We don't play to the sum of our parts.
I think many of us overrate our parts to be honest.
We are the 11th ranked team in the world, and I don't think we have a single player in the top 100 (Pulisic is probably close but there are SO MANY great wingers in the world. He is not even the best winger on his own team). And after Pulisic, we might not have anyone else in the top 200(although it gets VERY grey in this area so I won't argue if people feel differently).
If anything we may have been out punching our weight these past few years considering the ages of the players.
This formula should change as we move through this cycle and more players move into their prime.
