Flip Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 Still can't believe someone took Luiz of their hands for that much money. What an absolute gift that was. I think they're involved in some shit because the money they've gotten for Luiz, Mata, De Bruyne and Lukaku is quite insane tbf. All of them are excellent on their day but none of them is really that consistent (well apart from Mata, who has somehow become worse since leaving Chelsea though).

Mole_Toonfan Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 Meh not bothered about the team, it's a popularity contest as much as the award itself is. Personally don't take much stock in it anymore. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flip Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 The Iniesta inclusion was a strange one but someone's taking the mick at FIFA with Luiz Think the quality of defenders is so shit this year that they gave it to someone who can score a decent free-kick I mean even Thiago Silva has been quite bad for the last 6 months or so and still I can't think of two CB's more deserving than him and Ramos. Seriously, the crop of CBs in the world is absolutely fucking shit right now. Kompany, Thiago had below their standards season. Vidic, Terry, Pique are dead. Hummels isn't all that great (as I've said before). Only Ramos is really good but even he has moments of absolute madness. Am I missing someone here? I mean seriously? Is there really no world class CBs left in the world? Miranda and Godin were fantastic but I think it's more down to their team rather than their individual quality.

Mole_Toonfan Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 There's 3 CBs there take one of them out and put in Felipe Luis. Yes I know he hardly played this season but we all know these awards are about last season and he was the best LB in Europe last season. Also Hummels is miles better than Luiz.

Literally every defender that you've mentioned there is better than David Luiz. I dont' disagree. Well Vidic isn't and I'd say Pique hasn't shown anything resembling a CB for over a year now as well. But yeah the others are, so is Cahill in my opinion as well, but they're not excellent and if I was FIFA I'd have made this a 3-4-3 or something. Like Mole said, it's more a popularity contest. Because for as weird as it is that he won it, Iniesta who has been quite average all season won it as well at least David had 4-5 excellent games at the World Cup and a decent start to his PSG career until the last weeks or so.

Froggy Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 Terry's been really good this season, hasn't he? I think Terry is class like. Always has been. On another note, Low has won coach of the year over Simeone and Ancelotti. Would have gone for Simeone myself. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole_Toonfan Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 Terry's been really good this season, hasn't he? Aye and last year, doesn’t have the international exposure due to no World Cup of the other defenders so not surprising he's not been picked. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mole_Toonfan Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 I don't even think Silva has been very good this year, but he gets there on the basis that no one has really been any better. If it was up to me. Neuer Lahm Silva Godin Felipe Luis Alonso Kroos Di Maria Robben Messi Ronaldo But who cares really, it'll be forgotten about very quickly and I doubt the players even care that much either.
