    It's difficult to say as both players have different roles and responsibilities for Chelsea and Liverpool respectively. However Oscar has been a main stay first 11 player for the Brazilian national team for years where as Ferminho and Courtinho are only just breaking through. That suggests to me that Oscar is further along and more widely lauded in Brazil.

    I honestly wouldn't swap them but think Courtinho had a very good season last year and has been great value. He did somewhat stand out in a relatively struggling team though which sometimes influences opinion. Much like Parker did at West Ham when he won player of the year. Was he actually the best player, was he ****!!

    All opinions though.

    Kid was playing non stop for last 5 years. I don't think anyone would have done this well like Oscar.

    Keeping that in perspective, last season can be written off. Hope he is back to his best this season.

    We also may finally see what he can do in a deeper role more consistently. At the end of the day, when the game is played through Oscar and Fabregas we look unstoppable.

    Call Oscar all you want, but if Hazard gets a lengthy injury (really hope he doesn't because I think the guy is magic) who is your creator?

    Seriously, Hazard is the only player I can't see a back-up for in your squad. I am not suggesting you could get anyone nearly as good, just somebody to help with creativity if Hazard is injured, I think Oscar is the closest you have at the moment.

    (waiting for you all to tell me how wrong I am and name others who are better) :emoticon-0111-blush
