FIFA 17: 10 Ratings They Got Wildly Wrong (Based On Last Season)
10. Memphis Depay
FIFA 17 Rating - 80
It is a minor miracle that Depay’s rating hasn’t dipped below the 80 in this years game after a less-than memorable first season with Manchester United.
The Holland international was unveiled as United’s marquee summer signing in July 2015, some two months after his transfer was formally completed, with ex-Old Trafford boss Louis Van Gaal conceding that he was ‘forced’ to move early to sign Depay in order to fend off interest from Paris Saint Germain and Premier League rivals Liverpool.
It has turned out to be a lucky escape for Liverpool and a horrible misjudgement on Van Gaal’s part. Displaying early promise in the iconic no. 7 shirt, Depay has proven to be unmitigated flop and was unceremoniously usurped from his position by a teenage Anthony Martial early on in the season; the first of many a nadir to afflict his short United career, which is in danger of spiralling into obscurity.
Not exactly indicative of a player considered to be on the level of Dele Alli and a single rating higher than Sadio Mane.
