Some of our players are criminally underrated,hope the stats aren't final.

[jjd06e 37]

Well I am pretty sure those ratings are from in game videos, so if one of those players is out of position it would effect there ratings, causing them to be underrated. Say for example in the video they have Essien at dcm and Mikel at lm or rm, then Mikel rating in the video will be lower than his real rating because he is out of position.

[Kostas 1,468]

Even then some (like Bran or Cole) are waay off target,do you know any other "Big Team" ratings to compare?

[Kostas 1,468]

Thanks

Hopefully they're taking the piss,rating StevieMe and Mascherano over Essien,having Johnson over Bran(FFS) and Carra over Alex,Malouda rated as Nani and having Carrick 6 points over Mikel(!).

The worst was having Berbaflop 2 points over Anelka

Rodriguez 81 f*** outta here

There are probably many scousers at EA.

Edit:I do realize that overall ratings mean fuck all but they're a good indicator of the actual stats.

[Badboy 1,526]

They don't even change the ratings, if a player has a blinder one season they will give him extra points thats about it.

[BomTrett 50]

Ashley Cole, best left in the world....LESS than Evra. Fifas ratings are a joke sometimes, and Mikel for gods sake, how is he 76... Baffles me

[BomTrett 50]

Oh and those screenshots look amazing.

Kalou, Kakuta, Alex, Borini, Sturridge!!!

Spot on!!!

The rest are all great too

[BlueLion. 21,491]

Chelsea's stats SHOULD be:

Cech - 85

Ivanovic - 83

Alex - 86

Terry - 84

Cole - 88

Lampard - 88

Essien - 86

Mikel - 82

Ramires - 81

Malouda - 89

Drogba - 91

Anelka - 84

Kalou - 81

Something along those lines at least. Drogba was the best forward in Europe last year bar Messi!

I'd increase stats of Terry by 1 or 2 points, Essien by 2 or 3 because he is the best holding midfielder in the world, Ramires decreased by 1 or 2 because we haven't seen much of him in EPL and Kalou at 79 or 80. Think our youth like Bruma, PvA, Kakuta, Borini and Josh should get something around 73-77. Both Sturridge and Zhirkov at 80 and Bosingwa, Ferreira and Yossi at something around 80.

[Peace. 4,352]

Really disapointed by our players' stats...

• Cech 84 : Reina and Valdes are 85 -> Wtf ?!

• Ivanovic 77 : Sagna 82, Johnson 78, Dani Alves 83 -> Wtf ?! Last year Iva was one of the best RB with Maicon, so why Johnson and Sagna was over him ?!
• Alex 80 : for me it could be ok. But when i see the other CB i get stunned... Agger and Carragher 81, wtf ?!
• Terry 85 : it's more or less ok for me.
• Cole : as usual he is underrated compared to Evra...
• Mikel 76 : Wtf ?! In Fifa 2010 he has 81, does he decreased since last year ? Carrick and Fletcher have 82, Mikle should has 81 at least...
• Essien 84 : Maxherano over him, wtf ?!
• Lampard 87 : ok.
• Drogba 88 : ok.
• Anelka 81: he hasn't do a great season last year imo, so ok.
• Malouda 83 : Wtf ?! He was the best player of the best team in EPL, he deserve a 88.

[Kostas 1,468]

• Cech 84 : Reina and Valdes are 85 -> Wtf ?!

I think having Reina 1 point over Petr is fair,he was one of the best players of Liverpool last year and kept the same amount of clean sheets as Cech despite having a much worse defense.

Mikel's and Bran's overall better be 5 or 6 points higher in the game.

[Rambo 1,729]

I found a post on another forum from a guy who watched all those videos and looked at all the preview photos and these are the ratings he found in those photos/videos.

Chelsea

Cech 84

Ivanovic 77

Alex 80

Terry 85

Cole 82

Mikel 76

Essien 84

Lampard 87

Anelka 81

Malouda 83

Drogba 88

Wow Anelka and Essien`s rating really dropped.

well put, iva and mikel definitely deserve a higher rating as well as Malouda- at least an 85.

Can anyone suggest good right-backs? I'm Palace and I've just finished fourth in the Premier League and have a Champions League playoff coming up but still no decent right backs want to come to my team. I figured if I cracked Europe I could get players easily and RB is the only area I need to strengthen but still no luck.

If you want young players that'll develop really well here's a list, there all Right Backs:

Raul, 19, - Atl. Paranaence

Rafael, 19 - Man U

Davide Santon, 18 - Inter

Sebastien Corchia, 18 - Le Mans

Cesar Azpilicueta 19 - Osasuna

Loic Nestor 20 - Havre

Richard Stearman. 21 - Wolves

Kyle Naughton. 20 - Spurs

Daniel Opare, 18 - Real Madrid

[jjd06e 37]

Once again, those ratings were from preview photos and videos of in game lineups, it is possible that they had the wrong formation or have some players playing out of position which could hurt their ratings. I think this might be the case with Mikel, I bet they have Essien playing CDM and probably Mikel at like RM or LM. I bet Mikel is like an 81 or something but is a 76 when he is at RM. Possibly could be the same for Malouda if they have him playing LM when he should be playing LW or something stupid like that, I remember if you used Chelsea default formation in last years game he was never in a position where he reached his full rating because Chelsea did not have it.
