Signed on loan during the 2014/2015 season from Liverpool, the Uruguayan only came to the fore towards the end of the season. Manager Dick Advocaat put his faith in Coates and he delivered with a series of fantastic battling performances as Sunderland hung onto their Premier League status with one game to spare. A base rating of 71 in FIFA 15, Coates development has been severely hindered at Liverpool where he only made 12 appearances in two seasons. Still only 23 years old, Coates has a lot of time to improve and cement his place in the Sunderland defence. Ill go with a base rating increase of +2.
