Oh dear Marouane Fellaini, how the mighty have fallen. 12 months ago, the midfielder commanded a rating of 81 - but that was 12 months ago. Now, following his disastrous move to Manchester United, Fellaini's virtual stock has plummeted by four points to a cringe-worthy 77 - according to the leak. Fellaini was impressive for Everton in 2012-13, scoring 11 goals in 31 appearances and finishing as the Toffee's highest goalscorer. This prompted United to make a £27 million bid last summer and the box-to-box star arrived at Old Trafford on transfer deadline day after some last-minute wrangling. But he might have wished he'd stayed on Merseyside because he's bombed for the Red Devils, failing to score a single goal for his new side and making just 16 Premier League appearances due to a combination of injury and poor form. So it's only right the Belgian's rating should nosedive in such a way, as he has been dire since leaving Everton. He will be hoping a better second season in 2014-15 will salvage his career but for the time being an alarming slump to 77 seems about right - in fact, he could have slid even further down the ratings to be fair.
