I feel kind of bad. I'm trying to get through various big story games like Red Dead Redemption 2, The Witcher 3, and a Skyrim replay, but you know what? I just keep playing FIFA. I'm addicted to this series. I play every single installment with a sort of mad, fevered passion, neglecting bigger games just to spend more time taking my team from glory to glory. That's not to say that the games are flawless. Every single year there are one or two things that just hit me the wrong way. This year, it was getting used to the timed shot system and the AI's various improvements, and, the universal constant, player ratings. For the most part, I really think FIFA 19 has nailed player ratings, but some of them are just baffling. 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:I've talked about this before, but I didn't have the space to get rid of the goat that FIFA gave me.
In this article, I'm going to try and be less grumpy. I'm going to praise 10 player ratings that I think the game got spot on, as well as kvetching about 15 others that it really, really didn't. Playing this game more, and finally getting my team into the Champions League, has shown me that it's not only English players that FIFA occasionally throws under the bus (or indeed, award a first class ticket, complete with complementary toadying from the driver). Let's get started: here are 15 of the stupidest FIFA 19 player ratings and 10 of the best.
25 Ridiculous: Son Heꦓung-min – 84 🉐
Son Heung-min is fantastic. As a neutral fan, whenever I see him play for Spurs (or indeed, South Korea), he leaves me spellbound. He’s fast, skillful, and capable of cracki💫ng in goals and making it look easy. Look at his record for Tottenham: in 107 appearances, he's scored 50 goals, and created countless more. Why then, is he only rated at 84? As anyone who saw him play at the World Cup would agree, he deserves to be up around 88.
24 Ridiculou♕s: Antoine Griezmann 🌸— 89
If I were Antoine Griezmann, I'd be wondering what I had to do to appease the FIFA gods. They're happy to give Neymar, who comes unstuck anytime he plays someone who isn't a French farmer, a massive rating, but Griezmann is stuck on 89. He pulled Atletico Madrid into a commanding position in La Liga, and played beautifully in the World Cup for France. For heaven's sake, the man was Man of the Match in the hard-fought World ൩Cup final! He needs to be 90-92.
23 ♔ Love: Gianluigi Donnarumma🦋 — 82
As the FIFA commentary reminded me the other day, D🐟onnarumma is a goalkeeper with reach as long as his name. He’s an incredible goalkeeper, and easily lining up to take Buffon’s spot as the Gigi and goalie of choice. Want even more? He's not very expensive at all, costing somewhere around £30 million. Grab him in career mode, and you're set for years to come. Rated at 82 and just 19 years old, he’s a player you can easily get up to 90+ through training, letting him stop basically everything but the very best shots.
22 Ridic💎ulous: Stephan El Shaarawy – 82 🧜
This Roma player might not ever be regarded as world-class (mainly because everyone forgets the poor lad exists), but god knows he’s better than this. A fantastic player with excellent technical skill, he used to be very highly regarded, but has basically escaped non-Italian fans' memories. Easily one of the top players in Serie A at the moment. Since he moved to Roma, heཧ's helped the club escape the morass it's found itself in since Francesco Totti retired. He is definitely deserving of a rating around 85.
21 ܫ Ridiculous: Paulo Dybala – 89
People go mental about Paulo Dybala, and I've never quite understood the hype. Yes, the Argentine is a good player, but people compare him to Eden Hazard. That's barmy. Yes, he's "better" than Hazard in terms of goals scored, but only if yo𒊎u don🀅't factor in that Serie A is a less competitive league than the Premier League, which is probably the most competitive one on Earth. Knock him down to 86-87 and you'd have Dybala more accurately reflecting his skill level.
20 ꦦ Love: Malcom▨ — 81
Malco♊m is one of the most promising young players going. He's just 21 years old, and starting for Barcelona. Before that, he played for Bordeaux, where he put in a good enough performance to get signed by the Spanish club, who are, let's face it, probably the best club in the world. I have no doubt that as he matures, he'll be a starter for Brazil and a regular at Barca. Until then though, he's dirt cheap and a fantastic player. Grab him while he's ꧙still young and train him into a world-class performer.
19 🤡 Ridiculous: Virgil Van — 85
Few would have seen Van Dijk for the defender he is. However, since arriving at Liverpool, he has reinforced their defense, helping strong-arm it into a commanding position as one of the league’s best. If there's a player wh🍃o this guy can't stop, iꦗt's fairly likely that nobody could. He deserves a better rating, and I can't help feeling that his nation's substandard performance of late is what's holding it down. He should be rated somewhere around 88.
18 💧 Ridiculous: Juan Cuadrado — 84
Another Juve player, to rate Juan Cuadrado at 84 is insane. He’s distinctly average, both for Juventus and for ဣthe Colombian national side. He's 30, and he's just kind of boring to watch. Playing basically every🌜where on the pitch (which is rarely a good sign), look at his goal record for some proof. In 31 appearances for Juve, he's scored just five goals. While at Chelsea, he didn't score at all. The football equivalent of a B-list celebrity, pull him down to 81, and you'd have Cuadrado down pat.
17 🦹 Love: Adama Traore — 75
He may have been playing for second-tier side Middlesbrough last season, but since then Adama’s had a hot transfer to Wolves, who consistently overperform. His outrageous speed has been rewarded, with EA maki🌳ng him one of the paciest players in FIFA, and he’s rated 75 at the still eminently trainable age of 22. If you want to get a fantastic, cheap winger (for whom speed is basically all that matters), then you need to get Adama into your squad, stat!
16 ꦆ 💝Ridiculous: Mauro Icardi — 87
While Inter may not be in the spotlight right now, Icardi certainly deserves to be. Strikers don't come much more dangerous than this Argentine. In 168 games since joining Inter from Sampdoria back in 2013, he's scored a cracking 107 goals. He's got plenty more ahead ofജ him too. Last season alone, he scored 29 times in 36 games. He absolutely deserves to be somewhere around 89 or 90, rather than languishing in the mid-80s, just three points above the really, really average Cuadrado.
