Are English football/ soccer players overrated?

[King Belieal]

Some people believe that English footballers are not worth the hype they get. They feel the English media tends to over hype their players to inflate their valuation. I might believe this because it is a very long time an English footballer won the Balloon D' Or. Not even the FIFA best player has been recently won by an English footballer.

Do you consider English players overrated?

I don't follow football but I am aware of few good Footballers and none in English so I assume they are overrated like I see how they do with England cricketers

This is true because the English players are not that strong, but the English Championship is strong because they buy the best players, that's why there are so many strong teams that can compete with each other. And in this problem, sometimes a very strong team can take a low place and not even get into the Eurocups

I am not really a football fan and I do not follow the latest happenings when it comes to football, but I do believe it is possible. These days it's all about strategy.

The English media are known to always overhype their players. That is most of them find it hard to bag individual awards. You will hear ridiculous transfer fees for an English player with nothing whatsoever to his name.

The English media knows how to package a player and boost his valuation. They can pull out useless stats to launder their players and put it in your face. Many managers are wiser now and are not falling for the trick.

I don't think that they are overrated at all. One thing that I know is that there are good players there such as Harry Kane, Saka and Palmer. These guys are playing really good football.

Some of them are overrated and that has made them not to put the efforts needed to becoming better players. It can really be difficult when players fail to work harder.

 

[Mariko]

It is not only the English football players that are overrated. It is something that is happening all over the world because of the way the press get involved in trying to overhype players.
