6. Roberto Firmino

Roberto Firmino's performances have been the subject of much debate among football fans in recent years. The Brazilian is lauded by many top managers as one of the best overall footballers in the Premier League and adored by Liverpool fans; however many detractors point to his lack of goal contributions for a top striker as a sign of an overrated player.

Regardless of your opinion of him, there is no doubting that Firmino wasn't quite able to meet his usually high standards of play last season for Liverpool. Though his performances on the pitch were solid enough, he only managed 9 goals in the league all season. For a striker in the league's dominant side, that can only be classed as a disappointment.

Firmino's shooting has therefore been downgraded to 80 but his overall rating has actually increased to 87. This is likely a case of EA wanting to upgrade more of the Liverpool players for winning the league, as players such as Anthony Martial, who had an excellent season for Manchester United, failed to get any upgrade whatsoever.
