See if you can guess the 5 players (from the top 5 leagues) with the most nutmegs so far this season.

Top 5 Most Nutmegs
- Thread starter Pogue Mahone
- Start date
I could only guess one. Surprised he was top of the list.
Yeah, I thought Rashford would be on that list along with Neymar, didn't think Rashford would top that list but then again Neymar's ben hurt as always.
This article also shows how useless nutmegs are to keep as a stat, writing how Diaby made the list and yet is having his poorest season in dribble success.

No shock really, He was well up on the list a couple of weeks back anyway
Didn't take long for this. Is it because Rashford is top?
I mean, it doesn't really translate to anything does it?
Apart from bragging rights of course
Think if you finished read instead of stopping where you stopped it will give you his "because". It's right there.
Nutmegs mean more than goals in 5-a-side
Neymar
Sancho
Rashford
Raphinha
Messi
Edit - got 3 out of 5. Not really surprised since they’re all good dribblers. Only one I had doubts about in my list was Messi, I kinda just threw his name there without conviction, I know he’s flabby these days, I just couldn’t think of someone else I’ve seen regularly putting players in a blender.
Sancho
Rashford
Raphinha
Messi

They should mean more than goals in the Champions League. I fecking love nutmegs.
I think you’ve taken it far too seriously
Remember reading this stat couple of days back and Rashford was topping it.
Most famous nutmeg should be of O'Shea.
It's a measure of a player's skill and confidence, I suppose.
Un-hun.
Neymar
Rashford
Mbappé
Saint-Maximin
Bruno
I'm going to check now.

What a weird response.
I think the post you quoted contradicts you.
Rashford doesn't get enough recognition for improvements in his dribbling this year due to his decision-making; but he's gone up a level.
I do love the meg, even if it’s the most useful piece of skill. Though I did remember Marcus from last game where he megamegged that poor Swedish LB and then scored through his legs to prove it can be quite useful sometimes. But mostly I guess it’s more a symptom of technique, and courage, than important in itself.
I was guessing Sancho, Messi, St-Maximin, M’Bappe, and had Marcus as a dark horse. Forgot all about Neymar (how hurt he’ll be about that!
)
I’m impressd with Marcus, leading Sancho both in nutmegs and successfull dribles.

Ronaldinho said he never watched his goals back but always his nutmegs, Rashford making us proud
Next up: Top 5 no-look passes.
No one looked at those
Ok but show us the videos
I wish the commentators would make more of nutmegs. Picture Gary Neville screaming “oh no he didn’t” down the mic
They're not useless. They show that Diaby is very good at nutmegs and not so much at other forms of dribbling. A coach might interpret that as meaning he is spending too much time one nutmegs and might then advise that he develop a varied training routine.
It's a cultural thing I think.They rarely even sho,w replays of it in the PL whereas in LaLiga games,they do
And the players too. After a really good nutmeg both teams fling themselves on the ground with their hands on their heads.
Am I in there? I used to get about five a training session when I was playing and at least two in a match.
Made playing in goal more exciting to be honest. Lol

I'd love to see a list of the most megged players
