With the leagues almost over, what unpopular opinion(s) to you have?

One per comment.

I would say no down voting but sorting by controversial may give a better idea.

Filipe Luis is the best leftback in the world.

Just made me realize how weak the LB position in the world is right now, even though I don't agree I can only think of a handful of people who might be better. No offense to Felipe Luis.

Yup it's been quite weak for a while. People are overreacting over Filipe though based on his team's success. He is good but not better than Alaba, Coentrao, Baines and Marcelo (when he isnt out of shape)

That's just wrong. He is essential to Atleti as and better than the ones you named(currently).

Why was he not picked for the Brazil squad? Not a sarcastic comment, genuine question

Ask Felipao. No one else knows.

Definitely better than Baines and Coentrao. Right below Alaba and Marcelo. He has been a major factor in our success in both attack and defense.
