FIFA 15: 10 Over-Rated Teams Who Need Downgrading

4. Fulham (4 Star)

Nigel French/EMPICS SportNigel French/EMPICS SportAtt: 71 / Mid: 74 / Def: 72 Fulham used to be one of the better-run Premier League sides, distinguished for their solid management and organisation. In their woeful 2013/14 campaign the south-west London club were anything but well run. Under the new chairmanship of Shahid Khan, Fulham got through three managers in a single season (Martin Jol, Rene Meulensteen and Felix Magath) and seemed to lack any direction as a result. In a bid to save their woeful season Fulham frittered away £11 million on striker Kostas Mitroglou from Olympiakos in January who started just one game and failed to score a single goal. Rather than supplementing their offence they arguably would have been better served buying an entirely new back four as Fulham had by far the worst defensive record in the league. It came as no surprise when the club were relegated to the Championship after 13 years in the top-flight. It seems obvious that Fulham should be downgraded to reflect their relegation and lack of potency on the field, though they might have ensured a few more goals with the signing of former Leeds man Ross McCormack.
