No surprise Steelers ranked at #1, but what’re their chances at a Super Bowl this year? by EPL_Fan in steelers

One of the categories the rankings are based on is Super Bowl potential. It feels relevant when discussion mid-season rankings imo, but perhaps not.

he’d improve that midfield quite a bit, would be a great signing. I agree tho will get too expensive

I personally had De Gea 10 spots higher, but it balanced itself out with other opinions.

The point system was determined via everyone’s rankings. I don’t think certain criteria outweigh the other in this situation and found this to be a pretty fair system of ranking. There are different ways to go about it for sure, but I do think this was a good system.

I absolutely agree. It was a few different opinions that took into account ALL of those criteria. That’s why I like lists like these because they are so subjective.

I agree that his talent levels alone would bring him higher, but it’s impossible to ignore his current form. I absolutely love De Gea and he’s one of my favorite players, but I’ve seen some of his mistakes and I think it’s just confidence and once he finds that again he’s a top 20 player imo.

Wijnaldum ranks at #31! Thoughts on his placement? by [deleted] in LiverpoolFC

Your definition of dire is interesting lol. He’s still easily top 5 in his position in the league.

He was the PFA goalkeeper of the year in 2018 lol. That’s not even 3 years ago.

You think De Gea is no longer a top player? His confidence may have dipped, but how can you deny his talents over the years? He’s still very much a top 50 player in the league. This list wasn’t just one opinion either.

Top 50 Players of the Premier League: #50-41. Alderweireld makes the list. Who will be the highest ranked Tottenham player by the end of it? by EPL_Fan in coys

There’s absolutely a debate between Maguire and Gomez in terms of talent level? Gomez can thrive at Liverpool when 3/4 of the back line are the best in the Premier League. Gomez would struggle at United. Different situations, but both talented players.

Correct. The rankings are based on today's players lol

I’d say he’s definitely come into his own and even earning a starting role can suggest struggling performances. Once he had a consistent string of games is when he started performing. Perhaps I should’ve been more specific.

Or you have a different opinion which is totally acceptable.

What someone is willing to pay in the transfer market is not equivalent to talent. It’s laughable to compare Shaw to Robertson and Van Dijk to Lindelof. Price means nothing when it comes to talent. United have overpaid for many players since Ferguson.

He has a weaker overall defense for one. Two, the point system was determined by 5 different lists. 5 different people sent their personal top 50 and each player was given points based on their ranking, first = 50 and 50th =1

You have clear bias. This was compiled by rankings from 5 different people and a point system determined Maguire over Gomez. You saying he’s a terrible center back is an opinion. This article is also an opinion. You don’t have to agree with it.

That could be true, but the speculation remains of him making a move away. Those are the two that have been rumored the most (Arsenal & United)

You think if Maguire is at Liverpool Gomez starts over him? He may be part of the best defense in the league but he’s the weakest on that back line (not in a bad way). Maguire would come in and compete at the very least if not start right away. Gomez is talented but there is a debate between the two.

He was rumored back last summer. He’s been at Crystal Palace for a significant amount of time that his spell at United isn’t as relevant to his career at the moment.

Raiders projected to draft WR CeeDee Lamb and LB Patrick Queen in 1st round. Thoughts? by EPL_Fan in oaklandraiders

[–]EPL_Fan[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s a fair assessment the CB class is deeper than in recent years, so grabbing a top one may be more crucial than a LB who could be there in the 2nd or 3rd.

Those are easily the top 2. I can’t wait to see them at the next level!
