@@barry4649 I remember watching Bazunu play against us at Turner's Cross when he was at Rovers. The lad saved a bottom corner pen. He moved to city not too long after that. We've a lot of quality young lads coming through in the Ireland squad now and I'm really optimistic for the next few years.
Omobamidele has been sold short here. He’s been outstanding for Ireland this season and by the looks of it has been really good for Norwich when he plays.
Hudson Odoi's chance creation and ball progression numbers for someone as young has him is actually insane. He's finally got consistent starts lately and hasn't put a foot wrong. Only thing left is adding goals to his game. There is still more than enough time.
@@shawnt8850 He is in the top 10% for expected assist. But he is not in top 2% percent for progressive passes, I think u mean Progressive Carries. Either way this is the Muriel effect where he's played less than 1000 minutes so these types of numbers should be taken with a grain of salt.
Dude was looking soooo phenomenal before the injury…. It really took me by surprise. He now features in all of my FIFA career modes lol, and I train him as a cm like Koop had him playing before that terrible injury Silly stuff aside, you’re right. His age is staggering, and football gods willing, his career picks up right where it left off! I’m surely pulling for him.
Hey Alfie!! Big fan from the Philippines!! I have a suggestion, maybe a video as to why Seria A/Italian clubs always have a loan or 2 season long loans before they sign the player for an obligatory fee? As this is pretty unique to Serie A or Italian football compared to the other countries & leagues. Also why they use really high squad numbers (not that it matters, just found that interesting)
I think that's due to the fact that Serie A clubs have a tighter budget than other clubs due to Italian financial regulations, so they use loan deals to amortize the price of the player thorough various seasons.
@@ciudadano1995 Very good point! It's one of the strategies clubs (especially the biggest ones) have adopted in order to restore their financial power at least in some form, together with "creative finance", although some of these plans were actually meant to sneak through the rules and, as a result, didn't always turn out too nicely... I actually don't know the reason why squad numbers are often so high, but that's worth investigating, for sure! : D
The expectation on younger players is so high at the moment with the ridiculously inflated prices. Late bloomers don't get half the credit they deserve in comparison
You're by far my favorite TH-camr. Your pronunciations and fact check are just amazing. The way you've put so much effort in getting African names as right as you can is just unbelievable. Good job, really. 👑
It's a shame that Rak-Sakyi got just one appearance for Palace because the next youngest player is Michael Olise who I think would be much higher up this list, having scored once and provided 2 assists in just over 180 minutes of total playing time.
Tho I think Rak-Sakyi has ridiculous potential. He’s been lighting up the youth game for the u18s and u23s, plus he looked great in the preseason. Alfie did him dirty putting him in 20th, I’d say he should be more like ~15th.
Bukayo Saka!! Amazing!! Love him!! Has bounced back for the abhorrent abuse he received after the Euros. Takes a lot of character that. He's at a club that love him and support him.
Never understood why this “abuse” thing draws attention only for certain players while others who receive far more abuse are never mentioned. After Spain lost at the Euros, some spaniards threatened Morata to kill his children because he missed a pen, but no, everybody is talking about “”””poor”””” Saka
@@NorthingsDellas I’m not talking about a pain contest, it is more about the hiprocrisy of the fans who “”””feel bad”””” for a certain player for a reason, yet they don’t give a shit about other players that are put through the same bullshit. Why hasn’t Saka become a meme after the Euro final disaster? Morata has been a meme and a mockery for years while receiving tremendous abuse yet nobody virtue signalled about his situation. Look at Sancho. He missed the pen, he is a disaster in the PL and yet nobody is mocking him.
@@danielevans5286 So in your sick and twisted mind being called racial slurs is worse than threatening the lives of some innocent and helpless children?
Elliott's injury was such a shame, he seemed to fit into liverpool's midfield comfortably despite his young age. I just hope he returns the same player he was before his injury.
You should do a video on the cover athletes for fifa/pes/efootball and the season they had after becoming a cover athlete. I recall Jack Wiltshire being a cover athlete one year
Maybe it could be a series with each video focusing on a game's regional covers as well? Here in NA, we didn't have Jack Wilshere but Landon Donovan and Rafa Marquez alongside Wayne Rooney that year

Hi Alfie, I have a video suggestion for you. Junior Messias has seemed to have had a bit of an extraordinary career, a delivery driver and semi professional player only a handful of years ago scored today against Atletico Madrid in the UCL for Milan. I think an in detail video on his rise would be fantastic 👍
"Lewis Dobban was born before Wayne Rooney's Everton debut" think you mean after, cause my 88 year old grandma was born alot before Wayne Rooney's Everton debut too :P
As an arsenal fan I just see Luke Thomas as a player that needs a lot of worked defensively. I remember Pepe playing him off the field within a half and saka having his way with him as well
While I am 19 I think there is no hope for me to become the youngest player for a Premier League team as I haven't had a match in the last 19 years. Maybe I have a better chance with the suggestion: Day 28: Top 7 protest clubs (FC United of Manchester, AFC Liverpool).
Omobamidele has definitely been better this season but hopefully both play for the boys in green for years to come along with Bazunu, Knight, Ferguson, Cullen etc
This just makes me sad 😭😭 as a child I used to dream of playing football but had to quit because of family financial stability and now all these people are my age!
