5) Jordan Ayew – Crystal Palace (-1.5 Goals compared to xG)

The Ghanaian is not known for his goalscoring but he has missed his fair share of opportunities so far this campaign.

Ayew has yet to hit the back of the net for Palace, but manager Roy Hodgson has started him in all 9 league games.

The 32-year-old does contribute in other ways. He has provided 2 assists, and he is known for his high work rate.

However, the Eagles have scored just once in their last 5 games in all competitions, and they need someone to start firing in front of goal. Ayew’s poor finishing, however, suggests he won’t be the one to step up.
