Like we had mentioned yesterday, EA SPORTS last night revealed the ratings for the players in FIFA 15. Players ranked from 41 to 50 have been unveiled and the other names will be revealed in the coming days. The ratings are calculated taking in to account the performances of the individual over the last 12 months for both club and country. Here are the players -
#50 - Giorgio Chiellini - Juventus (Italy)
The Italian centre-back is at number 50 and is rated 84 in the game. He was rated 86 in FIFA 14 but since Juventus were knocked out very early from the Champions League and due to Italy’s disastrous campaign in the World Cup, his rating has been brought down.
#49 - Andrea Pirlo - Juventus (Italy)
Pirlo had a terrific season personally despite Italy’s failure in the World Cup, but since he is already 35 years old, the makers of the game haven’t rated him as high as they did in the previous edition (86). He is still rated 84 in this year’s edition though.
#48 - Xabi Alonso - Bayern Munich (Germany)
Xabi’s rating has been brought down from 85 to 84. He helped Real Madrid win the Champions League title, but had a shocker with Spain in the World Cup. He will be plying his trade for Bayern Munich under Pep Guardiola this season.
#47 - Iker Casillas - Real Madrid (Spain)
It’s been a mixed year for Casillas. After finding his spot back at Madrid, he led them to the CL title, but was criticised heavily for his national side’s early ouster in Brazil. He was the highest rated goalkeeper in FIFA 14, but drops two rating points and is rated 84 in this year’s edition.
#46 - Cesc Fabregas - Chelsea (England)
In a move that came out of nowhere, Cesc became a ‘Blue’ after moving out of Barcelona. He might have made a terrific start to the season, but a disappointing season for Barcelona meant that he drops two rating points to 84 in FIFA 15.
#45 - Hugo Lloris - Tottenham Hotspur (England)
The first player on this list to have made an upgrade from FIFA 14 is French stopper Hugo Lloris. The 27 year old had a good season but still couldn’t help Spurs reach the top 4. He had a decent World Cup as well before bowing out in the quarterfinals.
#44 - Javi Martinez - Bayern Munich (Germany)
At number 44 is the Spanish centre-back Javi Martinez. He too had an upgrade of one rating from FIFA 14. Despite appearing in only 18 league games last season, Martinez is viewed as someone with a potential to nail a permanent spot for both club and country.
#43 - Sergio Busquets - FC Barcelona (Spain)
Sergio had a season to forget like many of his team-mates. But you can have a fresh start with him and Barcelona in FIFA 15. His rating remains the same as in FIFA 14 at 85.
#42 - Jerome Boateng - Bayern Munich (Germany)
Here is someone who has made quite a leap from FIFA 14 where he was rated 81. He has cemented his spot in the Germany’s national team and was instrumental in his side winning the World Cup.
#41 - Juan Mata - Manchester United (England)
The last name on this list is the Spanish maestro Juan Mata. In what’s been a difficult 12 months where he was transferred to Manchester United after two successful years at Chelsea, he wasn’t able to reproduce the same magic as he saw his side finish 7th in the league and hence has dropped down to 85 from 87 in FIFA 14.
The players who are ranked from 31-40 will be unveiled tomorrow and below you can see a video of what the likes of Rio Ferdinand, Samir Nasri and Eden Hazard have to say about their ratings in the game.
