FIFA 15: 10 Over-Rated Players Who Need Downgrading In January Updates

Sometimes you just have to sit back and wonder how some of EA Sports' employees deserve to make a living.

You also have to wonder if some of the developers at EA are football fans or have access to a television in their caves to see what actually goes on in the real-life version of their leading game.

Let's start off by giving credit where credit is due. FIFA is almost untouchable in the football gaming stakes. Pro Evolution, as quirky as it once was, has severely dropped off since the release of the PlayStation 3 back in 2007. This lack of competition means us football fans, who enjoy a dabble on a console from time to time, have to accept the ratings EA awards as gospel even if we vehemently disagree with them.

FIFA's dominance means they must have the cream of the crop working for them, right? Wrong. Every year the game has glitches and problems that, to a less than expert gamer even, look simple to eradicate. All this before the players' ratings are taken into consideration.

Of course, a dodgy looking player rating isn't entirely EA's fault. A player can rope them in with a string of fine displays before going on the most barren of spells that leaves fans and pundits bewildered.

These players, that have often just secured a big move after becoming too 'good' for their old club, make chairman, managers, supporters and game developers look like morons. It's a weird food-chain of unfulfilled promise.

Here are 10 players that need their ratings decreased when the January updates come into play.

Revealed: Most traded player on FIFA 15 Ultimate Team

EA Sports have released information on all the stats within FIFA 15 and FIFA 15 Ultimate Team for the Premier League this season and it makes for interesting reading. 

With the Premier League drawing to a close EA have released a number of interesting figures with regards to games played between Premier League clubs and Premier League players on FIFA 15 Ultimate Team.

There were over 140 million games this season with over 333 million goals, two very impressive numbers.

It is absolutely no surprise that Diego Costa of Chelsea led the way in terms of goals, the Blues are the best Premier League team to use in the game and Costa is sensational.

In total players scored over 56.5 million goals using Costa which was considerably more than second placed Sergio Aguero who got 36.7 million.

Its a sign of how desperate Manchester United fans were to see their team succeed that both Robin van Persie and Radamel Falcao were in the top four.

Moving on to the top five traded players and the number one in this list was Arsenal defender Laurent Koscielny (yeah were not sure either).

Koscielny is a great player both in real life and in FIFA 15 Ultimate Team but to be the number one player? We were very surprised.

Loic Remy and Kyle Walker were both no surprise given their pace whilst Eliaquim Mangala and Aaron Ramsey finished off the top five traded players.

Interestingly Manchester Citys home kit from 1884 was one of the most traded kits but Manchester Uniteds away kit from this season won that particular battle.
