FIFA 16: Real Sociedad are La Liga's football hipster side in FIFA 16. Forget Barcelona, Real Madrid and Atletico. Don't bother with Sevilla, Athletic Bilbao or Valencia. Real Sociedad are a 4.5 star team with some relatively obscure talent backing up their claim to be a true Spanish contender/underdog. They come armed with four 79-rated central midfielders, 80 and 81 rated centre backs, while former Arsenal product Carlos Vela runs the show with an 82 rating. What's not to like? Reality: They're one of the more famous mid-average Spanish sides in the UK due to the fact that former Everton and Manchester United manager David Moyes is in charge. Things were looking good for a time following an excellent 7th place finish, but his position has come under huge pressure after a weak start to the season. Sociedad are 15th, and need to bounce back. Quickly.
