Top TEN ‘most wasted’ players in the Premier League

At every Premier League club, there are those players who it just simply doesn’t always happen for. Those who are desperate to prove themselves, but are unable to force their way into the first team, or even into their preferred position.

Those who have shown glimpses of what they can do, enough to convince the fans they could do a job, and that they deserve a run in the side.

Often these players don’t get given the opportunity, and despite their undeniable talent are left to fall by the wayside. Think David Bentley at Tottenham, a man who was on fire at Blackburn, but never got the run in the side he felt he needed at Tottenham.

Or Ryan Babel at Liverpool, the man billed as ‘the next Thierry Henry’ by journalists in Holland upon his arrival from Ajax. Babel never got a run in the side in his favoured position, and despite glimpes of real promise, you can now find him back at Ajax where it all began for him.

Here we countdown the top ten most under-utilised players in the Premier League this season.
