FIFA 17 Rating - 79

Unlike Jamie Vardy and most of his other Leicester colleagues, Morgan’s overall rating of 79 doesn’t accurately depict that of a captain whose inspirational leadership and unerring consistency underpinned the Foxes’ fairytale Premier League title triumph and saw him make modern top-fight history as only the third player to complete every minute of a title-winning season.

For the entirety of the 2015/16 season Morgan marshalled a disciplined and relatively unchanged back-five, goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel included, that kept 14 clean sheets and conceded 36 goals. That record eradicated a worrying tendency to make fatal unforced errors and displaying a level of assuredness and defensive intelligence that even surprised manager Claudio Ranieri, who admitted to knowing little about the centre-back upon his appointment at the King Power Stadium in the summer of 2015.

Yet for some logic-defying reason he is rated four less than fellow 32-year-old centre-back Ashley Williams, who faced scrutiny last season for his erratic dip in form, which doesn’t exactly seem fair.
