5 FIFA 16 Player Rating Facts You Won't Believe

1. Cesc Fabregas Is TWO Ratings Above Yaya Toure

The man famous for having a severe dip in form in the second half of the season is actually enduring a pretty poor start to the current Premier League campaign. In spite of winning the Premier League title with Chelsea last season, Fabregas looked incredibly ordinary towards the end of the campaign. For that reason, his 87 overall rating is incredibly hard to justify - especially when you consider Yaya Toure is only an 85. 

Though Toure had a pretty average season himself in the 2014/15 campaign, he still amassed 10 league goals - meaning he has scored 30 league goals from central midfield in his last two seasons. On his day, Toure is unstoppable, and he has started the current Premier League campaign in terrific form. 

The case for there being that much of a gulf in class between Fabregas and Toure is fast-fading, and if Fabregas fails to find form, he may be in for a downgrade in the near future.
