FIFA 15: 10 Players Who Will Definitely Be Over-Rated

9. Hulk - Zenit

Last Season Rating: 84 There's no doubt that the Brazilian attacker is a true force to be reckoned with - particularly in the Russian league - but there's something not quite right with how highly FIFA (and indeed a lot of the media) have rated him in the past couple of years since he broke out at Porto. Yes, he is an explosive striker, and capable of out-muscling most defenders, but his shooting leaves something to be desired - as he proved several times during the World Cup - and his decision making is abysmal when he gets the scent of a spectacular goal in his nostrils. Too often he shoots wildly from distance, which just won't be reflected in his stats on FIFA, because of how comparatively prolific he is in Russia (16 goals in 24 games last year). As long as the English media continue to link the Brazilian to a move to Chelsea or Arsenal, his stats will reflect that affection for him, and while he was a disappointment at the World Cup, it's hard to imagine EA Sports will deviate much from his 84 over-rating.
