Re: Ranking the best young players (21 or under) in the world right now
Not sure if you forgot about him or just didn't deem him good enough, but Lamela is better than half the guys you listed for forwards. Either way it's subjective and it must have been tough to rank them so no big.

Re: Ranking the best young players (21 or under) in the world right now
Also, I've just realised that not 1 wing-back (apart from maybe Alaba) made my list.
De Sciglio (WB) of Milan should be added. I'm sure there are others out there too.
Also, Alessandro Florenzi (mid) of Roma, and Paul Pogba (mid) of Juve.

Gotze is better than Neymar. Schurrle should be lower and Eriksen should be way higher. Alaba, Verratti, Holtby, Wilshere, and Pogba should all be in the top 20.

Re: Ranking the best young players (21 or under) in the world right now
I separated players by position, because I don't think comparing Pogba to Isco (for example) is a particularly valid comparison. They have different roles and different skill sets.juventus101 wrote:Alaba, Verratti, Holtby, Wilshere, and Pogba should all be in the top 20.
Coutinho wishes he was as good as SESurbaNRoots wrote:

Re: Ranking the best young players (21 or under) in the world right now
Make it 22 or under..players like Holtby and Gundogan just turned 22 and some of the players in your list will soon turn 22 so its kinda makes up for an unfair list you know.Ramsey for example,i think he doesnt deserve to be in the list anyway.

There are a few reasons I didn't expand to 22...
- people turning 23. Every year is going to have players who are just about to move outside of the zone.
- 21 is what I was aiming at because it would include players that are pre-breakout as well as those who are breaking out right now + the early bloomers. It is unfortunate that Holtby and Gundogan missed out, but can you imagine how long the list would be with another year's worth of players?
- Ramsey is still a very young player, playing regularly at a high level in a top league. He's not the most prodigious of talents, that's true. But he is within the scope of my list and makes it at the bottom of the list by default.

Re: Ranking the best young players (21 or under) in the world right now
How about having a list comprising players of '90 class and over('91,'92'93 etc),some of them born in '90 are real gems and are still young(its not like they're experienced campaigners you know)..

Re: Ranking the best young players (21 or under) in the world right now
Yeah, that's true. E.g. Strootman is 90'. What about the late bloomers though? How do you justify their inclusion/exclusion? Someone like Michu? He's 26, but didn't achieve notoriety until last year.Surag wrote:How about having a list comprising players of '90 class and over('91,'92'93 etc),some of them born in '90 are real gems and are still young(its not like they're experienced campaigners you know)..

James is a phenomenal player..Its a shame he doesnt play in a Top 3 league as his hype would've blown out of the roof by now tbh.He is destined for PL or Liga anyway.

I stopped following Porto week and week out after Falcao,Guarin and Hulk left, maybe he got better this season.

If were including players that have just turned 22, then in my opinion Kroos is a close second place to Gotze. Neymar wouldnt even make Top 3. Gotze, Kroos, and Hazard hold down those spots.
