Over rated player: Dejan Stankovic- I am actually glad he passed on us, that sucky bastard.
Under rated player: Per Kroldrup- the three times I have seen this guy play he has done a great job leading the defense for Udinese.
Good choices. Actually, there's a lot of Udinese players I'd put in the under-rated category (along with quite a few Sampdoria players). Throw in Marchionni and a few old goalies while you're at it, like Pagliuca and Marchegiani.
Given the number of players who had career years with Milan this season, they're ripe for a lot of overrated rankings at the moment. That level of performance has been amazing, but I've never seen any sport where that phenomenon is sustainable after a year or two.
Other ripe candidates for the overrated bin: Vieri (big time), Gilardino (and yes, I still want to see him in a Juve kit at least some day), DP (based on endorsement-to-goals - or assists - ratio alone), and Gheddafi for the sake of even being mentioned at all.
