Fabio is a drogs legend .He is one of our longest serving players who puts in 100 % every time. He scored 16 goals last season despite being sidelined with a broken jaw for a couple of months..

Heary, Cahill and O'Brien would walk onto most sides in the league. By eircom League standards, quality players.

Suprised no-one has mentioned Zayed. Always thought he was fairly muck and he was found out when he went to drogheda

Robbie Brunton.

Jury's out I'd say. He has a lot to prove this year.

Dan Murray, Richie Baker, John Paul Kelly, Eamon Zayed

Zayed is total muck. Can't see him doing much this season to be honest.

Mark Farren. The Baker brothers - Dessie and Richie. Steve Williams.

Just to let yous know lads while were on the topic of over rated and under rated players visit the gaming forum on this and help Tazskool by telling him your views on under rated players in football manager.

Cheers

Just because you lot messed up and let him go . He was the best Derry player in the last 6 weeks of the league, once he got his fitness back.

Thats his biggest handicap. When he misses a couple of chances (especially in bigger games) his head drops & virtually no chance he'll score then.

He makes some awful howlers as well - more than once I've seen him miss open goals. It's all very well when the team is built around you and you bang in lots of goals over the course of a full season but I can't see the friendly Cardiff fans giving him many chances unless he hits the ground running.

Kevin Hunt had a terrible season last year as he had alot of problems both personal and with the spoofer but on his day he is one of the best players in the league.

Byrne is worse than useless.......... - 3 leagues, top socrer for 4 seasons on the spin - are you sure you have the right sport?

IMO he is under-rated by many City fans. A few high profile mistakes aside he was excellent last year & better than Premiership rated Bennet. Has become a proper capatain on the pitch & chipped in with 5-6 leagues as well as crucial CL away goal.

Current overrated El players:
*Deery
*Alan Moore
*Singh
*Joxer
*Pat McCourt(amazing on his day but far too inconsistent)
* Zayed

Zayed & Colin Hawkins

Fantastic last year and our player of the year-prone to the odd howler but generally makes up for them, and chips in with the goals too

Does anyone still rate Hawkins (apart from Lazy Journalists)?
