While a score of 83 would have been more appropriate during his first spell at Chelsea two years ago, it seems somewhat ludicrous now. Didier Drogba returned to west London earlier this summer following a spell away playing for Chinese side Shanghai Shenhua and Turkish outfit Galatasaray and his career appeared to be fizzling out until Blues boss Jose Mourinho made the remarkable decision to bring him back to England for a second spell at the club. But rather than playing the role of the club's main man in front of goal as he was once used to, Drogba is now a squad player at the age of 36 and will have to settle for a place on the substitutes' bench. The Ivorian's two appearances in the Premier League so far this season have both come from the bench and he is simply no longer an important first team player. So why EA have decided to slap a reported score of 83 on his head in FIFA 15 is beyond us, quite frankly, because he's nowhere near that good anymore. This rating, astonishingly, puts him one point behind Liverpool striker Daniel Sturridge and three behind Real Madrid's James Rodriguez, according to the leaks, which really is mad.
