FIFA 18: Real Madrid fans lose their cool as Barcelona's Rakitic is rated higher than Isco

FIFA 18 rolled out the latest list of players yesterday and there were quite a few debatable choices that forced EA Sports into receiving a lot of stick. As the publishers of the popular console gaming series released the top 41-60 players in FIFA 18 last night, they immediately got a backlash from the fans on Twitter.

The 86-rated card of Real Madrid star Isco was a particular bone of contention among Real Madrid fans, since Barcelona's Ivan Rakitic and Andres Iniesta were rated higher than the Spain sensation. Here are the best reactions to EA Sports' shocking rating for Isco.

Already disgusted by FIFA 18, Rakitic 87 but Busquets 86? Piqué 69 passing? Isco only 86?

This tweet, however, tries to balance everything out by chuckling at both Rakitic and Ronaldo's higher ratings than Isco and Messi respectively.

In FIFA 18, Cristiano is higher than Messi and Rakitic is higher than Isco. #FIFA18 pic.twitter.com/gV6iXN9uah

Judging by the daily debates on player ratings, EA Sports must seriously rethink their approach towards rating players.
