Harry Winks
Lukas Podolski
Freddy Eastwood
Nani
Dean Richards (I assume it's ok to say this now, he's been deid for over eight years)
Memphis Depay
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer (never first choice, good reason why)
Christophe Dugarry
Edinson Cavani
Gonzalo Higuain
George Weah (goalscoring record is actually deeply unimpressive for a supposed superstar...and his most famous goal isn't very good)
Jerome Boateng
Nicolas Otamendi
Jack Grealish

Promise not to turn this into a list of "players I don't like" :D

Thats all it will be though. Whenever an overrated thread is started it essentially becomes "I think they are shit" rather than overrated in the end.

Why don't you talk me through the career of Iker Casillas...
 
Scott Parker
Wayne Hennessey
Glen Johnson
Eric Dier
Jordan Pickford

Probably loads more that I’ve watched but can’t think off
 
Simon Osborn. Wolverhampton hide and seek Champion 1995-2001

Don't think he was particularly rated (except by Trips)!

He was the target of most criticism in the stands until Lee "Bloody Hell Naylor" Naylor turned up, and even that took a while to materialise.

Scandalous really when we were frequently playing Corica AND Ferguson alongside him. That's like asking me to collaborate on a book with Jamie Essex and Greg Halford.
 
We did have a collection of charlatans during that mid to late 90’s era.
 
I can think of a left back to stick in here!
 
Probably wouldn't work in the modern game. Sublime footballer, can't ever blame him for sticking to what he enjoyed. Happiness is more important than money. Much like Bully, was probably on miles more than anyone else at the club so who cares. Unlike Bully, probably needed a team set up around him.

I always felt Merson was a better footballer if we're talking about largely ignored (by England) attacking midfielders.
 
Kevin Nolan can get in this category. Fat deluxe Dave Edwards. A total prick on the pitch as well.
 
And his mate Andy Carroll too while I'm at it.

His PL record, season by season:

4 (0)
4 (0)
14 (3)
26 (13)
35 (4)
26 (7)
15 (2)
14 (5)
27 (9)
18 (7)
16 (3)
12 (0)

Literally one good season, ever.
 
David Luiz has to be added to this list also.
I’d say Xakha but even Arsenal fans know he’s shit.
 
Harry Maguire
Jesse Lingard
Declan Rice (in his current position)
 
Yeri Mena, Gylfi Sigurdsson, Delle Alli
