23. John OShea 73
The Irishman is the club captain and has been a key figure since joining from Manchester United for the 2011/2012 season. However due to his advancing age, OShea will get the typical FIFA bug of becoming a much worse player because hes over the age of 32. OShea managed 33 appearances in the Premier League last season and even the most ardent of Sunderland fans will have noticed his loss of pace and positioning in the centre half position. I think OShea will get a decrease to his base rating of -2.
