FIFA 15: 10 Players Who Need Downgrading After World Cup
9. Jack Wilshere 82
Once hyped up as the next star of English football, Jack Wilsheres spark certainly doesnt burn as brightly as it once did. Since the 22-year-old became a regular for Arsenal in 2010 it was believed that the 2014 World Cup would be the international stage on which Wilshere would become Englands next big thing. However, a career ravaged by persistent, frustrating injuries means that Wilshere no longer looks like the same player; his rating on FIFA 14 of 82 doesnt reflect this. Though he only got a start in the game against Costa Rica where Englands fate was already sealed, Wilshere looked short of the confidence and leadership which had once defined him as a player. His vision, passing and combination play which had Arsenal fans on the edge of their seats a few seasons ago was unable to open up Costa Ricas defence and he was eventually subbed off for veteran Steven Gerrard. If Wilshere were truly deserving of 84-long passing, 86-short passing and 86-vision he would have been far more useful to Englands disappointing World Cup campaign than he was. Suggested Rating: 79
