Mesut Ozil, Danny Drinkwater and Danny Rose are among the list of names that has been completely omitted from clubs teams for this season, with a total figure of £237million of talent being left in the stands.

Jurgen Klopp decided not to include the £15million-rated Harry Wilson in his European plans
The most notable omissions at Chelsea come in the form of Victor Moses and Danny Drinkwater, who will now struggle to see any game time unless they complete moves away before the domestic transfer window closes next week.
At Manchester United, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has decided to leave out Jones, Sergio Romero and Marcos Rojo, having announced the 23-man squad for their upcoming Champions League campaign.
Romero has been linked with a move away from Old Trafford with the MLS proving to be a potential destination after he saw a switch to Everton fall through.
While it comes as no surprise that Rose has not been selected by Jose Mourinho considering the England left back has not been given a squad number by Tottenham.
Mourinho has also found no room to include Spurs loanee Gedson Fernandes in his European plans and now looks set to return to Benfica once his 18-month loan spell comes to an end at White Hart Lane.
Paulo Gazzaniga is the other Spurs casualty not to make the squad after he has been surplus to requirements following the arrival of Joe Hart, who conveniently fits the homegrown quota.
