There should be no debate really. Last season Caicedo played to a higher level than Rice IMHO. Yes, Rice won the tier 3 Euro trophy, but throughout the entirety of the seaon Caicedo was the better player and on a better team. Rice had more iffy games than Caicedo did. Rice was a major player for team that was often in danger of falling into a serious relegation battle. They collapsed in form from the year before.

Rice did very well in the WC late stages and against very strong opposition. The sample I have from Rice is much bigger than from Caicedo. Not to mention Caicedo looks really green to my eyes... miscontrolling the football is never nice for any player at this level, and he did that in 2 out of the 3 matches he played for us (one time leading to a goal and a loss). Yes, I know early days, but like I said, I was referring to "now." Let me put it his way: if I have a big game next weekend and I had to choose between the two players, I'd pick Rice every time. In time that may change, but right now, easy one. Edited September 6, 2023 by robsblubot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
