Nastasic over Jones and that's a solid list imo

Seems pretty odd to have Jones over Marquinhos, particularly at a position I'm not even sure he plays very often (though I could be wrong since I don't watch ManU that often).


I don't think I know who the LB Shaw is.


Probably better than most of these lists based on players that are actually playing for their clubs.

Plays for Southhampton. If Arsenal didn't have Gibbs we would probably buy him this summer. Very good player.

Yeah, I´d pull the CB for Marquinhos, and the LB for Alaba.

Alaba is still 21 and an absolutely fantastic LB, who is miles better than Shaw. Shaw is going to be great though.

I'd also take Götze over Neymar

Thanks. . .

I think the couple of times I've seen Southampton this year Shaw came on as a sub and played more as a winger if I recall correctly. . .

Alaba for this list seems the right call.

I guess he just has a weird face
No shite. I think I thought I saw him play last year for the first time, and I assumed he was a perennial back up. He does look old(er).

Why Neymar? I don't think he's better than Neymar.

Jones is almost laughable. Alaba should be in there. And Neymar is 22, so...

Think that they used 1/1/92 as the cutoff

Well yea Alaba in there is a no-brainer. Didn't realize he was still 21

Yeah, I think based on actual production Neymar would be the last of the attacking players you would drop from this list.

Isn't he averaging almost an assist or goal a match?

That the glaring problem with the list is trying to sneak in two undeserving English players is shocking.

Yeah, he was playing exceptionally well before getting hurt. Barcelona's season wouldn't be going very well without Neymar's and Victor Valdes's performances early on.

Damn, Alaba still qualifies? Yeah, he should go in.

Southampton produces studs though. I hope they can make it to Europe next year.

I think he's better than almost everyone on that list. After coming back from injury and a bit of a slow start, he's been arguably the best player in the Bundesliga.


I chose him to replace Neymar because it was the best way to keep it close to a legit team. Nothing really against Neymar.
