The results of the worst combined eleven were based on their performance over the previous season and was released after the world football governing body unveiled the best players in the world at the 2018 FIFA Best Awards.

The 21-year-old Iheanacho joined Leicester City from Premier League champions in the summer of 2017 and was expected to replicate his high goal conversion rate, continue his development and fulfil his potential.

He scored a total of three goals in the Premier League for Leicester City along with some couples of goals in the FA Cup.

Iheanacho was joined on the list by some star players who also did not live up to expectation during the last season.

Superstars such as Wesley Sneijder who was tipped to win the 2010 World Player of the Year as well as Arsenal midfield maestro Mesut Ozil.
