FIFA 15: 10 Players Who Need Upgrading After World Cup
5. Arjen Robben 88
For the past few instalments of FIFA, Arjen Robben has been presented as being the apprentice of Franck Ribéry. Robben seemed doomed to always be regarded as Bayern Munichs second best winger, the flashier yet less effective alternative to the Frenchman. The 2014 World Cup saw Robben not only step up to be the best player on the Dutch side but also the man many have argued to be the player of the tournament. He showed that his effectiveness on the wing isnt reliant on being assisted by the extremely skilled playmakers of the Bavarian giants. Robben was still able to use insane dribbling skills and acceleration to beat defenders at the drop of a hat. Having penetrated down the wing, Robben kept defences guessing by either delivering a dangerous cross or cutting in to have a shot on goal with his reliable left boot. Whether you approve of the theatrics or not, he also won the Netherlands several crucial penalties which ultimately kept them in the tournament. Ribéry may have disappointingly been absent from Brazil due to injury but Robbens performance has confirmed that he is one of the worlds greatest players and arguably Bayern Munichs star.
