Football Manager 2013: 10 Criminally Over-Rated Premier League Players

8. Peter Crouch (Stoke)

He has a JUMPING stat of 20, need I say anything else? This guy can't jump, or else he'd be playing for a big NBA team or for a top footballing team. I've watched him in countless games and he kinda strains his neck a bit and does a bunny hop into the opposition defender and then tries to head the ball in. Also he has a work rate of 18 which I think again is unrealisitic asIi've seen him in many games and he just doesn't do much at all aside was stand on the half way line till his team win the ball. He has good stats for finishing and heading, which is fair enough (I do rate him as a player) but to coin a film title of my childhood 'That White Man Can't Jump'.
