The old rating system isn't in play anymore, so you might as well try not to compare this year to the past. The current rating system takes into account a lot more playing styles and is more dynamic.
Yes, the top 20 are bunched together and highly rated, but at least most if not all players are being edited and corrected. Something we didn't see at all in the past, plus specialists and role players are more accurately represented this year.
