9 Most Overrated Players In World Football Right Now

3. Hulk

If there is one player who plays as though he's threatening to doing so much, yet produces so little, it's Hulk. The 28-year-old is one of the best examples of a luxury player you could ever wish to find. He first came to the public eye during his time at Porto in the latter part of the 2000s, where his hammer of a left foot, stocky physique and eye for the spectacular could be very effective. The problem was, he blew hot and cold all the time. He joined Zenit St Petersburg for ‚60m in 2012; a quite frankly ridiculous sum of money for a player who can pretty much only cut inside from the right and hit and hope. Of course sometimes it will come off, and the ball will fly into the top corner, but more often than not, a spectator catches it and another Zenit move peters out. He was very poor for Brazil at this summer's World Cup, and his lack of work-rate and inconsistency played a big role in the hosts' ultimately disastrous campaign. Like many players on this list, there is a huge amount of talent at Hulk's disposal, but he looks so much more menacing than he actually is. A vastly overrated footballer, earning five times more than he deserves to be.
