#2 Midfielders
Lucas Moura: 82 → 83
Lucas Moura was sensational in Ligue 1 scoring 11 goals and 5 assists. However, he couldn’t really replicate his league form in the Champions League, where PSG were knocked out by Manchester City.
Lucas is a constant threat to the goal, and extremely pacey. He should get an increase for his exploits in the French League.
Hatem Ben Arfa: 81 → 83
PSG’s new signing from Nice, Ben Arfa was exceptional last season scoring 17 goals from his midfield role. He has a good passing range to pick out teammates and has 6 assists to show for it.
The former Newcastle man will be an exciting prospect at PSG, and expect bigger things from him in Ligue 1 and Champions’ League.
Grzegorz Krychowiak: 82 → 83
PSG’s new Polish recruit from Sevilla, Krychowiak is a solid central defensive midfielder and had an outstanding season last year with club and his country, Poland, at Euro 2016.
The Polish midfielder provides a protective screen to the back four and is going to be an excellent signing for PSG. Good performances last season will surely get him an 83 rating.
Marco Veratti: 84 → 85
Verratti had a great season, attracting serious interest from Europe’s big clubs but PSG would not let him go. At just 23, he is one of the fastest emerging centre-mid, and did his development no harm with a good showing last season, picking up 4 trophies along the way.
It will be interesting to see how PSG new boss, Unai Emery, capitalizes on his incredible potential.
Blaise Matuidi: 84 → 86
Matuidi had one of his best seasons’ ever, playing some brilliant football for both his club and country. 4 trophies with the club, and runners-up with France at Euro 2016, and Matuidi played a vital role in it.
He is solid at central mid, and should surely get an 86.
Angel Di Maria: 86 → 88
Di Maria was in scintillating form at PSG last season, after a disastrous one-year spell at Old Trafford. He showed his exceptional class once again, scoring 10 goals and 18 assists in Ligue 1.
He was also one of PSG’s best player at Champions League, scoring 3 goals and 2 assists, but couldn’t prevent his side’s exit in the quarters. The Argentine is definitely in the world’s top 10 footballers, and should get an 88, if not more.
