FIFA 14: 10 Over-Rated Players Who Need Downgrading In January Updates
5. Nemanja Vidic (Man Utd) - 86
Though this season he has actually been getting some regular football for the first time in 3 seasons following an on-going knee injury, it is impossible to say that the Serb is worthy of his 86-rating, which puts him level with Vincent Kompany as the best centre back in the Premier League. When Kompany is on the field for City there is a palpable sense of security at the back indeed their clean sheet percentage with the big Belgium on the field is vastly higher compared to when he is not; in contrast, Manchester United in recent times have looked disorganised and lacking confidence defending, and with Vidic at the helm of this defence it is impossible to say he should be rated this highly. Man Utd's fall from grace this season (in comparative terms) has been based on defensive frailties, and it seems only fair that that should be reflected in the game.
