  1. If MacAllister was French , English or Spanish then he would be top 3 contenders easily. This guy’s IQ, positioning, passing and finishing is very underrated. If he plays in a more attacking role than a deep lying midfielder he will be more lethal but since he is the top 3 CMs in the world his coaches are forced to play him deep

    • Big talent with surprisingly good defensive skills AND composure in passing so his final position could be an attacking 8 imo like Pedri (maybe a long term solution after De Paul) rather than an inverted winger (his speed and acceleration is average for that, Echeverri and even Almada are more explosive in that 10 role) dribbling and shooting seems good too.
