The most underrated players.

[sammy89]

Kanu and Gilberto.

Kanu is one of the gods of football here in Africa

Deservedly, but he seems forgotten otherwise which he doesn't deserve to be, same for Gilberto Silva.

 

[LoneGunner83]

Alvaro Recoba will be my first nominee.

Although he certainly had a good career, I think more could have been coaxed out of him and he never quite earned the respect his ability deserved. Inconsistent certainly; one week he could be the best player you've seen, the next you'd wonder if he had shipped himself back to Uruguay and sent over a lesser-gifted twin.

But what a player when in the zone. Explosive in his youth, dynamic dribbler and one of the best deadballs specialists of the late 90s and early 00s. Magician.

Yep I agree. I think he should've left Inter earlier. What a left foot he had.

Recoba was godlike in earlier versions of PES, however he was partnered with the one true god of PES: Adriano

Adriano back when PES was the dominant football game. Guy was a tank but Recoba's technical stats were amazing

yeah. one of the best free-kick specialists, but inconsistent as sheeyite.

dunno if leaving Inter would have helped him. He was an enigma.

The Brazil team on PES 5 was ridiculous. Would line up with a midfield of Gilberto, Juninho P, Diego, Kaka and Ronaldinho and just blow teams away.

Also that Italian team with Del Piero, Cassano, Totti, Pirlo, Maldini, Cannavaro, Nesta, Toni, De Rossi and Inzaghi was class.

So much nostalgia for those days.

 

[sammy89]

I had a no Adriano rule when playing PES 4, 5 or 6. He was so broken you couldn't even foul him to draw a red card!

 

[malek natsheh]

navas

 

[LoneGunner83]

Navas would be squarely on the overrated thread for me.

The Spanish Nathan Dyer. He has pace and a solid cross from the byline, but nothing else to distinguish him. Passing and decision-making is inconsistent, little real vision to his play, and his goalscoring record is downright pathetic for an advanced winger.

In Guardiola's position, he would be the first out of the door.

 

[Rosso]

navas

Keylor?

 

[malek natsheh]

navas become first choice in RW although he is RB player

 

[MaraDon]

he should be.

 

[BobP]

Does anybody remember the Norwegian player Ronny Johnsen? Played for United.

Definitely underrated IMO, he was the guy who often partnered Jaap Stam in the middle of defense, when he wasn't injured, something which is often forgotten.

Also a member of the golden generation of Norwegian football.

 

[Nyctophobia]

Lots and lots of underrated players from Northern Europe I'd say, I can make a list of ten at least with just Norwegians.

Rune Bratseth
Claus Lundekvam
Erik Mykland
Kjetil Rekdal
Erik Thorstvedt
Sigurd Rushfeldt
Øyvind Leonhardsen
Hallvar Thoresen
Henning Berg
Erik Nevland
Tom Lund

Some others off the top of my head, Jari Litmanen from Finland, Thomas Ravelli, Ralf Edström from Sweden, some Danes; Thomas Helveg, Søren Lerby, Jan Mølby, Allan Simonsen, and Eidur Gudjohnsen from Iceland I also think is underrated.
