FIFA 15: 10 Over-Rated Players Who Need Downgrading
10. Clint Dempsey (Seattle Sounders) 81
Once upon a time Clint Dempsey was certainly worthy of an 81-rating but, sadly for the 31-year-old, those days are long gone. As a pioneer of the sport in the United States Dempsey has every right to return to his homeland and enjoy the game he helped popularise but his decision to return to the MLS this March finished any chance Dempsey had of deserving to retain an 80+ rating. Playing in a vastly less competitive league means that even if Dempsey runs the show State-side it would be hard to justify him being an 81. In the first half of this season Dempsey returned to Fulham a club he spent six long seasons with between 2006-2012 but was unable to help The Lilywhites avoid relegation, playing only seven games and failing to score. Once upon a time Dempsey would have offered the kind of offence from midfield which wouldve helped Fulham stay in the top-flight but no more.
