FIFA 16: 21 Hugely Underrated Players That Need Fixing
10. Branislav Ivanović
Current Rating: 81 - Potential FIFA 16 Rating: 84
Branislav Ivanović arrived in the Premier League back in 2008 as a centre-back, but in recent years his main position has been in right-back, and he is one of the best right-backs the league has seen. Although he might not have the pace some people may feel is required for a full-back, his defensive abilities manage to quash counter-attacks through reading and timely challenges.
This is Ivanović's best attacking season at Chelsea, scoring four goals and bagging four assists, with a brilliant pass completion percentage of 81.2%, creating 32 chances this campaign in the process.
Compared to Hector Bellerin, Antonio Valencia, Pablo Zabaleta, and Glen Johnson (the other clubs in the top 5 first choice right-backs) Ivanović has a much higher attacking score, and narrowly beats the reformed Antonio Valencia on overall performance score, according to Squawka.
He deserves a hefty upgrade in FIFA 16 because he is the best right-back in the league, and could possibly be seen as one of the best in the World. You have to admire his work ethic and determination to make sure Chelsea keep clean sheets and create chances every game, and his performances merit a hefty upgrade.
