#3 Paco Alcacer, Barcelona

Alcacer made a wrong choice when he decided to move to Barcelona
Alcacer made a wrong choice when he decided to move to Barcelona

The 24-year-old moved to Barcelona during the summer of 2016 but has endured a tough time at the Camp Nou ever since. Paco Alcacer made a name for himself in La Liga at Valencia when he scored 43 goals in three full seasons at the club.

Ever since his move to the Catalan giants, Alcacer has made only 13 La Liga starts so far. He has produced some impressive performances, however. The presence of Luis Suarez and the arrival of Ousmane Dembele worked against his first team opportunities.

He was never given a consistent run with the team. Alcacer isn't a player like a Luis Suarez or a Lionel Messi with good footwork and perhaps that has worked against him. He is more of a poacher and should move to a club where he'll find regular game time.
