POSITION: GK - DIVING: 86 - REFLEXES: 88 - HANDLING: 81 - SPEED: 65 - KICKING: 71 - POSITIONING: 81 Spurs goalkeeper Hugo Lloris has found himself with a strong rating on this year's edition. He has risen from 84 after a solid season for Tottenham last year and is amongst the best goalkeepers both in the world and on the game. His acrobatic style is set to be reflected in the new game and Lloris is going to be a sensible buy in many Premier League FUT squads.
44. Javi Martinez - Bayern Munich (85)
POSITION: CB - PACE: 53 - DRIBBLING: 68 - SHOOTING: 61 - DEFENDING: 84 - PASSING: 72 - PHYSICAL: 85 He'll be spending most of the season on the sidelines following a recent injury, but Javi Martinez has moved from a defensive midfield position to a primary centre half of FIFA 15, thanks to the imaginative Pep Guardiola. Martinez will be a good ball playing defender and also offers good height in the air. His rating has slightly improved from last year and could be a good option for Bundesliga squads - especially given the plethora of talented midfielders the country boasts.
43. Sergio Busquets - Barcelona (85)
POSITION: CDM - PACE: 56 - DRIBBLING: 75 - SHOOTING: 59 - DEFENDING: 81 - PASSING: 78 - PHYSICAL: 80 Sergio Busquets would almost be a carbon copy of Javi Martinez if they were given the same position card. Near identical statistics and a likely cheap buy in price will make Busquets a good player to start with in people's FUT squads. His lack of mobility in midfield may be a factor, but he boasts a decent physical rating to shun opposition attackers. Busquets won't be a bad player to rotate in.
42. Jérôme Boateng - Bayern Munich (85)
POSITION: CB - PACE: 77 - DRIBBLING: 69 - SHOOTING: 50 - DEFENDING: 83 - PASSING: 66 - PHYSICAL: 82 German centre half Jerome Boateng has had a significant boost from FIFA 14, moving up from a meagre 81 ranking last year. His performances in the World Cup for the new world champions has likely helped his cause, and his solid ratings across the board are perhaps justified given he's also a Bayern Munich regular.
41. Juan Mata - Manchester United (85)
POSITION: CAM - PACE: 74 - DRIBBLING: 87 - SHOOTING: 75 - DEFENDING: 31 - PASSING: 84 - PHYSICAL: 60 Diminutive maestro Juan Mata has been part of an ailing Manchester United side since the turn of the year, and that factor, coupled with his lack of playing time at Chelsea before his move, is perhaps the factor for the drop from 87 last year. Mata hasn't really made his impression at Old Trafford yet, but he still boasts massive quality that will likely come at a big price on FUT.
