Edinson Cavani has fallen down the rankings in FIFA 15, which will be celebrated by the many fans out there who consider him overrated. The Paris Saint-Germain striker has dropped from 87 last year to 86, though there will be some out there who would suggest he should have fallen further still - especially when you take into account Diego Costa's score. Ranked number 33 on EA's top 50-rated players list, the Uruguayan's score still appears too high, because he really hasn't been that impressive over the last 12 months and he flopped in the World Cup, scoring just one goal - and even that was from the penalty spot. His rating might have been more agreeable however had it not been for Costa's ridiculous score. If I were Costa, I'd feel somewhat aggrieved at being rated lower than a player I outscored last season, and perhaps rightly so. All of Cavani's core stats seem overblown, with his dribbling set at a generous 80 and his shooting 85. His finishing abilities clearly weren't that hot at the World Cup and you can't shake the feeling that the PSG man is overrated.
