FIFA 15: 15 New Legends Ratings Predictions

4. Hristo Stoichkov

Predicted Rating €“ 91 Hristo Stoichkov€™s long career, spanning well over two decades, resulted in his being given several different nicknames based on his style of play. Some of the most notable monikers the Bulgarian forward received were The Dagger €“ resulting from his ability to puncture a defense with his ridiculous acceleration and speed dribbling, The Modern Left €“ because of his preferred left boot and The Gunslinger €“ owing to the enormous power of his shots. Stoichkov€™s impact on the field meant that success followed him wherever he went. By far his most successful years were spent with Barcelona where the Bulgarian helped the Catalan giants win the La Liga title four consecutive times between 1990-1994. His success also extended to international football where The Gunslinger won the Bulgarian footballer of the year for five consecutive years and was the driving force behind their legendary 1994 World Cup campaign where they finished fourth. With his blistering pace and shooting ability the greatest Bulgarian footballer of all-time will doubtless be a joy to play with on FIFA 15. The introduction of the Emotional Intelligence system makes the introduction of the fiery forward even more interesting as Stoichkov was renowned for having a horrifying temper on the field. This aggression could well translate into the Barcelona legend lashing out during play.
