Now you’re just being unrealistic.

 

[Gecklund]

Now you’re just being unrealistic.

You’re right I forgot Daniel Leyva at the very front and Reyna ahead of Davies/David

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

@YNWA14, Pherai was on the bench today due to a lot of players missing. But I doubt he’ll play as long as Favre is the coach.

I have him on my watch list. Biggest concern for me is that he reminds me a bit of Chong in that he's very talented but seems best as a 10 which seems to be a fading position in today's football. Not sure he can really cut it at an elite level on the wings; maybe as a creative midfielder (think he'd need to improve in a few areas to do well there)...but I haven't followed him as closely the guys coming up in the Eredivisie.

That list isn’t great.... Eduoard isn’t really near the top or at least shouldn’t be.

This poll was made on a very good Twitter account. Camavinga won. Kamara was second, Cherki third, Caqueret 4th.

Is Geubbels still any good?

That looks a lot closer.

Excellent. But injured. At this point, many have forgotten about him.

Yeah but I'd rank Saliba above Kamara. Kouassi is around the same level too. And it's tough to compare with Caqueret and Cherki given their different positions.
If I'm thinking about who I'd pick to start a team I'd go :
1/ Cherki (huge ceiling, but riskier, his position also influences)
2/ Camavinga (can't do much better)
3/ Saliba (as solid as they come)
4 tied : Kamara and Kouassi. Both are great technically. Kouassi is quicker, Kamara may be stronger. Both can play DM.

[Vasilevskiy]

Which player do you compare him stillistically? Reminds me from that video a bit of Fekir

 

[Evilo]

Frankly? Cristiano Ronaldo in his first United years (meaning more of a dribbler than a scorer).

 

[JeffreyLFC]

Cherki... a slower Neymar... his creativity and audacity in his dribbling are stupendous!

 

[John Pedro]

I see more Hazard than Neymar or CR7, tbh

 

[les Habs]

@John Pedro Thoughts on Brazao?

 

[Cassano]

This his awkward, but effective dribbling reminded me of Hazard

 

[YNWA14]

He also seems like more of a goal threat than young Ronaldo, and a better dribbler.

 

[John Pedro]

@John Pedro Thoughts on Brazao?

The keeper, Gabriel Brazao? I haven't watched him in Europe, but he was crazy good for Cruzeiro youth team.

This his awkward, but effective dribbling reminded me of Hazard

Me too. The way he carries the ball and kinda slows the pace to take on defenders is very similar to Hazard's, but he also more creative in his passing and even dribbling. There's some Ben Arfa there too.

 

[Evilo]

Young C. Ronaldo was a fantastic dribbler.
