It seems wrong to criticise one of the best African footballers to have ever played the beautiful game, but the fact of the matter is that the 33-year-old Samuel Etoo isnt the player he once was. This decline certainly wasnt reflected in FIFA 14 as the striker retained the explosive pace and finishing which made him such a force for Barcelona half a decade ago. After a mediocre stint with Chelsea in which the Cameroonian seemed to have lost his killer instinct as well as his pace, it came as a huge surprise when it was announced that Everton had signed the ageing striker. For better or worse, EA Sports are very reluctant to be overly harsh on drastically reducing the ratings of declining legends. Though Etoo will likely not retain his 90 acceleration and 91 sprint speed from FIFA 14, we still expect him to be unrealistically fast and a superb finisher in FIFA 15. Everton will be far more reliant on Lukaku in the 2014/15 to produce goals (a player who has himself been slightly overpowered in the past). Expect Etoo to be scoring far more goals on FIFA 15 than in real life. Which other over-powered players do you think will dominate FIFA 15? Share your thoughts below in the comments thread.
