Inspired by a Stretford Paddock video. Here's mine.
- Massimo Taibi
- Matteo Darmian
- Fabio da Silva
- Phil Jones
- Fred
- Paul Pogba
- Angel Di Maria
- Memphis Depay
- Radamel Falcao
- Alexis Sanchez
- Anthony Martial
Flops should be defined as the gulf between expectations and performance. So some worse players were excluded because expectations of them were low.
Darmian is the player in this XI with the least expectations, but he made it on the merit of how bad he ended up.
Pogba is the player in this XI with the most good performances, but for that reputation and that price, he still fell woefully short.
The final spot was a toss-up between Memphis and Marcos Rojo. I did not want to include Memphis because he wasn't very bad and he was asked to do a lot, but all things equal, Rojo definitely didn't have the expectations that came with Memphis.
