There's no denying Bastian Schweinsteiger has been one of the most influential midfielders in modern European football, but there's also no denying he is scuttling down from his peak after leaving Bayern Munich. The German giants reluctantly let him depart, but many fans felt it was the right time to give the younger generation a chance to grab his crown. Schweinsteiger was sitting on an 88 rating last season, and it'll probably linger at that level next year, even though it's probably time for EA to respectfully send him down a few notches.
