Underrated/Overrated Players of 2019-20:

[Pavel Buchnevich]

I agree with you. Who said he's the Messi successor? I have not heard such comments here in Barcelona

That we can agree about, but do a quick google search with the names Fati and Messi. I searched two pages of results. I found articles from AS, ESPN, Forbes, to name some of them, that directly made a reference to him as a Messi successor. You follow football media coverage. You know some people say these things because he’s been successful at a similar age to Messi. You also know that he simply does not possess the talent Messi had. A lot have ignored that and pointed to his accomplishments over his skillset.

Underrated: Antonio Rudiger

Overrated: Heung-Min Son (he's very very good, but there's a lot of revisionism about Spurs's past couple years going on that overplays him and underplays Kane - Kane is significantly better)

Nahhhh

 

[Aladyyn]

Brandon Williams

I wanted to ask what he was but I guess it can go both ways.

 

[JeffreyLFC]

Liverpool version

Overrated: Henderson
Underrated : Keita

 

[Vasilevskiy]

From a neutral point of view I don't find any player from Liverpool is overrated.

Firmino is underrated and so is Wijnaldum IMO.

 

[Evilo]

Almost all are overrated when they're talked about as best at their position.
It's the sum of all parts that made them who they are.
That doesn't mean they don't PERFORM at a top level.
It just means their drawbacks are less exposed by their team and their strong points are put forward.
You put this team with Mourinho and nobody says they're top 3 players at their position.

This has been the case for years though. I’d say Salah is a bit overrated though.

 

[Aladyyn]

Harry Maguire is a player that doesn't get nearly enough credit tbh

Harry Maguire is a player that doesn't get nearly enough credit tbh

It's a tough spot with him because he's clearly overrated by a some since he was sold for a world record fee, but I think that has also made people disrespect his a ability a little bit. I still think he's better suited as a 2CB for a top end team than being the anchor defensively.

Overrated in the English world and accurately rated everywhere else?

 

[Aladyyn]

He's the 3rd best CB in England. Take that as you will.

He is pretty polarizing in the English world. A lot of people think he is amazing and the savior of the defense. On the other hand there are plenty of people who think he is criminally overrated and will claim their club's CBs are close to Maguire or better than him, at a much cheaper price. I fall into the second category; I would way rather have Dunk thank Maguire!

 

[The Abusement Park]

Overrated in the English world and accurately rated everywhere else?

That could be a fair take. He's definitely a good player, but he's not a world record level player. Just seems to be a bit of a catch 22 for him honestly.

 

[Gecklund]

He's the 3rd best CB in England. Take that as you will.

I’d take VvD, Laporte for sure and I’m assuming those are the two. Soyuncu, Gomez, Rudiger, Alderweireld, Vertoghen, Diop, and Ake all have varying arguments. I think I’d put him right in between Rudiger and Alderweireld.

nah... SJsharks has mentioned a few that are better.

 

[Aladyyn]

I thought the Soyuncu nonsense ended months ago. The Spurs CBs are washed and Gomez is overrated because Liverpool (and has never played more than 23 PL games in a season).

Laporte and VVD are very clearly better. Than I'd say Rudiger, Vert, and Maguire are all pretty similar level players and Soyuncu/Gomez might be a little behind right now but should overtake him soon I'd say.

Also I think Alderweireld has historically been better but Maguire was for sure better this season.

Why did he get corona?

They're not washed might not have had the best year but certainly not washed.

 

[YNWA14]

Gomez is anything but overrated. He’s probably the third best tbh.

Maguire is a solid CB. Nothing special. I wouldn’t have him top 5.

 

[Aladyyn]

Soyuncu isn't even the best CB on his own team ffs

He's crazy overrated on here

 

[Gecklund]

Do you really think Jonny Evans is better?

 

[Wee Baby Seamus]

Maguire's overrating by clubs (which manifested in the absurd transfer fee) has resulted in him being underrated by fans. He's a very good CB.

I'm not sure that Jonny Evans is better than Caglar Soyuncu, but he's definitely underrated.

 

[The Abusement Park]

Maguire's overrating by clubs (which manifested in the absurd transfer fee) has resulted in him being underrated by fans. He's a very good CB.

He’s not elite, but he’s at the top of the tier right below that. And it’s a shame his fee has caused people to look over how good he is.

 

[Incubajerks]

Gaetano Castrovilli, probably the best Italian midfielder and nobody is talking about him. Luckily.
