Last year, Marca made their own take on FIFA’s The Best awards by launching The Worst.
Manchester City somehow managed to have two players named in the eleven selected, with Claudio Bravo and John Stones being picked.
Marca’s criteria clearly wasn’t actually picking the worst players, but rather the high profile ones who they feel hadn’t done well, hence the Manchester City inclusions.
This year it’s Pep Guardiola’s Manchester neighbour Jose Mourinho who sees two of his men in the team.
Alexis Sanchez and Victor Lindelof both find a way into The Worst XI, with the Manchester United players joined by several others from the Premier League.
What makes Sanchez and Lindelof stand out is that they’ve both won individual awards.
The Chilean is The Worst Attacker and the Swede picks up The Worst Defender.
Loris Karius is named The Worst Goalkeeper, for his Champions League disaster, and Wesley Sneijder The Worst Midfielder for a poor season with Nice.
