a separate measure of fan preference, not proof of match performance or canon hierarchy. VAINKEURZ describes its list as a worldwide ranking generated through voting duels; its displayed leaders are Seishiro Nagi, Yoichi Isagi, and Rin Itoshi. Those results reflect audience votes, not an official matchday XI or a match-impact ranking: VAINKEURZ Blue Lock poll.
