    Who is the most overrated player at your club?

    Sterling. Might be harsh because he's only 17, but the media have jumped on the bandwagon after a few good performances. Great future? yes, but great player who should've been capped by England? No

    Who is the most overrated player in the league?

    Nasri. He's had a good spell at Arsenal playing just behind the striker but he's just not the same player on the wing. Don't rate him that highly whatsoever.

    Who is the most underrated player at your club?

    Henderson. I think he was harshly criticised last season and probably played too much games, especially out of position. But he has developed some balls this season and has improved a lot where I believe he should be starting more games.

    Who is the most underrated player in the league?

    Zabaleta. Just consistent throughout for Man City. Just reminds me so much of Arbeloa, where his strengths of defending isn't praised enough

    Who is the most overrated player at your club?

    Phil Jones - Maybe he isn't anymore that much, but was certainly overrated for quite a while. Lot's of talent but many obvious chinks.

    Who is the most overrated player in the league?

    Gareth Bale - Got to be him right now. I mean he's a very good player and a super athelete but he's no Ronaldo or among the best players in the world.

    Who is the most underrated player at your club?

    Michael Carrick - Is pretty underrated especially for a English player in England. Been very crucial to how we play in recent times and should be in the England team.

    Who is the most underrated player in the league?

    Sandro Ranieri - Tough to pick this one as there are a few. Weiman, Bannan at Villa, Angel Rangel at Swansea, Nani/Carrick/Valencia at United etc.. but will go with Sandro here. Doesn't get as much hype as others at Spurs but is quality and crucial for them. Good passer and takes up good positions plus is pretty strong too.

    Don't think Nani's underrated tbh. Agree with the rest though, especially with Carrick.

    Who is the most overrated player at your club?
    Jelavic. Great, instinctive finisher and everything but his start hasn't continued yet he still remains to get a lot of praise. I really do like him but he's not as good as a few of our fans like to make out.

    Who is the most overrated player in the league?
    Darren Fletcher. A player who, somehow, managed to go from under-rated to over-rated.

    Who is the most underrated player at your club?
    Leighton Baines. By a mile. And that's a testament to his ability because everyone rates him but he's better that what the majority think.

    Who is the most underrated player in the league?
    Cabaye. Magic.

    Tricky one.. not sure Liverpool's players are really rate much at all apart from the top ones. I'd probably go Reina.
    Right now, Paul Scholes. Maybe Christian Benteke or Demba Ba. Marouane Fellaini at CAM.
    Jordan Henderson, what mouse said.
    Mohamed Diame maybe? Although he's being fairly rated these days I guess. Laurent Koscielny, maybe? Sandro & Carrick are both good calls as well.

    EDIT: There's no way Baines or Cabaye are underrated, surely.

    Honestly don't think to many Spurs players are overrated, I am consistently dissapointed by Dempsey, Gallas and Ade, so maybe one of them. Bale is an interesting one and someone like Lennon for all his good points that people rate still can't put a decent ball into the box.
    Who is the most underrated player at your club?Sandro = Beast, maybe Assou Akotto, i rate him, probs more as an attacking back though.

    Who is the most underrated player in the league? Fucks me.

    I don't know about Cabaye but Baines is criminally under-rated.

    I really don't think he is anymore. Maybe two seasons ago or maybe even last year, though.

    He's rated highly, no doubt but not close enough to where he should be.

    overrated in the prem:

    Clint dempsey, Demba Ba, jelavic

    underrated:

    Berbatov (people seem to have forgtten him for last couple years)
    Diaby (when fit, such a beast)
    collocini
    Lallana

    Yeah, would say Baines is rated, but not as highly as he should do

    Maybe going slightly overboard, but I'll say he's the best LB in the league

    Cabaye is a difficult one. He's rated, but just shows how much Newcastle need him in midfield to make them tick, so people probably appreciate him now, with them struggling so badly.

    Think he's regarded as such by most atm.

    Who's the competition ?

    Cole and BAE (before his injury)

    Robert Huth is pretty under-rated

  20. Uppercut CB Faldo

    Who is the most overrated player at your club?

    Rooney. Clever positioning and a great finisher but his link-up play and technique can be really, really poor. People have been a bit more realistic about his ability this season but he still hasn't escaped the whole "Messi, Ronaldo, Rooney" thing.

    Who is the most overrated player in the league?

    Balotelli. His erratic behaviour seems to distract people from the fact that he isn't actually especially good. His non-existent movement makes life a lot easier for the other team's defence and a lot harder for his strike partner, and if he plays you can forget about any kind of high pressing game.

    Who is the most underrated player at your club?

    Evans and Carrick have both improved a lot in the past two seasons but haven't quite managed to shed the hate-figure status.

    Who is the most underrated player in the league?

    Tough one, probably someone foreign who does a lot of their best work when the other team has the ball. Song never got enough credit and neither do Lucas, Sandro or Mikel but I think the most underrated is probably Arteta because he has the passing/set piece/shooting game to go with all the tackles and interceptions he puts in.
