6 players who weren't happy with their FIFA ratings

3) Nuri Sahin – FIFA 16

The one-time poster boy of Turkish football, Nuri Sahin has not had the best of years since his move away from Borussia Dortmund. The midfielder joined Real Madrid and then Liverpool (on loan) but failed to impress either side and now is back at the Bundesliga club.

The 28-year-old is known for his passing ability but speaking before the launch of FIFA 16, he stated that he was pleased with his 81 rating in the game, especially due to the fact that he was out injured for a while.

“I was injured for almost a year so I think they were gracious with me. It’s always like that when you’re not playing, you drop off.”

The Turk was a little perplexed about his heading rating which was 47 in FIFA 16. “I’ll be honest: Headers are one of my strengths. I can’t understand why I just got a 47.”

Coming from him is a little weird seeing that he is a little short and winning headers does not come easy for “vertically challenged” people. Later on, the midfielder stated that he wanted at least a 77 for his heading ability, not that it was going to happen anyway.
