FIFA 15: 10 Under-Rated Teams Which Need Upgrading
4. Everton 4.5 Stars
Att: 76 / Mid: 76 / Def: 77 Everton fans were dismayed when the announcement was made that David Moyes would be ending his 11 year tenure at the club for the vacant United job. The Toffees ultimately had the last laugh as Roberto Martínez guided the club to a fifth place finish ahead of Manchester United. Despite not having made any major signings, Martínez had the squad firing on all cylinders by utilising the loan market. Romelu Lukaku (on loan from Chelsea) finished as Evertons top scorer with 16 goals in all competitions while Gareth Barry (on loan from Manchester City) provided some essential experience in midfield. Everton have already signed Barry on a permanent basis and Martínez has hinted that a deal for Lukaku is in the pipeline. Several new promising young talents emerged last season who should give Evertons FIFA 15 rating a boost. Players like Ross Barkley, Josh Stones and James McCarthy (who was signed from Wigan) all enriched Martínez squad greatly. They may have narrowly missed out on Champions League football but the exceptional 2013/14 season at Goodison Park should definitely mean that Everton become higher rated in EA Sports popular game.
