And Kalidou Koulibaly (49)Īnd a special mention for this atrocious shout from EA Sports. Suarez had the same rating as Aaron Lennon and Marouane Chamakh on FIFA 11, which seems ludicrous now. Luis Suarez had just scored 49 goals in 47 games for Ajax and had also caught the eye while playing for Uruguay at the 2010 World Cup - albeit not entirely for positive reasons - but 82 was still far too low for a forward of his talents. He was even rated lower than two goalkeepers - Iker Casillas and Julio Cesar - on that year’s game. Ronaldo had just joined Real Madrid from Manchester United, becoming the most expensive footballer of all time in the process, and had already won the Ballon d’Or as well as the UEFA Champions League.īut that wasn’t enough to earn the Portuguese superstar a 90+ rating on FIFA 10. His rating of 83 meant he was a better player than Luka Modric, Samir Nasri and Xabi Alonso. So instead, Aiden McGeady wins the award for most stupid rating on FIFA 09. EA Sports didn’t have the rights to the Netherlands national team on FIFA 09. HITC Sport initially picked a random footballer called ‘Bert Ronhaar’, an 87-rated Dutchman. The Scotland international was on a par with both Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Fernando Torres on FIFA 08. On what planet is Celtic midfielder Scott Brown an 86-rated player? That seems way too generous.
The Brazilian defender, who made 17 appearances for his country, was rated higher than the likes of Carles Puyol and even Kaka. This made the Lyon centre-back the eighth-best footballer on FIFA 07, which was absurd then and is even more absurd looking back at it. FIFA 07: Cris (89)Ĭris was a pretty good defender - but 89?! On the same game, Ronaldo was rated 83 with a potential high of 91. The Barcelona legend, who is now widely regarded as the best footballer of all time, was a 75-rated player at the age of 18 - with a potential of just 78. FIFA 06: Lionel Messi (75)įootball Manager knew that Lionel Messi was a future superstar from a young age, but EA Sports clearly had no idea. The Newcastle United and England midfielder had the same rating on FIFA 05 as, wait for it… Cristiano Ronaldo. Kieron Dyer was a half-decent player at his peak and if it wasn’t for injuries, he could have been a top footballer.
