PIERRE-EMERICK AUBAMEYANG is the Premier League’s biggest under-performer so far this season, according to supercomputer data.
The Arsenal striker is one of several big names from clubs including Chelsea, Liverpool and Manchester United that make it into the 2020-21 under-achieving XI.
Several big names feature in the 20-21 underachievers XI
Gunners forward Aubameyang, 31, has just three League goals so far this season which is seven worse than the ten he had managed by this time last season.
The Gabonese’s form has fallen off a cliff since he signed his mega-money £350,000-a-week contract in September.
And stats collated by Fantasy5’s supercomputer – which uses an algorithm based on fantasy football scoring systems – back it up.
Aubameyang is missing his weekly match performance points target by an average of 4.1 points every week which is the highest in the Premier League.
Liverpool’s superstar pair Sadio Mane and Trent Alexander-Arnold are next in the list with the Reds aces missing their targets by an average of three and 2.8 points respectively.
Mane scored against Crystal Palace last month to end a run of ten games in all competitions without a goal – his longest goal drought since joining the club in 2016.
And Alexander-Arnold finished last season with 13 assists and had six at this point last season. So far, he has only managed two.
Chelsea’s £72million summer arrival Kai Havertz also makes the XI joining Arsenal’s Willian and Wolves’ Joao Moutinho in midfield.
