It hasn't been a great 12 months for James Rodriguez, so he should probably count himself lucky that the EA Sports have been quite merciful when deciding how much to chop off his rating.

The stage had been set for the world's most expensive South American, when he completed his second £60million plus transfer before the age of 24, following a stellar World Cup where he scooped both the Golden Boot and Goal of the Tournament.

The former Monaco playmaker has failed to light up the Santiago Bernabeu however, the weight of expectation threatening to swallow him whole as he struggled to compete with some of the world's most influential figures in the game.

Zinedine Zidane has insisted that he remains a part of his plans, but considering his reluctance to grant him much game-time as a starter last term, it would seem as though his days at the club may be numbered.
