#3 Michail Antonio (West Ham)

Last season's top scorer, Antonio is struggling this year

Michail Antonio burst into the Premier League scene in 2015/16, scoring eight goals in 26 matches for West Ham. He then followed it up with nine goals in 29 games the following season.

He was the Hammers' top scorer last season but so far, the former Nottingham Forest man has looked like a shadow of his former self.

Antonio has bagged only one goal in nine appearances. Dating back to last season, he is currently on a drought of ten matches across all competitions.

With his explosiveness, West Ham was an exciting team to watch but they are now a struggling side that had lost over half (6) of its 11 games averaging just a goal per game.

To make matters worse, instead of winning points for the team, Antonio has actually cost the side a few.

In Gameweek 10, West Ham blew a 2-0 lead away from home against Crystal Palace with the equalizer coming deep into injury time only a few moments after Antonio delivered a pointless cross into the Palace penalty area, instead of just playing out the final seconds near the corner flag.

The powerful winger was dropped after his misjudgment at Selhurst Park for West Ham's next match, which turned out to be Slaven Bilic's last one in charge of the club.

After the appointment of David Moyes, Antonio should have no problems regaining his spot in the team, but it remains to be seen if the Scotsman can also squeeze out better performances from last season's Hammer of the Year.
