FIFA 14: 10 Players Who Were Criminally Underrated

6. Kevin Strootman (79)

Another midfielder who got something of a raw deal in the player ratings this year is Roma's Kevin Strootman. The 23-year-old is widely accepted as one of the best young midfielders in the game with his physical style of play and tactical awareness earning him comparisons to Manchester United legend Roy Keane. So much so, United were interested in the player up until recently, before Strootman was instead snapped up by Roma for ‚17 million. It's a pity EA don't quite rate Strootman quite so highly. With the Netherlands international adding goals to his game last season, he is looking more and more like the finished article and is certainly one to watch out for in years to come.
