The fall of Italian football is so widely-documented you don't need me to tell you it's not exactly what it used to be. Still, Inter are starting a steady climb back to the top, and one of the main men leading the charge is Mauro Icardi. The 22-year-old Argentine striker bagged 22 goals and 6 assists in 36 games last season, and Inter will be hoping for similar figures this year if they are to maintain their excellent start to the season. Icardi is immensely talented, and still so young. Surely such an impressive return deserves higher than a 79-overall rating? Especially considering he found the net more times than Carlos Tevez (86), Gonzalo Higuain (84) and Jeremy Menez (81).
