This lot are getting paid a lot to not do anything…
With the wages that players are getting at the moment, what some footballers earn is astronomical. What makes it even more ridiculous is the fact that some of them are getting paid without even playing.

Here are the top 13 players to be raking it in without even getting on the pitch that often…
=11) John Obi Mikel, Chelsea, £75,000 a week
The midfielder has only made one start this season, and that was only when Nemanja Matic was suspended.
=11) Lukas Podolski, Arsenal, £75,000 a week
Arsene Wenger seems to refuse to play the German, despite him being a fan favourite at the Emirates.
=11) Matija Nastasic, Manchester City, £75,000 a week
The youngster had a great first few seasons for the Citizens before being injured. He is now back, but cannot get into their first team.
=8) Andre Schurrle, Chelsea, £80,000 a week
The German has found himself on the sidelines this season, with Willian usually taking what would be his spot in the starting XI.
=8) Darren Fletcher, Manchester United, £80,000 a week
The midfielder has impressibly managed to return after a long term injury. However, he has not managed to start regularly for the Red Devils.
=8 Didier Drogba, Chelsea, £80,000 a week
Although he is a club legend, the Ivorian has had top play second fiddle to Diego Costa so far this season.
7) Tomas Rosicky, Arsenal, £85,000 a week
Similarly to Podolski, the Czech Republic international is loved by Gunners fans but clearly not the manager.
6) Emmanuel Adebayor, Tottenham, £112,000 a week
The striker has been usurped in the lineup by local boy Harry Kane, but still draws in the higher wages.
5) Ashley Young, Manchester United, £118,ooo a week
Young has only been playing as much as he has this season because of the large amount of injuries at Old Trafford. Even then he is playing out of position.
4) Petr Cech, Chelsea, £120,000 a week
The Chelsea legend has been usurped by 22-year-old Thibaut Courtois this season, he may look to leave to get more time on the pitch.
3) Bacary Sagna, Manchester City, £150,000 a week
The former Arsenal man went to the Etihad in the summer, but has been unable to push Pablo Zabaleta out of the side there since.
2) Frank Lampard, Manchester City, £190,000 a week
The former England international has been used sparingly but effectively by manager Manuel Pellegrini.
1) Radamel Falcao, Manchester United, £300,000 a week
The Colombian was a marquee signing for the Red Devils, but has failed to inspire since arriving. He has been plagued by injuries that have held him back.
