5 overrated players in the Premier League right now

#5. David Luiz (Chelsea)

David Luiz

David Luiz probably makes it into the all-time list of most overrated footballers. Sure, on his day he makes a really solid centre-back, but the phrase to be highlighted here is "on his day" - which comes once in a blue moon. The Brazilian continues to turn in nothing more than mediocre performances for his Chelsea side and had even fallen out of the pecking order for a while.

Luiz has a penchant for spellbinding passes and possesses a freekick routine that most professional top-flight strikers can only wish for, but these are just some extra candyfloss that comes with the package and it sure masks his problems in his base trade, i.e. defending. One immediately remembers the summer of 2014 when he completed a €50 million move from London to Paris SG and almost immediately went on to become Brazil biggest liability in their shocking 7-1 loss to Germany in the World Cup semis.

Nearly five years later, we have had a shift of rulers at the helm of International football, but things with Luiz still haven't changed - except for one part. Chelsea bought him back from PSG and he continues to perform in his exact same way like back then. Can't really see where all his high rated-ness comes.
