FIFA 15: 15 Ludicrous Ratings EA Sports Need To Fix
13. Branislav Ivanovic - 80
As one of the Premier League's finest defenders last season, we find Branislav Ivanovic's rating to be far too low. The Chelsea right-back only mustered a score of 80 points in FIFA 14 and we consider that to be unacceptable. Ivanovic's contribution to his side exceeds mere defending, with the Serbian international scoring a remarkable five league goals in 2012-13. That means EA had no excuse to hand the defender his dismal score last summer, and likewise have no excuse to do so again in successor '15. The 30-year-old formed part of the Premier League's best defence last term with Chelsea conceding just 27 times - no other side in the division let in fewer. In addition to that, Ivanovic scored three league goals last season and has already opened his account and provided an assist this term, as well. Ivanovic would not look out of place were EA to increase his paltry points score to a more respectable 83 in FIFA 15, for there were few better defenders in English football last season than the Chelsea star, who was a major factor behind his side's third-place league finish in 2013-14.
