FIFA 15: 10 Over-Rated Teams Who Need Downgrading

5. AC Milan (4.5 Star)

Milan fans will be eager to forget the 2013/14 campaign as quickly as possible. By early 2014 it was all too clear that Milan were having a terrible campaign, dipping into the second half of the table in February. Their chances of redeeming their abysmal league performance with a cup win were dispatched in embarrassing fashion by Udinese €“ a bottom half club €“ in the quarter finals. It should come as no surprise that this disappointing performance provoked a change in management in mid-January. However, while most of the failure was blamed on Massimilano Allegri, too little oweness was placed on the players. Eventually finishing eighth (three places below fierce rivals Internazionale), the players are certainly responsible too. The squad is now composed of too many journeymen and mediocre players for the current team to live up to the lofty expectations of Milan€™s legacy. It says a lot when the 32-year-old veteran Kaka €“ who has for the past few seasons looked well past his best €“ is the rudderless team€™s best player.
