I actually reckon the back four is better now. Front two are miles off though!
My team would be:
Lehmann > Raya. Raya has the distribution but thats about it. Lehmann wins
Lauren > White. Lauren is a better natural RB than White, as good defensiverly but better offensively, especially dribbling
Saliba > Toure. Toure played as a RCB, Saliba is better than Toure.
Campbell > Gabriel. This one isn't even a competition Campbell all day.
Cole vs Timber. I believe Timber will be totally dominant at ful back, moreso than Cole, so I am calling it a draw until I see more from him.
Saka > Ljungberg. Different players/roles, Saka is more offensive, i give Saka the very slight edge.
Gilberto vs Partey. I already had this discussion, both on form I give the slight edge to Partey but due to injuries I call a draw.
Vieira > Rice. At this stage I have to give the edge to Vieira. Rice has better discipine but Vieira's all round dominance of opponents wins
Pires > Martinelli. Not even close.
Henry > Havertz. Not even close.
Bergkamp > Odegaard. Not close.
Tomiyasu > Keown. Only hindrance here for Tomi is fitness
Kiwior > Cygan. Kiwior can play ball
Parlour > Zinchenko. Zinchenko is awful defensively, Parlour wasn't
Edu > Jorginho. Edu used to be one of my favourite players. More dominant than Jorginho
Reyes > Vieira. Not even close.
Kanu > Jesus. Not close
Trossard > Wiltord. Wiltord never came close to repeating his form in France.
