Which Nigerian player qualifies to be in Africa best 11 right now (if any)?

If you can, just post your pwn best African 11 here

Guinea under 17 disqualified from the under 17 World cup for fielding overage players. Senegal will take their place.

Hello house,

I think it is high time we all agree to a particular unit/system of measurement when it comes to certain issues like player rankings.

The words below average, average, above average, top player, excellent player, world class, legend etc should be well defined and where possible mathematically proofed/backed up.

Reason for this is simple.
I believe anyone who has grouped our players into classes has done so using his/her personal metrics which is based on their understanding and perception which might not be generally acceptable.

The rating done in football is often on scale of {0-10} or {0%-100%} which afford the no 5 and 50 to be average mark.

A pundit who uses 0-10scale can easily group players in to 5 classes {POOR(0-2.49), BELOW AVERAGE (2.50-4.99), AVERAGE(5), ABOVE AVERAGE(5.10-7.49) AND WORLD Class (7.5-10) while any one who uses just 1-3 or will likely have (BELOW AVERAGE, AVERAGE And WORLD Class) which is limited when the pool of players is much and wide.

If I were to use the 0-10 scale,

None of our players will make it to the World Class group. I repeat none. I'll place Ndidi in the 'top' of THE ABOVE AVERAGE group alongside Mikel, Iwobi slightly below them in the same group,
The rest bunch of average and below average players.

The World Class tag should only be left for the very few players that are consistently churning out great stats season in season out. The likes of Aguero, KDB, Modric, Chielini, VVD, Ramos, Kante Neymar, Cavani Suarez, Ibrahimovich, De Gea, Lloris, Mbappe, Salah, etc led by Messi and Ronaldo who occupy the very Top.) won't class the likes of Pogba, Vardy, Auba, as World Class,they might be close but they ain't.

On the other hand. The word LEGENDARY IS RELATIVE! A player does not necessarily have to be world class to be a Legend. Even Green Forest FC(smiles) have their own Legends. Legendary status can be achieved via Loyalty, No of years of service, contribution etc. It can be attained either at club level or international level. Some players are lucky to have both. Bobby Charlton, Pirlo, Maradona, Pele etc

Morgan, Vardy, are Leicester Legends but not world class, Keshi, Mikel are Nigeria legends but not world class!

I hope this proposition and examples will help resolve various misconception and also save us from series of back and forth arguments.

Ndidi is bang average

Earthquake3:
I think someone who has won most tackles and recoveries two seasons in a row has the right to be referred to as world class

Another angle is anyone at Leicester city world class?
