#2 Midfielders
Trending
Mark Noble: 76 → 79
The Hammers skipper had a brilliant season and was one of West Ham’s best players of the season. He did an excellent job behind Dimitri Payet in a central defensive midfield role.
He is excellent in his defensive duties in front of the back 4, and also chipped in with 7 goals and 4 assists. Noble deserves a 79 card for FIFA 17.
Cheikhou Kouyate: 75 → 77
Kouyate had an excellent season in a defensive midfield role. He has immense physical power and makes good use of it to dispose oppositions off the ball.
He is not as good in attack but still managed to score 5 goals and 2 assists. The Senegal international is likely to be awarded a +2.
Sofiane Feghouli: 81 → 81
One of Hammers’ new signings, Feghouli did not have the best of seasons at Valencia last year. He managed only 2 goals and 2 assists last season but has the potential to impress in the Premier League.
Feghouli will be hoping to recreate fellow Algerian Riyad Mahrez’s season in Leicester’s fairytale season. He has nothing to harm his rating, and should retain the 81 card.
Dimitri Payet: 81 → 86
The Frenchman has always been an outstanding talent, and he finally lived up to his potential last season. He was amazing for the Hammers in his debut EPL season, scoring 9 goals and provided 12 assists. He didn’t stop there, as he scored a stunner in the Euro 2016 opener against Romania.
He became an instant hero for the French fans and ended with 3 goals and 2 assists in the tournament. Payet is one of the best midfielders in Europe right now and is likely to be 86 rated.
Manuel Lanzini: 76 → 79
The young Argentine spent last season on loan at West Ham, and after impressive performances in his debut season, Hammers picked him up on a permanent deal this transfer window.
He excelled in the attacking midfield role, scoring 6 goals and 2 assists in the process. EA is likely to award the promising youngster a 79 rating card.
Havard Nordtveit: 76 → 78
Nordtveit is another one of West Ham’s new signing. The Norwegian arrived from Borussia Monchengladbach, where he had a very good season. He played an important role in Borussia’s 4th place finish in Bundesliga and is likely to get an increased rating.
Pedro Obiang: 74 → 75
Obiang didn’t feature much for the Hammers, making only 11 starts, but showed a lot of quality in the limited game time. He attracted interest from European clubs but wanted to stay and fight for his place.
Obiang should get an improved rating for the impressive performances.
Gokhan Tore: 79 → 80
The Turkish man recently signed for the Hammers from Besiktas, and can prove to be an excellent signing for West Ham. He had a brilliant season in the Turkish League scoring 4 goals and 6 assists.
Tore should get an 80 rating card in FIFA’s latest.
