FIFA 17: 10 Players Who Deserve A Ratings Upgrade
10. Jamie Vardy - FIFA 16 Rating: 71
This time last year, Jamie Vardy was still ‘pinching himself’ having made his international debut just four years after plying his trade in non-league football. Little did he know the dream was only just beginning.
The former Fleetwood Town star is now a household name in English football, having exploded into life, netting 24 goals as Leicester stormed to the league title, before bagging against Wales at the European Championship and spurning the advances of Arsenal. Oh, and there’ll be that Hollywood movie adaptation on his life, so watch out for that.
These are stats not befitting of a ’71’-rated player. Not a player who was supposedly an inferior player to the likes of Rudy Gestede and Ross McCormack. It is one of the most incredible stories in sporting history, and despite the fact that the speedster will enter his 30’s this season, don’t be surprised to see one hell of a leap from last year.
