Even if Van der Vaart didn’t become a constant World Class Player I still think you did him a bit wrong here, as he managed to get 109 caps (25 goals) for the dutch national team and is found to be a legend at the HSV in Germany… also he got nominated for the Ballon d‘Or in 2008, managed to play for Real Madrid and had some pretty successful years at Tottenham too. So he might not have become an all time great but he was one of the best COMs in the world for a couple of years still

[@gravyeyes01]

Couldn't agree more, it feels like if you become a messi or Ronaldo they somehow had bad careers but he had a great compared to most especially considering he won trophies (obviously not at Spurs) so yeah done completely dirty.

When I used to play FIFA(thanks EA for destroying this game too), there was the season when AS Monaco was doing shockingly good. I played some matches witrh AS Monaco. One day, I noticed the bench, the name Kylian Mbappe was so unique that I decided to include him in the team as LW. And OMG what a fun player to control. His stat was 58 but he had accelaration.

cr7 was definitely a shock player like Vini with Madrid in 2022 we just never expected that from him but he as still a great talent at sporting and at united being more of a dribbler than goalscorer which is why I find that dribbling youngsters like Leo, Vini, cr7,neymar etc. usually turn out the best and that's what players like yamal or doku can be they might not finish well but they have a higher ceiling in my opinion

[@ADthehawk]

Imagine Gotze remaining in Dortmund, Balotelli listening to coaches, Aguero not getting arythmia, Pogba staying in Juventus, Pato not being so injury prone. They all had the talent to be among the all time bests. Aguero is a legend, but he could be even greater. Mbappe and Messi definitely lived up to the promise.

Well, he was a key man in Dortmund, winning everything there. He played a good role in Bayern and scored the winning goal in the World Cup final. He had a tough time being sick and was far away from football. I think that, perception-wise, US or North American fans will probably have trouble understanding that Dortmund is a football institution. Btw he was brought by Eintracht to play Champions League for them as a starting player after they have won Europa League. To say that he hasn't fulfilled his potential is wrong. He did a lot; he has won everything. And nowadays still playing here in Frankfurt for Eintracht which is a good and solid club and strong club. Many guys form this list went from hero to zero. Btw being a golden boy doesn't mean anything, it just puts a lot of pressure, and if you observe legends of the sport, many of them were top talents but became really top and world-class players after turning 24 or so like Modric, Xavi, Pirlo, De Bruyne.
