FIFA 15: 10 Unlikely Players Who Will Dominate The Game

10. Nani

EA SportsEA SportsAlthough Nani failed to register a single goal or assist for Manchester United in the Premier League last season, he could be saved from a hefty drop in stats thanks to EA Sports' tendency to offer big-name players at popular clubs special treatment. He certainly didn't impress under David Moyes last term, but the folks working on FIFA 15 are unlikely to slap him with the downgrade his abysmal 2013-14 campaign arguably deserves. Last term aside, few who've witnessed the Portuguese winger at his best would deny that he's a force to be reckoned with on his day. Freakishly skilful, quick off the mark and a decent goalscorer, Nani possessed every attribute you could ask from an attack-minded winger in FIFA 14: 88 acceleration, 89 dribbling and 85 ball control, 93 agility and 79 finishing. Thankfully, his selfishness on the ball in real life has no impact on his ability in-game, leaving you free to pass or dribble with his five-star skill moves as you see fit. In contrast, defensive contribution is one area of his game that you have limited control over. The 27-year-old isn't the type to dash 50 yards to commit a last-ditch tackle in his own penalty area, so it's hardly surprising that he was handed a low defensive work rate in FIFA 14. However, depending on your favoured playing style, his reluctancy to track back can be an advantage against teams with adventurous fullbacks.
