Most in-demand players for 2024: Koundé at the top

https://football-observatory.com/WeeklyPost485

The 485th CIES Football Observatory Weekly Post presents the 20 outfield footballers in 66 leagues around the world who played the most official game minutes in 2024, either for clubs (at senior level only) or national teams (A, U23 or U21). Up to December 15, the most-used outfield player in absolute terms is FC Barcelona's French international Jules Koundé: 5,872 minutes spread over 69 matches.

Fluminense's Colombian Jhon Arias and Real Madrid's Uruguayan Federico Valverde complete the podium. The next three places are occupied by players over the age of 30: Dutchman Virgil van Dijk (33.4), Argentina's Nicolás Otamendi (36.8) and Switzerland's Granit Xhaka (32.2). Reading FC's New Zealander Tyler Bindon is the only footballer under the age of 20 in the top 100, demonstrating the sensitivity of coaches when it comes to balancing the efforts of younger players.

Also with respect to the top 100 outfield players overall, a clear majority of minutes were played in domestic club competitions: 73.2% of the total. The remaining playing time spread almost equally between international club competitions and national teams: 15.1% for the former and 13.4% for the latter (including the Olympic Games). These reports provide more exclusive analysis on the hot topics of match calendar and player workload.

💬According to Bild,

the Blues are looking closely at Kobel and are considering signing him after the season.

The Dortmund keeper's contract was extended in October 2023 until 2028 and does not include an exit clause. At the time, the contract was extended to bring the 10-time international among the top earners in the squad.

Since then, he has been earning around €10 million a year.🗯

Arsenal have a kinky fetish on taking and wanting Chelsea's scraps.

Absolutely not.

Musiala much like Olise would've been straight up overkill.

no, as Musiala is a right footer who often plays at LW

Olise is the opposite (and indeed overkill)

But Musiala as LW is not the type of winger that Maresca likes? That hugs the line an comes in from there like Sancho, Neto and Noni does. 

Is he like that? Or he is more like a Palmer type of player> 

Nonetheless if opportunity comes I would take him.

I would LOVE to have Musiala

I was only saying it is semi chalk and cheese with him and Olise, as they play two diffrent positions

KDH and Disasi have looked much better than normal (granted it is against Shamrock)
