The Premier League Underwhelming XI of the season

Forwards:

Alvaro Morata (Chelsea)

Morata's story this season has flattered to deceive

Again, you knew this was coming.

It is not really fair to call a striker who has scored 11 goals and 6 assists in 24 starts in the PL underwhelming, but one has to consider the circumstances into which he arrived:

A €65 million price tag, to the defending Champions who had just told their lead striker (Diego Costa), that they won't be needing him that season anymore.

And Morata started off really well too. Some were even developing opinions that Chelsea made the right decision, or rather got the right decision made for them, by opting for him over Romelu Lukaku. How the tides have turned.

After a hamstring injury early on in the season, he has never been the same. With the arrival of Olivier Giroud in the winter, Morata has also been forced to share duties with him and hasn't been a mainstay in the Blues' squad.

However, it is not the end of the world for the Spaniard. He will play many more games for Chelsea, and that head of his will score many more goals. Until then, Chelsea just have to stick with him and put their trust in him.

Javier Hernandez (West Ham United)

After a lot of hype, Chicharito has failed to deliver the goods at West Ham

If you had entirely forgotten that Chicharito is still playing in the Premier League, that is not your fault.

Just as Everton excited their fans with a great transfer window, West Ham too had a very busy summer with several exciting names coming into the squad.

Chicharito was to West Ham, what Sigurdsson was to Everton. It is ironic that both those transfers turned out in the same way.

In 18 starts for the London club, the forward has scored 8 goals, out of which 4 goals came in losses, 3 goals came in draws, and only one came in a win.

His contribution to the team has mostly been forgettable, as he has been in and out of the team.

Considering that he had scored 17 goals and 11 goals in the two seasons prior to this at Bayer Leverkusen, Hernandez's career has been a slow decline.

The chances of the Mexican remaining at the club for the next season are uncertain, as West Ham's board will look for a major overhaul in the summer.

With their manager gone too, his future remains as bleak as his form this season.
