FIFA 16: Marseille are an attractive alternative to PSG in the game. They are to Ibrahimovic & Co. what Dortmund are to Bayern Munich. They may not have a team crammed full of world megastars, but with a 4.5 star rating, Marseille are capable of beating just about anybody. Nicolas Nkoulou and Lassana Diarra provide solidity at centre back and central midfield respectively, while Remy Cabella, Michy Batshuayi and the rampant pace of Romain Alessandrini provide more than enough quality going forward. Reality: The seasoned French side have only recently ended a 5 game winless run after Batshuayi and Alessandrini both scored and assisted one another in a 2-1 win over Lille. Despite taking a much-needed three points, Marseille are sitting 14th in Ligue 1, hardly a position worthy of such a high FIFA rating.
