    Interesting ratings and picks. Aguero only started like half the games in the 17/18 season a bit like Kompany in 18/19, they should probably put the second best striker season there that actually played most the season there instead. I think thats Kane in 20/21 or Kane 22/23. Also, WhoScored’s goalkeeper ratings system is a bit tragic. Peak De Gea in 2017 or whatever should have had a higher average rating than 2015 Fabianski. Slightly surprised with Fuchs making it from that leicester side but he was a very solid component so thats fair, I guess there’s also been a dearth of elite LBs in recent times. Compare the top 10 RBs over the last two or three years with the top 10 LBs and there’s a big gap in quality lol.

    What happened to Swansea? They were a great little team, had great managers, made astute signings, played good football. What happened to them

      The streets remember the Otamendi-Mustafi partnership at Valencia under NES. Best CB pairing in La Liga

      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.
