FIFA 15: 10 Under-Rated Teams Which Need Upgrading
8. Liverpool 4.5 Stars
Att: 78 / Mid: 79 / Def: 79 Liverpools 2013/14 campaign may have ultimately ended in disappointment but they still came within a hairs breadth of upsetting the financial superpowers of the league like Manchester City and Chelsea by winning that coveted title. Things may have taken a nose-dive in the final few games but Liverpool have most certainly proven themselves to be a 5 star calibre team. Even with the loss of Luis Suárez, Liverpool are still worthy of more than a 78 offensive rating. The terrorizing trio of Suárez, Sterling and Sturridge may have been broken up but the dynamic duo which remains will still be more than enough to give most defences problems. The midfield with the aging yet still very talented Steven Gerrard supplying the more youthful likes of Coutinho and Jordan Henderson also proved to be extremely effective last season. If you were going to criticise one aspect of the Liverpool squad it would be their defence. The team operated on a score more than our opponent philosophy which meant that they conceded more goals than the top five teams, despite coming second. The loss of Suárez may not be crippling but it means they will have to revise this philosophy. The addition of £20-million signing Dejan Lovren from Southampton is most certainly a step in the right direction.
