Alexis Sanchez is quite often mistreated by EA. In last year's iteration of the FIFA franchise, the former Barcelona man was downgraded by three points from his FIFA 13 rating of 85, while this time he has only risen two points from his score of 82 in predecessor '14. That's despite the fact the forward put on a series of dazzling performances last season, providing 10 assists and scoring 19 La Liga goals for Barca. Sanchez's performances last term prompted Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger to shell out £35 million to bring the Chilean to England this summer, and though he has yet to fully settle in the Premier League, FIFA 15's rating system is designed to reflect the player's performances from last season, not this. As such, we feel the Gunner's latest recruit is undervalued. We feel Sanchez is far more deserving of his previous aforementioned rating of 85 from FIFA 13, for the South America has surely not depreciated in form over the course of the last two seasons. Though it may appear pernickety to argue for a one-point increase for the 25-year-old, we are fully prepared to champion his cause considering EA's historic penchant for overlooking the star. Enough is enough.
