Karim Benzema's rating of 85 in FIFA 15 is static, for it has not budged from last year's game. That's despite the fact the Real Madrid striker was the fifth-highest goal-scorer in La Liga last season after netting 17 league goals. This score also appears dubious when you take a further look at his core stats. 74 for physicality? Really? His strength stats on last year's game was 75 - how has he gotten weaker? And 84 for pace? He isn't exactly a speed demon. These numbers don't really tally with us and we would have been tempted to move him up slightly to 86 - after all, the Frenchman is one of the best forwards in the business. Though Madrid endured a disappointing league campaign, finishing third, Benzema starred for them during their La Decima-winnning campaign, helping them scoop a tenth European crown by netting five goals in Europe, while he was also an important player in the squad that won the Copa del Rey. This is just one of a few scores on this list that you can take grievances with.
