Which player will dominate football in the next decade?

I don't think anyone's going to stand out as nearly as much as Ronaldo and Messi did as the top of the top. Mbappe, Haaland, Fati, Foden, Vinicius are all names we'll keep an eye on as exciting talent. I don't see anyone paying much long term attention to the defensive talents on the list.
Aaron wan bissaka, van de beek, and sancho.
I think it'll be more like the decade prior to Messi and Ronaldo where different players excelled every year.
Mbappé. Obviously Mbappé
Mbappé I think. Not because I think he's a lot better than the others but because I think he'll join Real Madrid, be their main man, and consistently score against the weaker La Liga teams. I think he'll win more than the others as a result and consistently be up for the big awards.
There is no player in the world with Messi level of talent / or Ronaldo level of drive.
Mbappe and Haaland look like top class but just a level below are all the listed players + Greenwood, who I think could reach that top class level as he's already doing wonders in amazingly shite team.

Definitely Ryan Gravenbergh.
Emile Smith Rowe is a class player whose maturity and decision making is way beyond his years. I'd liken him to a young Iniesta.
I'd be happy if the next 10 BdO's were won by 8-10 different players.
Yeah, because Wesley Fofana is more likely to dominate world football.
Sulemana could be a top 10 player in Europe. Looks to be one of the best dribblers out there and is adding goals to his game.
The sort of signing Liverpool would make..

Don't think his body is going to play along. I expect him to have a Robben type of career. Great whenever he's fit, but poised to miss out 50% of the games.
Lingard
Someone from City or Liverpool.
Mbappé and Haaland have actually done as much as Messi and Ronaldo really in their teens/early 20s, so who knows. They need to seriously accelerate now though if they're going to be that level.
I realise it's a list in no particular order but what right does Sako have being anywhere near that list let alone the first name on it
Haaland. He's a freak.
When Mbappe gets out of PSG I think it’s gonna end up being him
I'd still back Mbappé. It's fascinating that people talk about him declining considering that he just had the most productive season of his career, dominating in Europe as well as in France. Haaland is an obvious choice for the runner up spot.
And he's going to be boosted by the inevitable move to Real Madrid.

Don't think there will be any. Mbappe and Haaland aren't as good as their goal counts suggest and people will realize at some point that there's much more to football than scoring.
Moreover, there doesn't seem to be any prodigy of Messi levels around that could stand out. Sancho, Felix, Wirtz, Foden, Greenwood, Havertz, Musiala, Fati, Vinicius, Pedri, etc. all have what it takes to become the best in this generation and most likely it will be much closer than in the previous decade. Similar to how it was before Cristiano won his first Ballon Dor

Julián Álvarez
Fun fact: Jota was probably the player Benfica fans had most hopes for. In youth teams and B team he was by far the best player, even better than João Félix. Hope he can still make it.
Sancho as wingback 
He is probably better than Rashford now tbh.
Haaland is going to be a world beater.
I think he is better than the others for the most part. That’s why he’s joining Real Madrid and they’re not.
Häland has a very good chance of being the best CF for a 10 year stretch if he continues to develop. Mbappe I am not so sure about, I kind of get Neymar vibes about him in that he'll be excellent but just off the top few for a variety of issues but the main one being attitude.
However, this is all guess work, there will be a player out there between 16-21 that we don't know much about right now that will accelerate like crazy in the next few years.

Complete nonsense
I'm wondering if Foden is better than Mbappe, and I can't compare to Haaland because I haven't seen enough of him.
Sadly Greenwood is far from all 3, maybe with better coaching he can get on their level

Big Phil Foden
Pele was born 20 years before Maradona and Maradona was born 27 years before Messi. Giuseppe Meazza, perhaps the greatest pre-war player was born 30 years before Pele. This means that the next great one was born at the earliest in 2007 and at the latest in 2017. If the pattern holds, that is
None of these current guys is the one, that’s for sure…..
The answer is ‘no’
I think Haaland because of the position he plays and his attributes. He will be a Lewandowski / Aguero level striker perhaps surpassing their criteria given his age.
Haaland is already better than mbappe, pedri is the one I like, he could be xavi or iniesta level.
Wouldn't swap any of them for foden though

Yes, complete nonsense. Hence why he failed to celebrate with his team and wanted to hold a press conference after a minor falling out with Giroud.

Zlatan has been waiting 20 years for Ronaldo and Messi to retire so he can finally shine. The 20's belongs to him
Yes, complete nonsense
