I'm actually quite surprised I can't think of anyone better than Martial for 1995. Not that many great players from this year or am I forgetting about someone?

Yeah, pretty much everyone I though of was born in 94 or 96. Kimmich is the best one I found for 1995.

Kluivert was born on the exact same day as van Nistelrooij. In the Netherlands I would say he is more highly rated altough that could be the usual Ajax bias. Ronaldo of course far better than them both.

Why the hell is Freddy Adu there? :lol:

My birth year, 1984, is Iniesta, without a doubt.
