FIFA 19: 11 Players Who Will Be Overrated

To say Álvaro Morata had a mediocre first season at Chelsea is an understatement. The Spaniard scored 15 goals in 42 appearances, which doesn't quite justify his huge price tag.

Purchased as a replacement for Diego Costa, Morata failed to live up to that standard. Chelsea has always thrived with a physical, scrappy striker at the forefront of the attack. These are traits Morata does not possess and he has struggled at Chelsea as a result.

However, to say these are new issues for Morata would be untrue. The Spaniard started his career at Real Madrid, where he made 37 appearances and scored only ten goals. Following his disappointing return over four seasons, he was shipped to Juventus where he made 63 appearances, scoring only 15.

Surprisingly, Madrid opted to invoke the buy-back clause and bring Morata back to the Bernabéu. That only last one season but his return was greatly increased; as he managed 15 goals in 26 appearances. Those stats were apparently enough for Chelsea to fork out so much. His inaugural season at Stamford Bridge was so underwhelming he wasn't picked for Spain's World Cup squad.

Nothing about Morata justifies his FIFA 18 rating of 84, let alone anything higher.
