FIFA 15: 10 Players Who Will Definitely Receive A Higher Rating

3. Diego Costa (83)

Diego Costa has just enjoyed a phenomenal season in Spain, and is already tearing it up in England. Last term, Costa struck 27 goals in La Liga from just 35 appearances and was outscored by only Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo. His killer form in front of goal saw Atletico Madrid win their first Spanish title since 1996 while Costa also hit eight goals in nine Champions League appearances to inspire his side to an all-Madrid final against Real. The Brazil-born Spain international didn't impress that much at the World Cup, but then, none of Spain's players impressed at the World Cup, and that shouldn't affect his rating in FIFA 15. A world class striker, Costa has netted four goals from three Premier League appearances since moving to Chelsea this summer and is showing all the signs of a future club legend in the making. We think he deserves to be right up there among the very best strikers in the game considering Messi and Ronaldo were the only two players more prolific than the 25-year-old in Spain last season, and that alone warrants an increase to around the 86 bracket.
