Lautaro
Dzeko
Scamacca
Jesus

Osimhen
Nunez
Dybala

Am i really supposed to respond to this?
Well, you uttered it so it's up to you to defend it.
But what we have is:
Osimhen, a fast striker that used to be fearless but after that Skriniar collision is a shell of himself. On the side, he does not score against big teams.
Nunez, a great prospect but nowhere near Lautaro's current level. Worth the gamble but that's about it. We've seen dozens of players with this breakthrough seasons but not all of them ended up elite.
Dybala, a ghost for 2 years now after he contracted covid in particular and not relevant in the world stage since 2018. That's 4 years now.
Rashford, a player on Joaquin Correa's level.
+ Werner who's actually the best gamble of the lot since he's fast and can score but needs confidence and someone to nurture him, but we're typically not the right place for that.
So it's not just about whether or not these players are better or worse than the top list (they're not better), it's that these players aren't what we should be going for, especially for what they cost. Dybala is a big gamble and we'll all welcome him due to the external factors, but truth is that we'll all be hoping that he recovers his form and the expectations won't be really that high.
As for the list.
- Obviously Dzeko is a player that we cannot really rate but he's useful as a sub even at this state. The only reason we hate on him is because he starts too much and never gets subbed off. Him and Rashford are the worst of all players mentioned.
- Scamacca is actually an exciting prospect and the only big turn off I see with him is that he resembles Icardi (pretty similar face and facial expressions, plus the weird tattoos). You want players that hold the ball up, can pass, have a strong shot and can head the ball, he has all the tools. Problem is that his ceiling is unknown and he'd be best utilized next to a scorer rather than someone like Lautaro.
- Lautaro is the best player of them all. Starting for Argentina, won them their first trophy since 1991 and is generally one of the top names in football today whether you like it or not.
- Gabriel Jesus may not be an elite striker, but he's still Brazil main guy and is one of the best poachers in world football, significantly ahead of both Osimhen and Werner at this stage who have a higher ceiling but it's not within their reach as things stand.
So yeah, you have managed to create a wish list that costs x3 more money than the "ass" list and it's not even better... Well said.
