Top 10 Players of This Generation (12 Viewers)

[Afghan_juventus]

As we approach the end of the generation of Messi/Ronaldo, Tiki Taka, Super Teams, Spanish domination, EPL ridiculous popularity, and ridiculous money I think its time we look back at the best of the generation. IMO an appropriate period for this gen would be 2006 to present day. My list would be:

1. Messi
2. C. Ronaldo
3. Pirlo
4. Xavi
5. Suarez
6. Iniesta
7. Robben
8. Modric
9. Lewandowski
10. Chiellini

I've probably forgotten some names but its late at night and im tired.

Chiellini is great but he shouldn't be there. If there's a CB that needs to be in the list then that's Ramos who's for some reason underrated here.

 

[Wittl]

Chiellini.

I've you really want a Juventusplayer there: Replace Chiellini with Buffon.

 

[Dostoevsky]

Buffon counts as a generation before this one.

 

[Wittl]

...and put him on position 3.

Like Pirlo and Xavi?

Really? He comes up with the goals at the big moments more than any defender in history but in terms of actual defending I wouldnt put him near Chiellini. Messi would never humiliate Chiellini like he has Ramos.

1. Messi
2-10. The rest

Well he definitely is a level above the rest no doubt. But that includes almost all the players in history!

I think Ramos' defending abilities are very underrated. He's a lot faster than Chiellini and won't get caught as much. There's a reason why he plays so long for the best club in the world.

Like Pirlo and Xavi?

I was just joking seeing how he's a dino in the list

Ok I'll work on my list :wink:

Eh, maybe its the bias because of the Bonucci move but I can't find anything that Sergio best Chiellini in other than goal scoring, passing, and speed, 2 of which have nothing to do with defending.

Also id argue this year and 2014 are the only years Madrid has been the best with Ramos.

Done! There's some old ones like Buffon or Iniesta, but it's kinda hard to define this generation. They probably belong on the one before this one

 

[Dostoevsky]

Totti in his prime would enter my list, but hey, I'm a Romanista.

The thing is this generation is hard to define. Imo though they are older Iniesta and Xavi for example belong in this gen since it is where they rose to prominence. While someone like overlaps into 2 generations.

Maybe generation was the wrong word and era would be better........

Kaka could probably make some peoples lists too but not mine.....

Do a list!

 

[Afghan_juventus]

Do a list!

I second that.

I was also thinking of including Marcelo, or a CB, I just couldn't think of someone so dominant

Other than Chiellini I can only guess Vidic or Puyol? Maybe Pepe, Barzagli, Boetang, Ramos, or Silva but that would be reaching.

 

[Dostoevsky]

Do a list!

It would take a lot of time to get my mind into it, plus, I think it'd look disgusting since majority of the list would consist of Real and Barca players.

 

[Afghan_juventus]

Suarez is going to be underrated 20 years from now sadly. Imo by far the best striker of this generation. 2014 was his year.
