We have a winner. Of course it's Andrea Pirlo. FIFA 16 have given the Italian God a 93 score for passing, meaning that he is two higher than Xavi Hernandez's winning rating last year. Now playing for New York City, Pirlo will have the ability to carve open defences with his eye-watering through balls and delicate ball retention. There won't be many more finer passers of a football than Pirlo, so enjoy him while you still can, (we won't mention his 41 for pace and 51 rating for his defensive ability as it simply doesn't matter).
