This is for European players only right?

"Going to the very top" - eh.

"Weirdly long head" - I gotta check that shit out.

No Julio Enciso?

I've got Alejandro Balde playing for my team in FM (Bekescsaba, in 2031). Absolute legend that guy.

Then the grammatically correct sentence is ‘to go back to his native country’

Nice to see Arnau Martínez get recognition, he’s really, really good.

Asked a big salary that Barca weren’t willing to give. Also at that time looked like his development stagnated a bit, he was very highly rated since he was very young but in the final years other players went past him. He wanted a clear project and Barca couldn’t promise anything. Also got Raiola as an agent. Many reasons. I think it was probably wise of him to change the scenery and get a fresh start. Here he was always known for his name and hair, got a million followers at 15 playing youth football etc.

Hard to see anyone beating Bellingham for it

[–] Lustful-chan@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Acutually I have seen his name popping up every now and then on this sub, usually by brighton fans but PL fans in general.

10 goals at only 18 in the PL is huge for a striker.

I will definitely keep an eye on him.

Musiala is incredibly talented. Sky is the limit for him. but he's not as consistent yet and lacks what is to me one of the most valuable skills that Wirtz already has. Game intelligence. Wirtz knows what to do in certain (basically every) situations, Musiala still needs to learn that. Gladly, that's a skill you can obtain through experience. Wirtz is already worldclass, Musiala will get there eventually.

Inb4 all the 'Real Madrid PR' comments when Jude wins the Golden Boy Award

Portugal on pace to have stellar back line for years to come.

[–] degenerate-edgelord@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Seems like he's already at the very top

In this spirit of sexual equality, 25 women should be added to this list, and it should be renamed the 'golden child' award.

At the award ceremony the winner should be granted special powers by Eddie Murphy.

Afaik this can be a side effect from having a difficult birth due to the use of a specific tool.

So could be that..

[–] Old_Roof@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Nothing like Rooney in terms of playing style.

Much more of a classic CF/target man but he looks really intelligent & has great movement. Reminds me more of a young Kane. Will be interesting to see if he can develop his game the way Kane has in dropping deep etc.

How many goals do you need to score to not be over hyped?

[–] CheekLad@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Lol yeah that's a great example for comparison, Balde displaced JORDI ALBA guys he should be getting more attention!!!

[–] GinValid@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

To be honest I have no idea how good most of these players are, but I'm still surprised Rico Lewis isn't on the list.

[–] prss79513@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

guy is 6'2, powerful, fast and technical

Instinctual too, his movement in the box is top tier

[–] Tall_olive@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

We weren't ready to give him first team minutes and he wanted more money.

[–] _Dark93@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Translates to Jon Snow in English.

[–] DyMa_Nyx@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

But he has a contract with PSG doesn't him? Doesn't take away his long time in La Masia lol

[–] Tall_olive@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You're right I forgot he didn't move permanently from PSG. My bad.

Gavi has been one of the best Barça players, with Frenkie, Ter Stegen and Araujo&Koundé. That's why he played so much last year.

And Pedri is always injured, so can't really be compared. I prefer a Gavi playing 95% of the games than a Pedri playing less than 30%.

Musiala, no idea, I don't really watch Bayern.. but he didn't look that good in WC.

And no one here was surprised Gavi won it, he is class and always looks great when on the pitch. Just surprised two Barça players won it in a row though.

[–] Tall_olive@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I mean just being on the pitch doesn't get you the Golden Boy. Gavi is great, I love him, but he doesn't change the game the way Pedri, Jude, or Musiala do. Balde has also played regularly since breaking through with very few bad games. No claims he deserved it.
