FIFA 16: If you want a classic international team with former glory and a fresh set of stars, England are a great bet. You can assemble a perfect balance of experience in the shape of Wayne Rooney and John Terry, and pace in the form of Raheem Sterling, Daniel Sturridge and Theo Walcott. Quality, power, pace, England have it all... Reality: Each year it's a case of seeing how overrated England are. Every single FIFA game notches them well above their level in reality, and FIFA 16 is no exception. On the face of it, England have a 100% winning record in their European Qualifier group. 30 points out of 30 available. Congratulations England, you toppled the mighty San Marino, behemoths Lithuania and fearsome Estonia... The story is recurring. England are excellent against the minnows, but can't hold their own against the best in the world.
