FIFA 15: 10 Over-Rated Players Who Need Downgrading

7. Erik Lamela (Tottenham Hotspur) €“ 81

The sale of Gareth Bale and the subsequent buying frenzy it initiated at White Hart Lane was supposed to mark the beginning of Spurs€™ time as real title contenders. However, a turbulent management situation combined with the void left by Bale €“ who saved Spur€™s hide on many occasions €“ has led to a disappointing season in north London. A player who typifies the 2013/14 season of Tottenham Hotspur is Erik Lamela. Lamela, on whom Spurs set a new transfer fee record of £30m, held so much promise having seemed to be a potent talent in Serie A. In his last season at Roma, Lamela racked up 15-goals in 35-appearances compared to his one goal all season at Spurs. The Argentine€™s 82-finishing and 81-long shots are starting to look a little generous now, no?
