Camavinga is a great shout. He was literally a LB last season, and was one of the best, not even a bad take at all

He filled in at left back at the end of the season. Anyone who puts him in is recency biased. He’s a centre mid who got put at left back to fill in that is it. He is not a better fullback than Walker, Hakimi, Trent, James, trippier, shaw, cancelo, Robertson, Davies, chilwell, balde, Zinchenko, Hernandez, di lorenzo, estupinan. I’ve probably even missed some that are better than him. But I’ve named 15 better fullbacks so that centre mid isn’t getting into the top 10

Hakimi was one of the best defenders at the World Cup (especially defensively) so I’m not sure how you’ve come to that conclusion. But being a fullback and a little weaker at defending doesn’t make you a bad fullback.

Yeah, they just say big names in decent positions and hope no one calls them out for it. I’ll admit that I only watch PL, but I’d refuse to do a list unless it was only PL players. I remember the guy on the right putting Vlahovic as his 7th best striker in the world last season, or something similar, after he’s actually had a relatively poor season. Still, everyone agreed with him being there, but disagreed with Callum Wilson (and made a big thing out of it), who had the much better season of the two. They do the same for PL players as well tbh, but not as often. Balde was incredible in the very few games I watched him last season. Talented player.

I’m sorry but Kyle Walker is so clear as number 1 right now. Reece James would be but can’t stay fit. Walker is the perfect one on one full back with his pace and physicality. He absolutely pocketed Vini JR in the champions league which is an achievement on its own. And I’m a Liverpool fan so I’ve experienced many times how frustratingly good he is. Best right back in Premier league history and still is at the age of 33.

I don’t think having Trippier 3rd is that bad. A lot of fullbacks had down years and only a few had outstanding years. I think Ake could be a shout for this year. He’s only played there a year, but he was unreal. I think Balde could have made the list as well.
Trippier was class the season prior too and then the year before that was in the Spanish leagues team of the season too. So I'm not sure why that wasn't brought up too

Cancelo historically has been great the past 4 or 5 years. But the past year or so have been horrendous for his rep, City don't want him, Bayern don't want him, he's had a rough time. If he finds the right team he'll bounce back but it's a time of uncertainty for him so it's just unlucky timing for the list really
Tom putting Cancelo 5th and Trent 10th is embaressing. Cancelo was worse than Trent defensively this season and isnt close to him in terms of ability on the ball
