Suarez vs Benzema

[Temptation]

So I have seen a fair bit of debate regarding this online. Especially after Benzema started performing this well.

Who's better overall? Not just peak or longevity.

Who'll be remembered as better in discussion 10 years later. Try being as unbiased as possible. Vote!!!

Benzema especially if he keeps up this level for another season. Longevity is on his side.

Suarez of course

Saurez.

Benzema making a good case for himself though.

If he performs like this another year, will he be ahead of Suarez for you??

Benz just slightly ahead of Suarez for me.

Argument for Benz:
I don't think Suarez can make a difference at the CL KO level for a struggling team like Benz has been able to do for RM last couple of years.


Argument for Suarez:

Very high peak from 2013-2016 (probably 3rd highest after Messi and CR7 in the last 12-13 years). Benz never had this level of production or individual brilliance in his gameplay.

It's a nonsensical comparison, Benzema isn't in Luisito's hemisphere even in his dreams

Personally agree 100%.

But you would be surprised to see how many people here rate Benz higher.

Of course you agree. Benzema is not proven in mighty EPL.

Lewandowski hasn't played in the Prem. Me(and most people outside this forum) rate him higher than both.

It’s close as recency bias can cloud judgement. But I’m going Suarez by a small margin.

[Rassvet]

I would lean Suarez now but Benz could usurp him in the next 1-2 years.

Easy for me. Benzema. Bigger body of work, involved in many more high-profile games in which he was often decisive. Suarez fell off just when he had to make his mark. Was at the end of some severe beatdowns in CL by comparison, and was known to be a lazy player.

Can't choose a player that basically played 1 CL final in his whole career vs a quadruple CL winner that influenced and was decisive in many CL semis or finals.

Suarez had more talent, but it's the nth example where better dedication and mentality trumps slightly more talent. It's not like Benzema doesn't have loads of talent anyway.

It's a bit like Ronaldinho vs Cristiano Ronaldo. I take consistency over a long time as the most important argument. Benzema is like top 3-5 in his position for about 12 years. Pretty crazy.
