About this listen

 The source provides excerpts from an article identifying the ten most underrated soccer talents during the 2025/2026 season across major European leagues. The criteria for being "underrated" goes beyond simple statistics, focusing on intangibles, reliability, and impact often overshadowed by "flashier" players like Haaland or Mbappé. The list, which includes players like Federico Valverde and Guglielmo Vicario, utilizes advanced metrics such as expected assists (xA) and progressive passes, alongside scouting reports, to highlight key figures who are essential to their teams' success. Ultimately, the article argues that these unheralded players are the "glue holding squads together," suggesting their quiet brilliance deserves more widespread recognition.
