I think a lot of people have nostalgia goggles. The best way to compare players from different era is to see how dominant and regular they were against their competitors.
Aguero: he was as great as Benzema, Ibrahimovic, but I have zero doubts he is below Lewandowski and Suarez.
Yaya: he might have been the best midfielder for 1 season, but in his prime, he was relegated by Busquets (who I think Rodri is even better) in Barcelona. And I don't know how you pick him above Xavi and Iniesta (not to mention Modric, Kroos...).
Silva: For me this is the closest. Maybe never the best in a season, but extremely regular (top 3-5 for a long time).
KDB: he was the best midfielder 2018-2022, and that alone puts him above the rest to me.
Rodri: he is the best midfielder since 2022-2023, so that's 2 years already where he is the best. Even more, only Dilva was great with his national team, but he was not their most important player, which Rodri is.
Right now: KDB, Rodri and Silva in thst order. If Rodri comes back at his 2023-2024 level for a cpuple years, he would be my 1st pick.
For me the question is simple: if I could pick one player to build a winning team around, I don't know how anyone doesn't pick KDB or Rodri first.
