This show goes up so many levels when the guests are intelligent football fans rather than just club fans arguing for their own team. This segment was super interesting.
*Cough* RORY *Cough*
@@elliotporterfield6921:D :D :D
I love how Dougie is not a prem merchant and understands that there’s better players out there that do not play in the prem
He's actually knowledgeable
he's just a bundesliga merchant
@@mrcompressed2423 no he isnt?
@@ArtArt-ux7cx palmer 8th tel on the list it’s bs
Imo this is very true, Nico Williams has been fantastic for Athletic Club like Palmer has done for Chelsea Nico has helped Athletic to a Cup Final. Has been integral to displacing the Top 4 in Spain and I dont think the Buyout Clause is actually a thing after he signed his new deal I'd be really surprised that it still exists but tbh I don't see him wanting to leave anytime soon.🤞
It's actually so refreshing having someone like Dougie on who not only champions the European Leagues, but actually knows what he's talking about 😂 I understand the inherent Prem bias from an English channel but it gets sickening sometimes.
Love the Nico Williams addition, If this was done again in a few months I'd fully expect Cubarsi to make the list 🔥
Word! You can tell that a lot people including the hosts in this show only watch the prem
Completely agree that the prem bias gets OLD
Finally a good list yes
No Camavinga completely dicredits the list. The guy is 20 years old, has completed club football, and plays like 3 different positions for the best club in the world. How is Nico Williams better because his parents crossed a desert? Camavinga was born in a warzone.
@@tharcisse7103 he's 21, but imo should be there instead of Udogie
Finally, people who actually watch football and not just FIFA children
Then why is Palmer so low and Camavinga aint on the list bruh
@@DS-dw3pzCamavinga has completed club football
@@manndoshi1079 so?
@@DS-dw3pz so he deserves a spot
@@manndoshi1079 read what I wrote...I replied to the comment which says that they actually watch football so I replied by asking if that's the case then why Palmer is so low and Camavinga ain't on the list bruh
How is Camavinga not Top 10 U21 in the world? 😅 He plays like 3 different positions at Real Madrid and has already won everything at club level.
Did he win everything at club level this season? Because this is based on this season. If this was based on winning everything at club level then Rico Lewis and Oscar Bobb should be in this for doing that too last season. He’s still a great player but ever since Jude came in and took up another midfielder spot that puts him lower than what he was at last season. And you can’t say he plays 3 different positions because that’s not based on this season now that Mendy and Fran Garcia took that LB position back.
@@marvinprudencio7321 This season, Camavinga won the Spanish Supercup and is about to win La Liga. Rico Lewis and Oscar Bobb's impacts are incomparable to Camavinga's. Jude Bellingham is irrelevant. I'm talking about Camavinga being better this season than multiple players on the final list in this video. Camavinga has played 3 positions this season. He's played CM, DM and LB. He played left-back against Napoli in the UCL, Barça and Girona in La Liga, and Atletico in the Spanish Supercup.
Yea Cama should be top 6 easily…having players like Palmer, Udougie Williams and Zaire above him is just pure madness. None of them would see the Copa Del Rey field if they were at Madrid, much less a starter in the biggest matches
Pedri and Gavi were just mentions so what's the point
This is exactly my point. Most of these players haven’t proven themselves to any reasonable level. Camavinga not on the list and Palmer at number 8 is just wild. Jokers.
Palmer at 8 is absolutely crazy
No J Lingz?
He’s a promising prospect
@@jamesdshannon99he’s not really talented, he just has a good work ethic
@@Deathmare235 no, he’s better than Messi, that’s why they call him Lionel jessi, because Messi only wishes he could be as good as Jesse lingard
@@jamesdshannon99 he’s no where near as good as Messi, he’s only as good as players like walcott and Salah
@@Deathmare235 aye Salah is terrible compared to the goat Jesse lingard

Shoutout to Harvey Elliott, he never gets mentioned in these conversations
Having Tel there instead of him is quite unheardof
@@golyno Nah Tel is better than Harvey, trust me I've watched a lot of both.
@@filly8105 hard to compare, different positions in different leagues
@@filly8105I don’t know about Tel, but Harvey always looks so dangerous on the ball. Especially recently, whenever he’s on the ball around the D, it looks like he’s going to a get a goal or assist. And his numbers in the last couple of months show that.
@@filly8105Agreed. Tel has shown his class with a limited number of minutes. No disrespect to Elliot, but Tel has a much higher ceiling than he does.
malo gusto looking great too
He plays for chelsea
@@Alfc. Yeah, to play brilliantly in a struggling team is even more remarkable. What's your point?
@@Alfc.so who does palmar play for 🤨😂?
I was looking for this comment! He’s an absolute BALLER!
I know he didn't play much games this season, he's quite fresh discovery but Pau Cubarsi in Barcelona is absolutely unreal CB. He's starter for Barcelona, he's their most balanced defender, in his Champions League DEBUT at age 17 he instantly won MOTM award for pocketing Osimhen. In my opinion he's a talent on Lamine Yamal's level. He can do everything - solid defensively, insane in ball distribution, calm as an ice.
On the beginning of game against Napoli Napoli's players thought that he's a youngster debuting in UCL so he's gonna be nervous so they pressured him but quickly realised that's pointless, because he's that good in passing that he was instantly punishing them for leaving their space to pressure him.
Absolutely unreal talent.
Yeah, but not enough at least still have less appearances than Yamal
How is palmer not higher? Its based on THIS season where hes easily top 3 for THIS season. I think hes had a howler and not understood the assignment
Above Wirtz and MUSIALA? too much i believe
Cold Palmer at 8 is criminal
It's really not if you watch other leagues outside the Prem
Not really…
It really is, I know he’s not top 3 but picking players over him for being more asthetic is comical.
Palmer at 8th really is insane he's more like 4th or 5th easily
Not better than emery
😂😂😂
@@yessi1585 he absolutely is. He's got better stats for a mid table team in the EPL compared to the best team in non competitive league
Bro he’s top 3 easy idc
@@thekingswit8109 lad stop with the stats. Goals an assists. He plays as a centre forward. Everything wrong with this generation, emery is a better footballer, just like pedri is
Shoutout Jarell Quansah has looked unreal everytime he plays and didn’t look out of place against treble winners Man City. So calm on the ball for a cb of his age. Probably not played enough this season to be considered but he’ll be in these convos soon
And for that matter, Conor Bradley and Harvey Elliott. Any of those 3 should get a shout at least. Harvey is pretty insane with his work rate but i think Bradley and Quansah have the potential to be the best in the world at their positions in the future
He was bad vs city
@@Baking_bakedBradley has played 5 games
Prem bias again 🤦♂️
@@Noirlore Quansah was incredible against City what are you saying
No mainoo or Garnacho? And so many CBs weren’t even mentioned
Garnacho is good but not nearly as good as any of the players on this list. And Mainoo has 14 starts in the league, so let’s calm down a bit.
tel had 5 starts? dontt think we have to calm down about Mainoo then.,.'@@hy3r691
Honestly mate I think Garnacho is atleast top 5@@hy3r691
@@hy3r691I’ve never seen a youngster like mainoo he intercepts, tackles, plays good progressive passes, dribbles people with ease and never unneeded dribbles either and never loses possesion. He’s incredible
@@hy3r691more than tel
No João Neves or António Silva is an absolute joke, otherwise, great list
They were mentioned.
@@fluff5 not good enough
Palmer is too low😂😂😂
Camavinga has completed club football, can play like 3 different positions at the highest level, and they left him out of the Top 10 U21s in the world. That says it all.
Keep mentioning Palmers goals....how many penalties?!
@@cheahhhh 5 thats 1 less than saka. These pens are in big moments like man city, tottenham and arsenal so what are u talking about he didnt score 5 pens against sheffield united. Palmer must be top 4, much better than simons are u kidding me. Palmer 8 and simons and yamal 4 and 5. What are they watching
he’s too high
@@owenleaper21didn’t ask
Palmer 8th is criminal never even heard of the bloke in 7th 😭 also a lot of these players aren’t under 21 hahah
I love Nico Williams but there is no way palmer is behind him
Change 6th with 8th
You don't watch Nico Williams if you don't see his he is better then palmer. Palmer is cold but not better then Nico
statiscally-wise, Nico may be just behind Cole Palmer this season but what the Spaniard brings to the table in terms of speed, electricity and dribbling is just unmatched
@@haronelghazi9776football is much more than stats. Nico better than Palmer
Palmer is a penalty merchant
@@MiguelSosa-oo6ww just say you are disabled
finally some good guests
Finally u bring someone who has good knowledge about football outside the premier league as well. The only thing I would change is bring Cole palmer up based on this season
To be very honest they are a lot more talented than Palmer
@@Iam_andredan who???
@@Iam_andredan it’s not about talent brother, it’s about performance this season and palmer has been brilliant
@@adityasmenon9 I understand. I would place him higher than nico but that’s it. I think the fact that Palmer has been doing it this year alone and some of these guys have been doing it for Atleast 2 seasons now and in Europe plays a part
@@Iam_andredan but its this season nothing more
Credit to Lamine Yamal, 16 years old, bright young generational talent for sure but surely Cole Palmer has been better this season no? Personally feel like Cole deserves to be top 5 (Liverpool fan).
Surely. Maybe because Yamal is still 16 and doing amazing for that age but overall Palmer deserve
Did these guys really just say Nico Williams is higher rated than Cole Palmer because he is better looking 😂😂
Honestly it's just personal preference, kinda like Hazard vs Salah for me, I know Salah is better but there was just something special about prime Hazard
Think he meant aesthetics as in he’s nice a nice player to watch not because he’s better looking
No branthwaite is jokes
Undateable
@@Renoir.Nah Prime Hazard is miles better..it shouldn't be a comparison but people are quick to forget
Cole Palmer undoubtedly has to be in the top 5. I watch a lot of youth football and I honestly never rated him that much until this season. He has been sensational in the best and hardest league in the world. He can dribble, has great vision, has a brilliant touch and is a great finisher. He affects the game in any part of the pitch.
Dougie is really smart and it‘s refreshing to see people who know what they are talking about
Gusto, same g/a and age as udogie
Defensively Udogie is a lot better.
Palmer at 8 made and the the players ahead of him made me realize that the Chelsea hate is real.
Forgot mainoo garncho hojlund
Exactly at least one of them deserved to be in
@@yaboysam2.064 fr
Mainoo and garnacho are acceptable, but holjund have to be in this list. If you watch him you just see the abilitys of him
@ngolomessi9385 not for me... he hasn't done enough to show that he's one of the top 10 youngsters in world football. Most games he struggles and has zero presence upfront. Unless he scores, which isn't very often, he has zero impact on the game
How is Mainoo not top 6 at least? Almost an anti prem bias these days
Incredible list but pPalmer and Udogie should be higher
As per comments maybe prem bias but as an Arsenal fan Cole Palmer is exceptional, think he's already getting close to Saka's levels and should be much higher on this list!
Dougie did a stinker by putting Cole Palmer that low. I was expecting like a top 3-5.
At first I thought Palmer was too low but by the end I would say 5 or 6 AT BEST.
Dougie Wirtz is waiting for Barca. He has beena barca fan his entire life and his father recently came out saying he will stay at his current club for at least ankther year or two. Thsi is to give barca time to get the transfer money together. If Barca hire Nagelsman or Flick as well that will help having a german coach.
He ain’t joining Barca. It’s bayern or city
@@philk.2355 Or Madrid the vast majority of great players in the modern day end up at one of those three clubs.
@@thetruth46544 but I guess you vardrid fans can’t count
@@Deathmare235literally has a Milan badge
@@Deathmare235Madrid, Bayern and City. Where do you count 4?
Glad to see people finally recognise Florian.
Camavinga should be way more on this list and not Tel.
He’s been so average this season
He maybe costed madrid some games,like game against rayo a draw when vallecano got a pen cuz of him
What as he done this season?😂
Not on this seasons form
@@aron4795 thats what I’m saying
How is mainoo or garnacho not in this list??
Garnacho? come on.
because people who aren’t man united fans see clearly that garnacho is average and mainoo has a lot to prove yet
@@kaynziGarbage talk
@@ezehwisdom2882 110% a man u fan
@@kaynzi Got any prob with that?
Putting a seldom played bench player over the almost ever present and always performing tank that Udogie is. Simply criminal.
They left out Cubarsi (winning back to back Man of the matches and benching Spains number one centre back and pocketing Osimhen, Griezmann, Morata, Depay)💀💀
I know its hard to compare, but imo every player on this list is a better footballer than him
It's just too soon, I love Cubarsi but he's not established yet compared to the rest of the list
he's very mid
And how many minutes of football has he played for Barca this season?
@@Xasew 925 🙃
Finally a guest that watches football.
I would do
10 . Lamine Yamal
9. Nico Williams
8 . Destiny Udogie
7. Mainoo
6. Xavi Simons
5 . Cole Palmer
4 . Warren Zaire-Emery
3. Musiala
2. Wirtz
1. Bellingham
Mate yamal is doing stuff at 16 that messi wasn't doing. And playing for barca....
Savio
@@XJokermanXyou must be 16 with that comment, Messi under 21 was a phenomenon
Yamal has to be top 5, I would even argue 1. Most talented by far
@@manzinin1070 I said 16
Finally Saturday Social got some guests on that know what they’re talking about, although Garnacho should be in over Tel.
Tel has more goals and assists
@@philk.2355 Garnacho is better.
Cama should be over garnacho, so garnacho stays out the list
@@sneakytacos773 agree with that, but don’t agree that Tel is above him.
@@jh55x yeah tel out the list all together, that guy was being different just to be different 🤣
2 great guests!
Loved Dougie on here!! Get him on more!!
Now that's Ball knowledge!
This is a ❤Evely video. Well done!
Wirtz big move this summer to city will take him at par with Bellingham, he is limited by team he play for Bellingham had same numbers when he played for Dortmound, wirtz fit city team to perfection, he will help Foden to play more up the pitch and him taking that central midfield role
Honestly, click on the vid expecting some prem merchant. But this guy really knows what he was talking about
Get Ellis on every week! Archie Gray is cooking this year! Genuinely think he will go on to become one of englands greatest ever players at this rate (if he chooses us over Scotland that is 😂). Incredibly professional for such a young un! MOT ALAW
Palmer most goals + assist for any u21 in top 5 leagues
Can't believe George Ilenikhena didn't get a shout out at the end. To be doing what he's doing at that age in Belgium is very impressive.
He’s very unknown right now, hardly see anyone talking about him.
Awaydays on this is crazy been watching him for years now
Garnacho and Mainoo being absent is just bonkers.
No Garnacho is wild honestly but it's tightly contested so I'll live
Garnacho?
lol
LMAO
😂😂😂 This isn't a bias show
but Tel is in there & he doesn't even start yet Garnacho is a nailed on started for a PL team? Not to mention he just did Liverpool in@@endurance4677
pretty solid list dougie
Pape Sarr honorable mention😄
should have antonio silva on
No harvey elliot?
Have watched about 7 Bilbao games this season and Nico Williams is an amazing young footballer. Definitely too good for that team, should be playing for a top 10 team.
I just would like to make an honorable mention malo gusto is a class player he's amazing
I thought openda over yamal is crazy until I saw zaire over palmer
Good shouts by the guests,but would have Harvey Elliott in for Tel.
Palmer 4th,Xavi 6th,Nico 7th,Elliot 8th,Emery 9th and Udogie 10th.
Finally someone who doesn’t just have premier league bias
Putting palmer at 8th is a sin he should be higher especially when his carrying Chelsea all by himself
Proper ball knowledge this lad has
Udogie is clear of tell
Cole Palmer that low is wild
Garnacho's wonder goal alone should put him at top 5
Palmer should be in top 5
Wirtz is number 1. That's a fact
Shoutout Conor Bradley.
The kid has loads of potential, already playing at an extremely high level.
Overrated.
@@couturecriminal8330 lol whatever you say kid. Football isn’t for you.
Great football knowledge
I think Udogie should be higher given how many young attacking mids and wingers there are now they can't all become the best in the world but for defender/goalkeepers wonderkids have a good chance of being in the top 3 in their position as a kid and can become the best in the world.
The other guy did say something similar too tbf.
Bet nobody mentions Harvey Elliott. Ppl forget he's still 20
Its unfortunate that to be among the best you hv to be an Attacker not defender...and u hv to be having lots of goals and assists..there are better players who hv made a big influence towards their teams success tho hv fewer goals..for example Garnacho generally has performed better than Tel a bench player at bayern.Bradley replacing trent Anorld has been better than tel too bt coz he has less goals and hes a defender,hes not considered.
Why is he talking about these palyers securing national team positions. They are youngsters they aren't expected to do that. Palmer is top 2.
You were literally saying the same things about Cole when you were talking about Lamine Yamal
Cubarsi,pavlovic,estevao,echeverri
Cubarsi is average. main reason Barca dropped a lot of points
Players from European leagues only
@@clauslarsen8971 Calling a 17 year old defender who starts for barcelona average. Welcome to the Internet...

Savio??
if this was monday vibes the baldy would say the opposite abt palmer the switch up is crazyy😭
As soon as dude put palmer 8th - it's done. Add on that putting Nico higher because "his mom crossed the desert" Done.😅
Actually Nico is a much better player than palmer. You kids think football is all about stats
@@BC-mj7gj No, he's actually not. Palmers build up play is fantastic too.
I'm 34 but love the "you kids" comment. Appreciate it mate
@@2mercian89 you don't watch nico and his impact in athletic club, palmer without penanties is nothing
@@footballaddict4263you watching lad or just denying another POTM performance from him?
I think sometimes we get blinded by these super young talents and what they are doing at big name foreign clubs. WZE, Xavi, and Lamine are better footballers and probably have a much higher ceiling than Palmer but they are not having a better individual season. Neves and Savio should also probably be on this list, definitely ahead of Tel and Udogie.
How is Mainoo who just got an england call up at 18 not even mentioned?? - good video other than that
Bro finally someone who isn’t premier league biased I understand and agree that it is the best league but common some of you guys act like is the only one that exists
I think if this video was made after the man united vs liverpool game…Kobe Mainoo will be there…surprised he wasn’t mentioned
from a Tottenham fan palmer is easily in the top 2 and sarr not even on this list is baffling the you have players like that psg lad
Nico Williams to Aston Villa Maybe? If the have champions league football it could be a brilliant signing
More likely see him at spurs than villa I reckon
4 minutes 29 seconds into the video, and Dougie shows his Chelsea agenda. adios. it was a nice 4 minutes. can't wait for the next Saturday social.
The disrespect on Harvey Elliot is amazing to me no one seems to rate him when he is a key player to a team fighting for a treble and been a great player since he was 17 when will he get his flowers
Dougie's knowledge of the game is amazing I'm surprised he's not one of the biggest football creators in the UK
palmer is top 3 easily
most g/a in europe for a u21 player in a struggling side
Pen merchant
Not saying Palmer is bad but that’s because literally everything at Chelsea goes thru him whereas for players like Musiala and Wirtz they have other teammates around him with 10+ g/a so they don’t have the numbers but ability wise they are better
Olise better
cringe @@gianluca1234
Nah
Harvey Elliott has so been around the first team for so long people forget he’s only 20. If you watch him play regularly you know he’s special.
Would defo like Nico Williams at Liverpool! Class player
I guess gavi camavinga and garnacho all don’t exist 🤷♂️
