A lot of people always seem to criticise certain players and always talk about their weaknesses. Such and such is good at this, however he isn't good at that etc etc.

So who are your perfect or close to perfect players?

Looking for serious answers.

Right now : Vidal , Di Maria , Iniesta , Messi , Azpi , Lahm( not sure tho but dude has been consistent as f//) , Thiago silva .

All are close to perfection sometimes in terms of what they are required to do imo.

Almost completely useless in attack, but class on defense. Fullbacks need to do more then defend in modern football.

Matic for me is the perfect DM; strong, creative(for a dm), technical, fast, stamina, etc.

Steven Gerrard

Manuel Neuer

Totti

I agree with Vidal. Di Maria is also quite complete. Schweinsteiger as well.

I would also like to add Aaron Ramsey. Before his injury he was the Arsenal leader for assists, goals, tackles made, distance covered per game. He was literally their best attacking midfielder, defensive midfielder and goalscorer all in one.

juan roman riquelme (almost perfect playmaker)
1) master in creativity & vision
2) master in passing
3) master in ball retention
4) very good in free kick
5) very good in corner kick
6) very good in penalty kick
7) very consistent in above ability

What sort of traits are looked at when determining a perfect player?

Big game player?
Intelligent?
Not error prone?
Really good at what they do?

I don't think the player has to be complete in terms of his position though. Like Iniesta is probably one who is a perfect player or close to perfect, however he isn't a complete midfielder or anything.

Sulley Ali Muntari

kevin constant

Steven Gerrard.

He is the only keeper in the world that scares guys who are taking PK's against him. When they show him pumping himself up and smacking the cross bar every time I think he has a better chance to stop the PK then the guy does to score it.

That and the fact he is a total beast in the box and a wonderful shot stopper. He is the perfect keeper for me.

Also, Luiz Suarez.

Every motion he seems to do on the pitch is useful to his team. Outside of his antics when you are talking about the pure playing of the game his play is just so positive and effective.

Gerrard, T.Silva, Suarez, Vidal, Neuer, Lahm

I agree about Matic but i didn't include him because he's been at chelsea for only 1/3 year.

Jordan Henderson.

prime etoo, messi, neuer, totti  

There is nothing as perfect player, they have weaknesses and strength. Its down to manager to utilize that in benefit of the team but if i want to go with one just for sake of giving an answer. I'd choose someone like De Rossi because he can defend,create and score

Yaya toure

not because I'm Juventino but Del Piero in his role

Vidal in midfield with Marchisio and yaya toure

Thuram defense

Danielle De Rossi. Without a doubt the closest to the perfect player.

Johan Cruyff.

Vidal, probably the most complete player out there. And when I say complete I mean exceptional at most aspects of his game, not somebody like Grosskreutz who's average at everything

Schweiny when fit is up there.

Di Maria lately has been the excellent in attack and defence.

Lahm perhaps.

T Silva and Barzagli for defence aswell.
