A top 50 list of the most overrated footballers of all time has been voted on by fans with some very questionable players making the list and even finishing very high in the list.
The ideas of overrating and underrating players has been a staple of many arguments between footballers alike. Players such as Roberto Firmino and Anthony Martial have been deemed overrated over the past few years due to their lack of scoring output at their respective clubs of Liverpool and Manchester United.
However, a lost of the top 50 most overrated players has been released with very questionable results on the list.
With players such as Edgar Davids, Paul Scholes, Robert Lewandowski, and Ronaldinho making the list questioned the results, but the top 10 is very controversial to say the least.
50. Paul Scholes
49. Timothy Weah
48. David De Gea
47. Johannes Dhalum
46. Franco Armani
45. Emre Mor
44. Edgar Davids
43. Michael Bradley
42. John Arne Riise
41. Sadio Mane
40. Gabriel Morales
39. Antoine Griezmann
38. Zlatan Ibrahimovic
37. Robert Lewandowski
36. Michael Carrick
35. Jordan Henderson
34. Vincent Kompany
33. Gareth Bale
32. Mohamed Salah
31. Ronaldinho
30. Arjen Robben
29. Alexis Sanchez
28. Ronaldo
27. Eden Hazard
26. Kylian Mbappe
25. Sergio Ramos
24. Wayne Rooney
23. Diego Maradona
22. David Beckham
21. Pele
20. Ivan Rakitic
19. Lucio
18. Philippe Coutinho
17. Olivier Giroud
16. Karim Benzema
15. Gerard Pique
14. Kevin De Bruyne
13. Steven Gerrard
12. Javier Hernandez
11. Giovani Dos Santos
10. Neymar
9. Paul Pogba
8. Iker Casillas
7. Edin Dzeko
6. Paulinho
5. Lionel Messi
4. Mario Balotelli
3. Shinji Kagawa
2. Cristiano Ronaldo
1. Radamel Falcao
A very bizarre top 10.
With players such as Paulinho, Edin Dzeko, and Shinji Kagawa making the list who were never really seen as world-class players in their prime. Funnily enough the top two players of all time in Messi and Ronaldo make the top five overrated players albeit both having incredible trophy and goal-scoring records.
Falcao coming out as the top most overrated player is also very questionable. Falcao in his prime at Porto and Atletico Madrid was arguably the best out-and-out striker in the world, scoring 70 goals in his two seasons at Atletico.
Who do you think is the most overrated player ever and why is it Jordan Henderson?
Let us know in the comments.
