All different positions but I rate ZZ above R9 and R10 as a Football Legend. Maybe R9 had the better peak but overall it's Zidane for me. Still remember when everyone was talking about the great star studded, stacked Brazil team in the 2006 WC. Retirement Zidane just came in, smiled and...

While Xavi and Iniesta were great players and one of the best in their teams they were also lucky that their peak coincided with some of the greatest club and national sides in history. That Spanish National Team had so many great players that even people like David Silva, Fabregas, Cazorla...

I ask the Football Gods for forgiveness in advance coz I'm allowing a Franz Beckenbauer topic to segue into an Eric Dierbolical discussion but here it goes: Dier to Bayern: Sometimes these big clubs have these strange signings for squad depth, cheap deals or whatever reason. Remember when Real...

Xavi was absolutely amazing but ZZ is still at the top for me. Pretty easily. ZZ just had more magic, a larger skill set, more leadership, main man energy, aggression, way better in the air, clutch gene, entertainment value, better dead ball specialist, etc.... It's baffling that a player...

Pirlo is interesting. He started his career as an attacking midfielder but shifted back as he matured and ended up playing as a Deep Lying Playmaker. I put Pirlo in this list because old Pirlo would still play alongside a proper DM. He never really played as the sole DM/number 6/destroyer...

Current players aren't generally rated very highly in these conversations. Nostalgia bias. We'll have to wait till KDB retires or declines to determine his legacy properly. Anyways ranking the CMs(broadly classified, all types of CMs, players who'd fit in as an 8 in a 433).....not including...

Let's decide his default position first. KDB's offense is his biggest strength but no number 10 defends as much as he has done in his peak under Pep. He mostly played as an 8 in City's attacking 433 drifting towards the right flank and crossing or freely roaming all around. I think he...

Amazing player. So talented and makes the toughest bits look so simple and effortless. Much much better than PedRi. FDJ is a proper world class mid.

KDB is a better Footballer than Kroos. Very different roles though. Long passing is the only attribute Kroos has over KDB. Surprisingly, even in defensive duties and physicality, KDB is well above....despite his more advanced position. Truly a beast.

2 magicians. 2 icons. Both amazing to watch and won pretty much everything. Who was better, more influential and the bigger icon? Why?

FDJ's hairstyle is really cool but he definitely doesn't have the best hair in the game lol. Not even the best hair in Barca.....

Those are team trophies. Rating individuals solely based on team trophies is dumb lol. Not like KDB doesn't have trophies....... Pique will never be greater than Nesta/Stam. Giroud will never be greater than Totti/Kane.

FDJ doesn't even have the best hair at Barca. At this super young age, he's an NW 1.5. Many players have better hair. Can name many.

Like I said, this forum ain't ready for that conversation. Better hair volume, density and quality than FDJ. KDB is a solid NW 1. Top notch like his game. It so weird when people hold things like international trophies against KDB. This schoolboy system of rating individuals solely based on...

In terms of individual ability, KDB is actually better than some of the "all time great mids" of the generation. But because of the number of CLs(a team trophy BTW), certain casuals are not ready to have this conversation. Time and again KDB produces sublime moments of individual...

KDB got great hair. Not a very bad Footballer either........

Change your username to XaviGOAT lil bro.

Damn! Great comeback by Iniesta here. Now leading by 1 vote! I hope posters aren't picking Iniesta coz Xavi's management left a bitter taste in their mouths. :lol:

You can make exactly the same arguments against Iniesta. :lol: Both Xavi and Iniesta were nowhere near their peak levels pre 2008/pre Pep. Folks using that as a stick to beat Xavi with when Iniesta went through the same career graph is hilarious. :lol:
