FIFA 15: 15 Ludicrous Ratings EA Sports Need To Fix
5. Arturo Vidal - 85
As one of the world's best central midfielders, we can't help but feel Arturo Vidal is worth more than the 85-point rating he was handed in FIFA 14. Vidal has just enjoyed a fantastic season with Juventus, with his 11 Serie A goals firing them to the title last term, while he also provided five assists to cap off a virtuoso stand-out campaign. Vidal is known as Il Guerriero ("The Warrior") by the Italian press and his tenacious, tough-tackling style of play makes him Juventus's answer to Manchester City's Yaya Toure. His performances have been so eye-catching recently that City's neighbours Manchester United have been heavily linked with the midfield hard-man, who is one of the most in-demand players in Europe right now off the back of a brilliant World Cup tournament with Chile. We think a rating increase to around 87 would be more in keeping with his recent performances because Vidal really has been that good over the last 12 months. He was named in European Sports Media's Team of the Year for 2014 and Goal.com's best midfielder of the season just a year ago, and should be depicted as such in EA's latest football simulation game.
