When it comes to FIFA cover stars, of course they're going to be treated kindly. EA can't allow the player on the box to be a disaster, even though I'm sure they weren't expecting Jordan Henderson to triumph in the eyes of the fans. Every season the cover star will automatically be overrated, so this article is certainly not against Henderson. He is a truly excellent young player with a huge future ahead of him, therefore he deserves a high rating, but in one way or another, EA will give Henderson a little extra sparkle, especially with the departure of Steven Gerrard. He's expected to take up the mantle, so EA will give him a little helping hand.
