FIFA 14 Rating: 68 In FIFA 14, the Nigerian was strong, powerful and good in the air, and there was always the potential to grow his rating up to his potential of 74, and while he looks in danger of occasionally sabotaging his own career - either through poor discipline or comically bad performances like his jaded role in Celtic's defeat to Juventus last year, he's still a strong squad member. Some of his defensive qualities in last year's game left a lot to be desired, and were occasionally a little harsh, which accounts for the increase of 2 rating points this year. He should arguably have started out as that rating last year in the first place, so it's not really reflective of an improvement in the player (even though at times he did warrant individual praise), but more a redressing of a slight error in rating. The centre-back is hardly going to be pulling up too many trees, but he's a good presence to have if only for aerial duels, and his power should be key for dealing with more fleet-footed, lighter attackers.
