Really? Godin at 6 is what makes it lose credibility? Not Otamendi at 3?

No I was laughing at your wit towards D2M.Why the laugh? I like Otamendi, but he's been very poor for City so far.

So according to that:
Otamendi's the best center back in the premier league.
and Kolarov's the best left back in the premier league.

The list as a whole is stupid...Sakho being 10th is ridiculous but I mentioned Godin at 6 because he's probably #2 and he's underrated given his team.
Godin certainly isn't #2. Especially if the list takes account of passing ability, as this one does. He's overrated, given his team. The midfield already does a ton of the defensive work since they're so organized, and he has simplified tasks compared to CBs on possession-oriented teams.
He's been just as good for Uruguay. I just took a glance at their list and sure what they're using as their methods but it's clearly crap.
I agree. Otamendi has ranged from ok to terrible with City this season. The difference in City's defending with Kompany in there compared to Otamendi has been massive.
According to whoscored Otamendi is the 2nd best CB statistically after Van Dijk with an avg rating of 7.48. I mean he's not top 3 but I don't think it's fair to say he's been terrible. Only reason people are hating on him is because of his tranfer fees.
Now, to be fair, LB is an incredibly weak position and Kolarov had a really good start to this season. However, this list is very clearly very silly.
Maybe. Uruguay certainly don't play like big European domestic clubs do though. He's a very good defender but he's lacking passing and dribbling attributes that other top center backs (e.g. Thiago Silva, Boateng, Hummels) have, and therefore his influence on the match is limited compared to them.
He might've had a good start, but pretty much every City supporter considers him a liability. Heck, he's not even the first choice there. Pellegrini plays Clichy over him in important matches and for good reason too: https://streamable.com/peg0
Don't see a lot of 'rigor' there. He shoots a lot though, so I guess that's why he's in there.
