Whilst we hand out praise on a regular basis on Eurofantasyleague, the season so far does have its own casualties of form, players who come with a big reputation or price-tag, and have not produced the goods this term. Here are some of the biggest under performers:

Mario Balotelli

Following a £16m move from AC Milan to Liverpool, Balotelli was expected to at least help contribute towards the replacement of Barcelona-bound Luis Suarez. However, the Italian has minus five points from the season, with his main contribution to the fantasy league being a yellow card. Recently dropped by Brendan Rodgers, the ex-Manchester City striker will need to improve if he is to break back into the first team.

Bojan Krkic

With Stoke announcing the 1.8m Euro move in the Summer, many thought Mark Hughes had found a bargain in the ex Barcelona and Roma striker. With a reputation as a promising youngster, he was expected to realise some of that potential in the English Premier League. However, his stats so far show four appearances, no goals, and minus 10 points, meaning he currently ranks among the 10 worst active attackers in Europe.

Sylvain Distin

A stalwart in the Everton defence for a number of years, the French centre-back has had a nightmare start (currently on minus 45 points), and was dropped for the last two games. This follows a horrific record of conceding 13 goals in the 4 matches Distin had played in so far this term.

Mathieu Flamini

Brought in with the job of being the top class defensive midfielder Arsenal so clearly need, the ex Milan player has struggled. Playing more than three quarters of the game in all but two Premier League matches so far, he is first choice yet has brought Wenger’s side minus 10 points! Flamini has failed to help Arsenal’s cause and his position on the pitch seems to be one that the Gunners may have to address in the January transfer window.
