FIFA 17: 10 Ratings They Got Wildly Wrong (Based On Last Season)
7. Moussa Sissoko
FIFA 17 Rating - 80
Don’t be fooled into thinking that Sissoko has been treated unjustly by EA in light of the Frenchman’s electric displays in France at Euro 2016. His performances for Les Bleus on home soil, which reduced national darling Paul Pogba to the role of aimless shade dabber, were the exception rather than the rule. An exasperating anomaly.
Ask any Magpies fan about Sissoko and they’ll tell you he is a legend of his own making, and one very capable of posting a lengthy sequence of listless and disinterested displays, only performing at full capacity on the occasions when the Premier League’s biggest clubs comprised the opposition or the television cameras were in close quarters.
A symptom of the rot that culminated in Newcastle’s relegation. A meagre return of one goal last season doesn’t exactly paint the picture of an 80-rated attacking midfielder, regardless of his performance level on the international stage.
