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

4. Michael Essien

Last Season Rating: 81 By virtue of playing for AC Milan, Michael Essien's rating will not be reflected in FIFA 15, just as it wasn't in FIFA 14. Between 2012 and 2013, Essien played only 20 times for Real Madrid, having played just 14 times for Chelsea the season before, and yet EA Sports gifted him a rating of 81. That's higher than Shakhtar's Bernard (80), Romelu Lukaku (77) and Marc-Andre Ter Stegen (80) all of whom were more valuable to their teams last season. Yes, Essien might be downgraded slightly from 81 this year, but don't count on it - precedent suggests that he is somewhat reality proof in EA Sports' eyes, perhaps because of his past exploits.
