FIFA 15 Ultimate Team: 10 Legends Who Were Criminally Overlooked
4. Ronaldo
Suggested Rating 92 Nowadays his relaxed attitude to fitness and conditioning has made Ronaldo the butt of many unkind jokes, but around a decade ago the Brazilian was one of the most feared strikers on the planet and without a doubt one of the most natural finishers in the history of our beloved sport. Cristiano Ronaldo is doubtless the more impressive athletic specimen but any objective football fan would admit that the Brazilian who shares his name was the more dangerous goal scorer. One of Brazils many problems in the 2014 World Cup was that without Neymar on the field the likes of Fred and Hulk looked completely disinterested. The Ronaldo of 1998 would have been the type of talent capable of lifting the woeful Brazilian side we all witnessed this summer. Indeed, Ronaldo was the rare type of footballer who played just as well for his country as he did for the list of top European clubs he graced with his legendary talent. In the 98 appearances he made in the iconic yellow shirt of Brazil, Ronaldo scored an ultra-impressive 62 goals. Despite failing to meet the fitness requirements needed by 99% of the players of the modern game, Ronaldos natural talent alone was enough to ingrain him in the memory of football fans as being one of the greats. One of only three men to be named FIFA World Player of the Year three times (alongside Messi and Zidane), Ronaldo should definitely have been made a Legend on FIFA 15.
