We're just going to let you take this one in for a moment... Has it settled in yet? Right. Cesc Fabregas has been DOWNGRADED from FIFA 14, and has been rated just 84 - a decrease from his 86 in last year's game. That astonishing decision sees him just about scrape into the game's top 50-rated players when he should surely be at the opposite end of the spectrum. Fabregas's recent performances should see him sour into the top 20 rather than languish as the 46th best player in the game, and internet chat rooms and forums alike are already awash with fans' fury as the gaming community struggles to comprehend this unfathomable points score. Someone over at EA's HQ must have a SERIOUS grudge against Fabregas because he's done nothing to deserve a demotion. He scored eight goals and provided 13 assists during an impressive individual campaign but is likely being punished for a Barcelona season that saw them finish trophy-less and a World Cup that saw Spain crash out of the group stages.
