Like they promised earlier, the EA SPORTS FIFA franchise have been releasing the ratings of the top 50 players on a daily basis. Yesterday they released the ratings of players who are ranked between 41 to 50, and now the players who are ranked between 31 to 40 have been unveiled. Like mentioned earlier, the ratings have been calculated on the basis of the player’s performances over the last 12 months. Here they are -
40. Karim Benzema - Real Madrid (Spain)
The French striker had a decent season with Real Madrid where he won the Champions League, and then went on to have a great World Cup but saw his team getting eliminated in the last 8 stage by eventual champions Germany. He was rated 85 in FIFA 14, and it stays the same in this year’s edition.
39. Carlos Tevez - Juventus (Italy)
21 goals in 45 appearances for Juventus last season, Tevez finds himself out of reckoning for a spot in his national team. He drops one rating from FIFA 14 to be rated 85 in the new game.
38. Mario Götze - Bayern Munich (Germany)
The man who landed the killer punch in the World Cup finals is rated the same as last year. He scored 15 goals for Bayern last season in 44 matches. Win your own World title in FIFA 15 with Gotze up front.
37. Diego Costa - Chelsea FC (England)
Chelsea’s latest hitman is ranked 37th in the game. He was rated 84 in FIFA 14, and has been given a small upgrade to 85 in FIFA 15. He scored 36 goals in 52 matches for Atletico last season helping them win the La Liga and reach the UEFA CL finals.
36. Toni Kroos - Real Madrid (Spain)
World Champion Toni Kroos also won the Bundesliga with Bayern last season. His rise on the world stage has been acknowledge with EA SPORTS giving him an upgrade in FIFA 15. He is rated 85.
35. Arturo Vidal - Juventus FC (Italy)
Recognised as one of the best central midfielders around the world currently, the Chilean is rated the same as last year at 85. After loads of speculation, he has decided not to move away from Juventus.
34. Petr ?ech - Chelsea FC (England)
Like Vidal, Cech’s rating too remains the same as it was in FIFA 14 at 85. He might have lost his place to Courtois for the moment, but he is sure to give the young man a fight for that number 1 stopper’s spot.
33. Edinson Cavani - Paris Saint-Germain (France)
Cavani’s returns haven’t been the same ever since he got transferred to PSG, but that’s predominantly because he plays on the wings to accomodate Zlatan in the middle. From 87 in FIFA 14, he drops one rating to 86 in FIFA 15.
32. James Rodríguez - Real Madrid (Spain)
It seems that stunning golden boot award winning show that he put up at the World Cup has had a huge impact on his FIFA ratings. He is the most improved player on this list as he moves 3 rating points to 86 in FIFA 15.
31. Thibaut Courtois - Chelsea FC (England)
Finally back at Chelsea after 3 seasons on loan, his amazing performances at Atletico Madrid have not gone unnoticed. He was rated 84 in FIFA 14, and has moved to 86 in the game’s latest version.
