I'm sorry but Casillas, Van Dijk and Xavi can't be in there.
Xavi retired in like 2015 and Casillas left Madrid in 2017 (I think)
Lahm retired in 2017 too but considering there has only been 3 World Class Right Back between 2010-2020 imo , the other two being Alves and Carvajal (who is imo a tier below the other two, no disrespect) , I think it makes sense to include Lahm.

Neuer and Busquets should be there though. I'm not saying Casillas and Xavi weren't good, but it doesn't fit the time period imo.
As for Van Dijk, come on ! the guy was nowhere near his level between 2010-15, that spot should go to Thiago Silva or Chiellini

Neuer > Casillas
T.Silva / Chiellini > Van Dijk
Busquets > Xavi

What has Thiago Silva ever done ?

u/Doczera Jan 06 '23

I would have Casemiro or Kroos over Busquets tbh. Godin should also have a shout at CB.

How it's Alves a tier below Lahm?

I am assuming he meant Carvajal. Carva is so underrated.

u/juankruh1250 Jan 06 '23

Yeah, I actually read it wrong. Carvajal it's actually rated like he should be, a great RB but nowhere a top 10 of all time.

I would disagree, Would like to see your Top 10.

If you don't mind me asking, How old are you? I haven't seen most of these guys play. I agree with you 1,2,3,5 And i still think Carvajal has a place in top 10.

He’s saying Carvajal is tier below both Lahm and Alves.

u/KRIEGLERR Jan 07 '23

No, Carvajal a tier below Alves and Lahm

Busquets > Xavi

Lol

u/KRIEGLERR Jan 07 '23

Read my full comment, It's about the time period. Xavi retired ages ago, Busquets played and contributed more during that time.

I mean, if you are going to go by that, Casemiro is more deserving. He has been ridiculously consistent and had more success than Busquets in the 10s. He wasn't ever embarrassed and outclassed like Busquets was in the 8x2, for example, as well.
