FIFA 14: 10 Players You Must Use Before FIFA 15

6. Ashley Cole

Ashley Cole€™s current overall rating of 85 makes him the best left-back in the entire game on paper. Anyone who watches the news will know this evaluation of Ashley Cole€™s skill is off-the-mark as he was controversially left out of England€™s World Cup squad; instead, the more youthful combo of Leighton Baines and Luke Shaw were chosen for the position. Cole would subsequently retire from international football. When it rains it pours, or so the saying goes. This proved true for Ashley when €“ after the England snub €“ he was also released from Chelsea. While he had still played well when picked, for most of the season Cole was dropped by Mourinho in favour of the younger César Azpilicueta. Cole has expressed that he is looking for a new club, but who knows where or even if we will see the left-back playing football next season. If he is successful in finding a suitable club, expect Ashley Cole to be heavily downgraded from his 85-rating on FIFA 14. It would be prudent for you to make the most of the world€™s best left-back while you still can. His 92-sliding tackle, 87-standing tackle and 82-interceptions make him incredible difficult to get past on the wing.
