FIFA 15: 15 Ratings EA Sports Have Got Completely Wrong

4. Radamel Falcao (88)

You really do have to wonder just how much European football the so-called experts over at EA HQ have been watching over the last 12 months because if they'd seen any French football at all, they would know that handing Monaco striker Radamel Falcao a rating of 88 is totally ludicrous. Falcao has only gone down one point from last year's rating of 89 despite missing half of last season and the World Cup due to the knee injury he suffered back in January. The Colombian spent six months on the sidelines and only managed nine Ligue 1 goals as a result. So why then has his rating not been slashed further? Considered the 12th best player in the world today based off EA's top 50, Falcao has done little over the last 12 months to suggest he deserves a rating anywhere near as lofty. He's only five points worse off than the best player in '15 - Lionel Messi - which really puts things into perspective. Admittedly a world class player when fit, the ratings are designed to reflect performances over the last 365 days and Falcao simply didn't play enough - or score enough - during that period to deserve this score.
