FIFA 15 Ratings: 10 Criminally Underrated Superstars

5. Angel Di Maria (86)

Despite excelling for both club and country over the last 12 months, EA Sports have made the perplexing decision to leave Angel Di Maria on 86 from last year's game and have failed to recognise the former Real Madrid midfielder's performances last season with an upgrade. Which is criminal considering the Argentinian was one of the best players in Spain in 2013-14. No player created more assists than Di Maria in La Liga last term, with the winger contributing 17. The 26-year-old also scored four goals in the league and three in Europe, being named man of the match at the end of the Champions League final after helping his side win 'La Decima' - a tenth European crown. Di Maria also shone at the World Cup with Argentina, scoring a crucial extra-time goal against Switzerland to fire his country into the quarter-finals and was named on the 10-man shortlist for FIFA's Golden Ball award for the tournament's best player. His performances yielded a British transfer record move to Manchester United this summer, but apparently weren't good enough for EA to give him even a one point increase, a decision which makes the Grinch look generous.
