Who are the players that are operating at the highest level but seem to offer absolutely nothing in the game?

The one that always comes to mind with me is Will Hughes. He has been an attacking midfielder with both Watford and now Crystal Palace but can anyone pick out a game where he has genuinely stood out? His goals and assists record always appear to be low, can't remember him doing much in terms of tackling and providing protection for players behind him. He only seems to be one of those snides who generally gets involved with arguements. And this from a player who was touted as being a future English star and linked with a huge transfer to Liverpool and other bigger clubs when he was at Derby.

Who stands out, or rather doesn't stand out, to you?

Mason Mount. I don’t think I’ve ever watched a match and said “wow Mount played really well today”. That goes for his England career too.

He was class in a fair few games for Chelsea. Notably in our cl winning run. Has dropped off massively the last year though, and now he's at utd I don't really care if he gets better or not.

I have literally no idea what his strengths are

On his day, great link up in midfield, progressing play, good long passes, tidy finisher, tenacious pressing. Great all around 8/10.

When would you say the last time he had “his day” was?

Good while back now tbh, but everyone looked shit at Chelsea in the mess that was last season. I remember for potters first few games he looked top class
