Kante not being there makes no sense. Gerrard last season at Liverpool was 14/15. He shouldn't even be included on the last decade list.

Smartass, how many fucking seasons would he have played in the last decade?

Como me cagaste la vida en la gallina Suarez, pero en aquella época sí te quería.

[–] greg24211@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

2013/14 Suarez was just on a whole other level.

[–] OkChemical4668@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Excited to see La Liga version of this

[–] PhoenixNightingale90@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I don’t think anything can top 13/14 Suarez.

[–] DentistHungry5408@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Surely Salah had a better season than Mahrez?

[–] FireLadcouk@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

😆 I wouldn’t be advertising this. Doesn’t do much for their rating system

[–] ANATABAKANA@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Fuchs lmao XD

[–] redditsuckz99@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Fabianski and fuchs. That was not expected but much respect

[–] f00tball-is-Life@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

happy seeing an austrian player there!

[–] CeleryApprehensive36@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Christian Fuchs in there reminds me of that "i have no idea what im doing here" dog in the lab meme

[–] lm3g16@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Suarez was so good even Aly Cissokho was getting assists

Nicolas goatamendi

[–] MrVegosh@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Obviously not objective but that’s still a pretty fair team

[–] break2n@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I'm a massive Gerrard fan boy but he wasn't even that great that season. He scored a ton of penalties that Suarez was whipping up out of nowhere and got a bunch of typical Stevie G assists but as a DM we were shipping a mega fuck ton of goals and he was getting a lot of critique for it

I spent 3 years trying to tell people Otamendi wasn’t shit

[–] hasbulashmasbula@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Tbf though I don’t think this is the best reference for who the best players actually were, especially for CBs, since certain stats can really boost a player’s rating. For Otamendi in that City side he was the most active/aggressive defender who was also at the center of recycling possession, which led to him leading the team for recovering possession, and I’m pretty sure leading the league for passes completed. Remembering back to that season though, no one really talked about him being one of the best in the world, because although he performed his role incredibly well, it mostly came down to the team and system around him.

Suarez was a madman. That too with that liverpool side. Greatest striker since thierry in my book.

[–] raysofdavies@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

This team would properly cook

[–] josh_x444@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I think this goes to show just how bad these ratings are.

[–] UmCeterumCenseo@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Not to be that guy, but why is it V.V. Dijk and K. De Bruyne? "Van" and "De" are both prefixes in Dutch

[–] Arqlol@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Now I'm curious what bale was in his last year at Spurs

[–] stoneman9284@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Fabianski 🤣

[–] simpodemayo@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

fabianski in all seriousness was so underrated at his best, what a keeper

[–] Atrixer@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Otamendi feels like the odd one out here. It's suprising to see him ahead of Laporte, Dias or Stones from the same team.

I'm not, nor have I ever been a Chelsea fan, but prime Hazard was my all time favourite player to watch. He was magical.

I was intiially suprised to not see United players here, until I realised it's been over 10 year since they won the title, that makes me feel old. Growing up during the 2000's, I couldn't imagine a world where United were not on or around the top. Now they feel leagues below the top teams.

[–] ProfessionalGreat240@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

That is a sickening team, all in their primes. They'd steamroll everyone like playing FIFA on amateur mode

[–] MarcusZXR@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Not a single United player. The Glazer effect.

[–] Chris01100001@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Maybe a little controversial but I think this shows that these ratings aren't as reliable for defenders.

Fuchs is the only one who won the league in that season (although Trent and Liverpool were as excellent as most winners in 21/22).

I don't think anyone would have said that Otamendi or Fabianski had the greatest season of any defender or goalkeeper in the last 10 years and most would pick one of Van Dijk's Liverpool seasons rather than his Southampton one.

[–] Jaspertjess@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I also expected van Dijk, but as Liverpool defender. His time at Southampton is often overlooked tho

[–] WalkingCloud@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I had completely forgotten Fabianski played for the swans

[–] Ulri_kah_kah_kah@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

My Fabianski :')

Also don't remember Otamendi ever being that good. He was chaotic and a liability in my memory.

[–] Sapun14@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Torres was not playing in last 10 years? 🥲

im so old

[–] hubson_official@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I'm curious what was De Gea's rating tbh

[–] stryfehg11@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

How does Kante not make this team?

[–] xtrasour37@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Hazard > Salah

[–] AWright5@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

No Salah is mental

[–] EmperorMajorian@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

How’s there no Salah??? Blasphemy

[–] Variousnumber@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Excuse me whilst I cackle at the fact that Van Dijk's best season was as a Saints player.

[–] Used_Ad5603@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago
[–] TheArgentineMachine@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I always thought Otamendi struggled at city. I remember a lot of fans on here not rating him

[–] cidji_hh@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

It's crazy to me how Salah is not even on the list

[–] MrDaveMcC@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Fuck yes, a Swansea player in the team

[–] OsisX@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I'm missing Salah, maybe Kompany?

[–] Agreeable_Peak_7851@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

OTAMENDI? Count the numbers again.

[–] Mick4Audi@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Otamendi 16/17 surprises me, that wasn’t a great season for City

[–] TedTran2001@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Lukasz Fuckinghellski

[–] Far_Entertainer2365@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago
