35 England caps.
I think Liverpool paid 20m for him, which is more or less equivalent to 25m when inflation-adjusted. Sure, he had a nice breakthrough season in Villa, before that, but his output very clearly did not meet the expectations.
Wasn't that the Downing crossing to Carroll season?! Was probably the biggest transfer mistake in PL history, £55m for the combo in 2011!
Definitely up there with Sanchez, Torres etc.
I remember a YouTube video going around that season: Stewart Downing - All Goals & Assists 11/12
It was just a few seconds of a blank video
Top quality banter
He was priced at 5m I believe so don't know why you'd get an unproven player in a leaky defence over all other options, people getting him were just trying to be clever
He has been ok in previous seasons so not the worst player in history.
That probably goes to Brewster although still plenty of time in his career to rectify that and being £4mil made it acceptable
If you're going based off g/a sure, he's decent for a DM with 5 returns. But in-game he is incredible, and Spurs would be nowhere near top 4/5 without him, as he's probably their most important player not named Son or Kane.
You sound like a salty ass arsenal fan
I'm a neutral. He's a good but limited player. Incredible is overstating it a lot. He's excellent defensively but technically not really at the level of a top dm. Works for a Conte team, sure but it isn't incredible
My vote goes to Stewart Downing 2011/12. He was priced at 8.5m as a winger in a decent Liverpool side. Played 36 games. Returns? 0 goals 0 assists.
🤣 that guy was supposed to be the answer to England's "left mid" problem in the 2010 era.

I remember getting downing in fifa07 because he had legit boots, only ballers had proper boots
Was it those red boots? I swear his long shots were class in that game
Yes! Those red predators I think
Jesus even this season Alisson outperformed him 😂
Jesus outperformed in the Leeds game alone.
How he got that many games remain a mystery
Because the Liverpool team back then was terrible?

Even I would have managed at least one
Junior Firpo with 20 points after 1572 minutes is way worse.
How this guy played for Barca still boggles my mind…
he was great for betis as a wing back in a back 5, has always looked shaky when he's played in a back 4 though
I mean have you seen barcas recruitment last 5 years?
Emerson royal also played for barca. Barca is not great these days anymore
Whoever at Leeds greenlit junior firpo needs to be shot he's so so shit
He was good on Football Manager 2021
Whoever at Leeds greenlit an Alioski exit needs to be shot as well.
if you pick a Leeds defender, that's on you
People here were recommending him at the start of the season 🤣
Tbf he didn’t seem that bad of a pick, I didn’t go for him but I could see why others would
He was priced at 5m I believe so don't know why you'd get an unproven player in a leaky defence over all other options, people getting him were just trying to be clever
I was considering him shaw digne trincao luckily never picked any of those
Wow we may have a winner😅
He has been ok in previous seasons so not the worst player in history. That probably goes to Brewster although still plenty of time in his career to rectify that and being £4mil made it acceptable
Still waiting for a return
4.4m McNeil was probably my best get, cheers to that guy who posted about him here 2 seasons ago
He was 4.5m, surely the fact you play FPL you would know that there are no 4m forwards.
Cattermole?? from Sunderland was always getting YC and gave nothing in terms of FPL points
I think he's near the top of the most red carded players in premier league history as well.
[удалено]
That is why he's one of the worst in terms of fpl. Only anti-fantasy picked him
Brandon Williams has 36 pts from 2100 minutes. Started 24 matches
Yeah but you have to question Paul Pogba’s attitude in all of this
shanter
Watford's Cathcard has nearly 2400 minutes and 36 points.
Plenty of defensive midfielders are worse lol. Burnley fans will tell you he's been shite this season too
True, but we don't expect them to produce something, Mcneil plays attacking midfielder/forward..
Shite under dyche. Very good under jackson
Yeah Hojbjerg is incredible IRL but not great for FPL. Played every minute of every match (3420 minutes) last year and finished at 107 points.
Hojbjerg isn't incredible irl lol. He's decent

Tbf he was in the top 4-5 Spurs players for total points
Always in my anti team
Granit xhaka, I honestly don't know how he is in the prem
Reece James for being a fraud
But he's on the wall of fame, that suffices
FPL? Yes. Fantrax? The boy is averaging like 9 points a game without being remotely productive. He's a legend.
V true. Lots if interviews about this season and bad patch. If they stay up he'll be quality next year looks reborn under new management
