FIFA 15: 10 Highest-Rated Premier League Players Leaked

5. Robin van Persie (88)

...88. Though van Persie has admittedly fallen from his lofty rating of 89 in FIFA 14, he is still Manchester United's highest-rated player in its successor and unfairly outscores Rooney by a point. This is despite the fact the Netherlands star endured a disappointing personal season in 2013-14. Van Persie scored 12 goals in 21 league outings last term but a succession of injuries, including one to his knee that saw him stretchered off in a Champions League clash against Olympiacos back in March, meant he was only able to play 10 full league games last term, and was unable to replicate the goal-scoring heroics of his debut campaign at the club that saw him put away 26 goals in 38 outings to win the Golden Boot award in 2012-13. Van Persie's largely-poor season last time out should have seen him overtaken by Rooney as United's highest-rated player in our opinion, while we also find it a little strange the Dutchman has still been able to outscore Diego Costa, who you will remember has only been granted a rating of 86, according to the leaks, despite enjoying a far-more prolific season in front of goal than RVP.
