Neymar has been somewhat overrated and underrated for years now. How is that possible? Well, rising through the ranks at Santos and scoring unbelievable amounts of goals saw his stock rise immeasurably. He became the new poster boy for Brazilian football, though many felt he needed to prove himself in a tough league. Now he's part of the most lethal front three in world football, and still young enough to improve for years to come. There are still people who haven't shaken off the overrated tag, but you only need to watch him in a Barcelona shirt to understand that he is a terrific talent, and managed 55 goals and 10 assists in 68 appearances for both club and country.
