Probably a bit biased towards Cullen and Bielik because of last season, but I can't remember that many better central midfield players in the past few seasons for us.
Diarra is in the Di Canio/Costa level of player to put on a charlton shirt for me. 44 games and a World Cup team captain in amongst some real average shite. Add in the ridiculous goal against Millwall and you’re in dream land.
Stephens was woefully under rated when he was at Charlton, player of the highest quality in the promotion season, kept us ticking, wonderful passer of the ball, and then stepped it up in the Championship.
Also played the pass of the decade for Jackson’s goal at Rochdale

He was pretty average in the promotion season. A good player yes, but he hardly stood out
I think the Sky team is a good call: for keeper I'd probably go with Phillips - his kicking needs improvement but I think he's kept us in so many games and Ben Hamer seems so long ago . Henderson was good for us as well, despite being hung out to dry he saved every penalty against us that season. Can't argue with Solly being there; Wiggins is definitely the best LB we've had this decade. Bauer deserves it for his solid performances and that crucial goal. Gomez has obviously done far better since he left us so there's an argument for Morrison. I think midfield has a lot more options - Buyens with his 100% penalty record, Stephens, Cullen and Bielik all in with a shout. Front two - no argument. I was fond of BWP, but no one has come close to either Yann or Lyle.
You can almost make 2 different lists, the best players who've played a reasonable number of games during the decade, which rewards longer service and consistency, and the most talented players which is those who looked really good, got flogged and went on to better things or were only here for a short time...

Diarra has to be included, few players in a Charlton shirt have ever exuded class quite like that man, and scoring against Millwall always helps.
