#2 Midfielders
Danny Drinkwater: 74 → 78
The English midfielder did a brilliant job at central midfield, alongside Kante throughout the league. He also contributed with 7 assists and 2 goals, and almost broke into England’s squad for Euro 2016. EA is likely to reward him with an upgrade.
Riyad Mahrez: 76 → 83
The Algerian has been a revelation, and probably one of the best transfers ever for a mere 400,000 from Le Havre. He lit up the Premier League, with 17 goals and 11 assists. Mahrez attracted a lot of interest from big clubs, but to Leicester’s relief, he penned a new contract. The amazing season should see him get an increased rating.
Marc Albrighton: 71 → 75
Albrighton didn’t stand out like Kante, Vardy or Mahrez, but his contribution was invaluable to Leicester’s cause. He was very good in attack and equally good in his defensive duties. He chipped in with 6 assists and 2 goals, and might get a rating of 75 for FIFA 17.
Nampalys Mendy: 74 → 77
The Frenchmen is another one of Leicester’s new signing and is the Foxes’ replacement for N’Golo Kante. Mendy played a vital role in Nice’s 4th placed finish in Ligue 1, featuring in almost all of their matches. Leicester fans will hope he can recreate Kante’s exceptional performance last season, and s expected to start FIFA 17 as 77 rated.
Bartosz Kapustka: 62 → 72
The Poland youngster is Leicester’s new signing from Cracovia on a 5-year deal. The 19-year old showed a lot of potential at Euro 2016 and has attracted interest from a lot of clubs. After good performances with club and country, Kapustka should be able to break into the 70s for FIFA 17.
Andy King: 70 → 72
Andy King made only 9 starts this season while making 16 appearances from the bench, but he was very good in the limited playing time. The Welshman will probably get an increased rating.
