Premier League: Worst XI of the 2021/22 season based on stats

The end of the Premier League season awards celebrate all those that have been successful in the campaign just gone.

We dish out trophies to champions, Golden Gloves to those who have kept the most clean sheets, Golden Boots to those who have scored the most goals, and name the Player of the Year and Team of the Year.

But we don’t think this accurately represents football and the Premier League.

What about the other end of the spectrum? What about the worst players of the season?

So, without further ado, here is the worst XI of the Premier League season 2021/22:

The Watford goalkeeper conceded 49 goals in 26 Premier League appearances and could only keep four clean sheets all season.

The Brentford man made 12 starts and made nine substitute appearances during a promising season for the Bees. However, the 22-year-old Dane didn’t return particularly promising statistics in his debut
