FIFA 14 rating: 81 Skrtel enjoyed an excellent 2013/14 campaign, having responded admirably to losing his place to the ageing Jamie Carragher the previous year. The 29-year-old was comfortably Liverpool's best defender- admittedly he was the best of a largely bad bunch- and his seven league goals made him the league's highest scoring defender. The Slovakia captain will likely see his rating improve slightly, but it won't go overboard because there are still question marks about just how good a defender he is. Some feel his goals last season masked some fairly inconsistent performances at the other end of the pitch. Skrtel looks set to be first-choice at Anfield alongside Lovren this season, and his pace and power should complement the Croatian's more aesthetically-pleasing style well. Aerially he is a beast, and he could be a lethal weapon from corners on FIFA 15.
