Trivia thread, the revival

[Evilo]

Haha exactly!
But don't bet against them. Everyone had them losing to Bayer.

 

[Evilo]

Here's an interesting stat, but since it's hard I'll give a clue with the nationality of every player.

Name the top 10 players in terms of successful dribble % since 2009

1- Italy
2- Ivory Coast
3- Spain
4- Spain
5- France
6- Germany
7- Croatia
8- Argentina
9- France
10- France

Name the top 10 players in terms of successful dribble % since 2009

Is there a minimum number of dribbles needed to qualify? Basically there won't be a player on this list that has 100% completion on 4 dribbles attempted.

 

[Evilo]

It's not written but on that list, nobody has less than 450 tried.

 

[Wee Baby Seamus]

I'll take a stab, and likely go 0/10

1- Berardi
2- Zaha
3- Yamal
4- Williams
5- Coman
6- Musiala
7- Perisic
8- Messi
9- Pogba
10- Dembele

 

[Evilo]

You got 1!


1- Italy
2- Ivory Coast
3- Spain
4- Spain
5- France
6- Germany
7- Croatia
8- Argentina
9- France
10- Pogba 65.3%


Hint #2 : think midfielders since attackers tend to have a lesser %.

I was thinking wingers because of dribble volume! I wasn't sure how many midfielders had hit the 450 threshold.

Going hard on pressing resistance:

1- Verratti
2- Toure
3- Iniesta
4- Busquets
5- Valbuena
6- Kroos
7- Kovacic
8- di Maria
9- Payet

 

[KJS14]

I'll also take a stab knowing that I'm probably way off too, but hopefully the hint helps

1 - Verratti (cmon its Evilo)
2 - Yaya Toure
3 - Iniesta
4 - Pedri
5 - Ben Arfa (Evilo wouldn't make a dribbling list without him too)
6 - Sane
7 - Modric
8 - Di Maria
9 - Griezmann
10 - Pogba (confirmed)

 

[robertmac43]

Hmm this is tough. All the names I'm thinking of take on a lot of defenders.

1- Italy - Insigne (TFC Till I die...LOL)
2- Ivory Coast - Gervinho (Shoutout to the Fifa Legend)
3- Spain - David Silva
4- Spain - Iniesta
5- France - Mbappe
6- Germany - Ozil
7- Croatia - Modric
8- Argentina - Messi
9- France - Pogba
10- France - Benzema

Just saw the Pogba confirmation - flip him and Benz

 

[Savant]

I’d imagine Ribery is on this

 

[Evilo]

Some more...

1- Verratti 76,9%
2- Yaya Toure 72,6%
3- Spain
4- Spain
5- France
6- Germany
7- Modric 66,7%
8- Argentina
9- France
10- Pogba 65.3%

Nope to all the other names!

A few more hints :
3 is a winger. 6 too.
Some names are VERY surprising.

 

[robertmac43]

Is one of the Spanish spots for Thiago Alcântara?

 

[Evilo]

Yup the ever efficient Thiago!

1- Verratti 76,9%
2- Yaya Toure 72,6%
3- Spain
4- Thiago 71.0%
5- France
6- Germany
7- Modric 66,7%
8- Argentina
9- France
10- Pogba 65.3%

[robertmac43]

3 is a winger. 6 too.

Pedro for 3?

 

[Evilo]

Nope.
It's a very very very surprising name.
Active. Sometimes dribbling isn't about technique.

 

[Savant]

Nope.
It's a very very very surprising name.
Active. Sometimes dribbling isn't about technique.

Is it about how much baby oil you have?
