Messi, no words. Also, shout out to R9. The man was a monster, and still a big what if story due to the knee injury.

r/toprightmessi

Not exactly top right, but still

Idk why but harry kane is surprising.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

He led the league in goals and assists one time, and always is scoring, not too surprising he's here imo.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

I think he meant it's surprising that Kane isn't higher up that list.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

Him making this list in spite of spending almost his entire career at a B-tier top team is impressive. Put him at prime Barca or City and his numbers would be even higher.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Kylian and Haaland might well break all time goalscoring record with the number of games increasing.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Hope so, I think they will have more chances. As football is evolving, hope they create more new records for higher quality football

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

More records ≠ higher quality football

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

Sure, but advancements in sports medicine, sports psychology, nutrition, and tactics, means the quality of football is forever increasing

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

Those are some damn juicy stats holy s

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago (3 children)

3 of top 4 were on a team together and they didn't even sniff a Champions League title. Strong statement on individuals not winning trophies in world football.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

That front 3 would not have won the UCL even with a bald manager of your choice with prime Milan backline and the best 3 work horse CMs of your choice + every refree decision going your way. Not in today's football anyway.

MNM occupy same spaces when you let them loose. This is like Cancelo x Grealish problem but on steriods.

This is the stupidest thing I’ve ever seen

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago (2 children)

It took me a full minute to figure out wtf you meant. “Mbappe was never in barca..? And barca won CL titles..?Huh? OOOOH YEAHHhh, PSG…”

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Exact same thing happened to me. It's surprising how playing for a team like that really does feel a bit like wasted time for a lot of players. Not in terms of money but just general relevance.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

Man if Mbappe had gone to Madrid two years ago he'd be so fucking scary

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

Same. Messi at PSG still feels like a fever dream.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

3 in top 7 won the UCL together 🥹

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

All 3 of MSN were in their prime at the time, while Messi and Neymar were already past their prime when they played together with Mbappé at PSG. And 2015 Barca had a much better midfield than 2022 PSG.

I feel like this gets posted once a week

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

Was just about to say that lol

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago (2 children)

I get these are straight stastics but they should be weighed a little differently. Ronaldo should be #2 considering the insane numbers he has in each category. Fuck math and ratios and shit lol

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

I am not sure what your objection is here, normalizing per matches played is exactly the way to make this fair.

It might be a bit better if the ratio was G+A per minute rather than per game, or removing penalties (since not all the players here were penalty-takers for all or even any of their teams).

What would you prefer?

r/freekarma

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

Keeping that ratio in over 1000 games is crazy

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

Yeah Google “Benzema 15” for more info on this.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

1200 and 1100 goal involvement are fucking freak numbers man

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

That's pretty close to the order in which I'd rate them.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I had really underestimated cristiano's assists

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

Most people do. It's another part of his game that get's erased because of the insanity of the guy he's compared to.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

I'd argue having a lower ratio is indeed better to determine the more rounded player

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

Interesting - that’s almost my list of the most talented players of the 21st century in exact order, except Mbappe is lower and where the hell is Thierry Henry

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Crazy to imagine that everyone bar Mbappe managed to achieve numbers like these in non-farmers leagues. Respect

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

Crazy how a league ranked number 5 on the entire planet is considered farmers league

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

It’s been the 5th best league for a long time, it’s not massively out from the Bundesliga either. Both are easier to score leagues.
