Last debate was is he a dm or b2b, nobody ever mentioned playmaker stuff.

Whatever the category, this needs to be solved. I wouldn't expect most people to leave him outside of a top 30, so where except playmaker would they put him? Seems like a Nesta type of problem again.
@Šjor Bepo what all drugs do you do?
Only accidents, crimes, wars, will still kill us but unfortunately, crimes, wars, will multiply. I love football. Thank you.
Is it the Busquets omission?
TBF I completely forgot about Der Kaiser as I don't of him as a midfielder. On a historic note did he play midfield outside the 66' World Cup? But as Synco said we need to sort out where to put him
He doesn't. That's the main worry.
He played in midfield for the NT until 1970, so in two of his three world cups. For Bayern he switched to libero some years earlier. But he already appeared in the Ballon d'Or list in 1965 (Bayern's final Regionalliga season), and was a top 5 regular as a full- or part-time midfielder.
Somehow forgot about him, since he had already received his due earlier. Are people happy with him as a playmaker or should we include him in B2B as soon as possible?
Thanks for the info
We need to exclude players who have been eligible in one list from all other lists, as simple as that.
Agreed.
Thought we'd already agreed that principle.
Der Kaiser should really be DM/B2B not a playmaker. IIRC he became more of a playmaker when he settled in the libero role not when he still regularly in midfield
Wassup with Desailly?
Featured only in 2 out of 5 lists and in 18th/21st in those two too.
Is it his appearance in stoppers list?

Overrated player IMO and had a relatively limited passing range to be considered a GOAT midfielder
Personally i think he was much better as a defender(think i had him in top 3 there), saying that even though he is around 20 mark he is only behind makelele as pure dms and thats by one spot.
Just realized Van Hanegem is blocked in B2B list as well. Doesn't make sense to me.
Surprised not to see Paulo Roberto Falcao. Nice series of threads.
It was decided he would go in the CM playmaker list
Thanks for the answer. I can understand the thinking.
Just noticed who all have picked Kante in Top 30 do not have Essien and vice versa 
Personally I rate Kante as Essien-lite at best.

They are quite comparable. Kante was the best mid in the league for back to back league wins with different teams and had an outstanding world cup winning campaign. Essien maybe has a larger body of work but individually Kante impacts a team more overall.Just noticed who all have picked Kante in Top 30 do not have Essien and vice versa

@Edgar Allan Pillow I swear, you post at least 1 ineligible player in every list Monti is too old.

Changed the order a bit too.
Added in Cambiasso who's very underrated.
@harms is Beckenbauer eligible for this? I have to reorder mine as well if he is..
He's in midfield playmakers.
Is he? I thought we had the discussion a few weeks ago. There are at least three top 30 B2B lists with him in
Did we came to any conclusion? Genuine question.
yeah, as Physio said I noticed him in couple of the lists so far. To me if he's to be included he definitely needs to be in this category but can't find it in the eligible players.
Actually no. Synco said playmakers and me and Bepo said B2B. Then the discussion ended. I assumed people were happy with it as Der Kaiser then started to appear in the lists of posters
If the Kaiser is joining this list, we probably need to tag everyone as otherwise his ranking will be meaningless.
Yup. Where would you put him?
This. There's no perfect solution, so he's going to playmakers just because we need to choose one option.
You are right mate, but no one gives a feck. So shut the feck up and upload your list.
i see beam has another happy customer, welcome!
