Dimitri Payet has been one of the stars of the Premier League season, and while 81 is high, you have to wonder whether he'd be raised another notch or two if he played for one of the top sides. He's certainly talented enough for almost any team in the Premier League. The French wizard has been a major factor in West Ham's rise from being a 'good' side to a 'great' side, with 5 goals and 3 assists in 9 games from midfield. If he keeps up that pace, he'll statistically end the season as one of the top players in the entire league. He's been raised on EA Matchday up to around 84, and while that may be steep as a permanent rating, Payet's certainly worthy of an 82/83.
