FIFA 15 Ultimate Team: 10 Legends Who Were Criminally Overlooked

Suggested Rating €“ 91 One of the biggest surprises from the recently revealed FIFA 15 player ratings was that Manuel Neuer had been ranked as being one of the greatest players in the world. This certainly isn€™t because anyone is dubious of Neuer€™s talent, but because EA Sports traditionally have reserved the highest player ratings for outfield stars. Years before Neuer burst onto the scene with his sweeper-keeper style there was a different commanding presence in between Bayern€™s goal posts €“ Oliver Kahn. Though the 6€™4€ Neuer has the edge over Kahn in the size deparment, most fans would agree that the so-called Titan had the more commanding presence in goal. Indeed the man who the press dubbed The Volcano had his defenders so terrified of his wrath that they were forced to perform well. His domineering presence certainly inspired success, as during the 14 season he spent with Bayern the club won eight Bundesliga titles, six DFB-Pokals, the UEFA Champions League in 2001 and the Intercontinental Cup. Kahn was equally brilliant for his national side, not only winning the prestigious German footballer of the year award in 2000 and 2001 but also being one of the few keepers to receive the Golden Ball award for being the best player of the 2002 World Cup. Keepers have been well represented on EA Sports€™ roster of Legends with Peter Schmeichel deservedly joining their ranks in FIFA 15. Kahn is widely regarded as one of the greatest keepers ever, so it is baffling that he remains excluded from the list of Legends.
