Yeah, it's an odd criterion.

I guess he's disappeared from the radar of many pundits now; it
happens, when you're launched as the next very big thing.

Nice idea. Here are my 1989-or-later players:

- Walcott: he's showing more and more deficiencies (both in his play
and in his physical form). Well, maybe he already had them when I
picked him, but Fantasy Scout is exactly about this - avoiding shining
but not golden players -, isn't it?

- Marquinhos, Walter, Douglas Costa, Rafael... Either they'll be the
spine of Brazil 2018 or I have picked too many verde e amarelo
players. The fact that I haven't heard of them lately is not a good
sign, I guess.

Sure as hell he has a name that sounds too good to be true! If I
worked for a publisher and I had to re-brand classics (see _The seven
year scratch_), I would change the name of Milton's _Paradise Lost_ in
_Eden Hazard_.

I've never been sure of it... :) According to your formula, Enzo has
more chances than any other scout (Alberto is second, though; but bar
Enzo everyone is close to everyone else), and Busquets is a great
asset. But my money goes to MH: I'm pretty sure that he will make the
podium, and he's a probable winner in my eyes.
