FIFA 15 - 10 Players Who Will Definitely Be Underrated
6. Lewis Holtby
It might seem a little odd to include someone like Lewis Hotlby in a list otherwise populated by superstars: the German international looked unfairly unappreciated at Spurs last season as he was shipped out to Fulham where he was ultimately relegated, but things will change this season. Under Pochettino, with a new system, Holtby will be a far more key member of Spurs first-team, which may not be reflected in FIFA's initial rating, which will surely be more likely to take into account the fact that he was cast off under AVB and Sherwood, and suffered relegation to the Championship when he was given a first-team place Fulham. Last year, Holtby's rating did reflect some potential for growth, with a potential rating of 84, but his starting rating of 78 is unlikely to be retained at the start of this year's game because of the events of last year. And if EA Sports take away his potential - which was spot on last year - then Holtby will be doubly under-rated. Rating In FIFA 14: 78
