FIFA 16: Predicting Every Newcastle Player's Rating

20. Mehdi Abeid - 69 (+4)

FIFA 15 FUT Rating - 65 A richly deserved plus four rating at that. Cast your minds back a year, who was Mehdi Abeid? He was merely one of those young players that looked like failing to reach their potential. The midfielder spent the 2013/14 season on loan at Panathinaikos, impressing so much that a permanent move to Greece looked to be on the cards. Thankfully, Alan Pardew gave the Algerian international his chance in the first team, which he grabbed with both hands. It was sad to see John Carver take a disliking to Abeid during his stint in charge. To this day, the notion of Ryan Taylor playing head of him in the middle of the park is utterly laughable.
