FIFA 22\u2019s worst ratings: 10 players who need an upgrade already EA SportsFIFA ratings are always a hot topic of discussion and, with FIFA 22 now available to all fans to play, we\u2019re running through 10 players who have every right to feel short-changed by the ratings EA has given them. EA\u2019s player ratings never cease to provoke discussion and FIFA 22 is no different. While the developers claim to use complicated data analysis and algorithms to determine players\u2019 stats, there\u2019s always a few player ratings that leave fans baffled. FIFA 22 is no different. Here, we\u2019re running through 10 player ratings that just don\u2019t seem to add up. It\u2019s fair to say these players make some early candidates for January upgrade cards \u2013 often proof that EA\u2019s original rating was way off. 1. Mo Salah \u2013 89 It\u2019s very rare that an 89 rated player has been hard done by but, in the case of Liverpool\u2019s Mo Salah, he most certainly has been. A 90 OVR in FIFA 21, the Egyptian winger has been handed a downgrade of one. He\u2019s maybe a victim of Liverpool\u2019s poor Premier League title defence, but he still managed to notch up 22 league goals and 5 assists last campaign. His early season form in 21\/22 is arguably his best ever, and is genuinely making him a Ballon D\u2019or contender. 89 is harsh. 2. Allan Saint-Maximin \u2013 79 Another Premier League winger, Newcastle\u2019s Allan Saint-Maximin takes the second spot on our list. At 79, the super-silky Frenchman received a downgrade of one on his 80 overall from last year\u2019s title. This seems just plain wrong from EA, with the pacy trickster regularly putting Newcastle on his back and carrying Bruce\u2019s men over the line to safety. A downgrade of any kind seems unfair given the skill he continues to show against all oppositions. 3. Aaron Ramsdale \u2013 74 That\u2019s right, Aaron Ramsdale is a silver in FIFA 22. While only a 75 OVR last season, Ramsdale enjoyed a decent season \u2013 even if his Sheffield United side were one of the worst Premier League outfits in a long time. He\u2019s received a downgrade, however, becoming a silver in this year\u2019s title. We\u2019ll take this opportunity to remind you that he\u2019s already ousted Bernd Leno as Arsenal\u2019s number 1; the same Leno rated 83 by EA. This is one of the worst ratings we\u2019ve seen in years. 4. Connor Gallagher \u2013 74 Another PL player who is inexplicably silver is Connor Gallagher, the Crystal Palace midfielder who has been at the heart of Patrick Vieira\u2019s ongoing revolution at Selhurst Park. He had a solid season last year at West Brom, even if they too got relegated. The fact he\u2019s a silver and rated worse than teammates James McArthur and Will Hughes has us scratching our heads. 5. Joakim Maehle \u2013 77 Our first pick from out of the PL is Atalanta (on FIFA 22 as Bergamo Calcio) right-wing-back Joakim Maehle. The Danish speedster put in an awesome 20\/21 campaign for Genk and then Atalanta, before capping it all off with a run to the Euros semi-finals with Denmark. Rather bizarrely though, he\u2019s only been afforded an upgrade of one on last year\u2019s 76. This seems even harsher when we consider how well he\u2019s taken to the Serie A. We\u2019d expect a generous rating increase in any Winter Upgrades that EA has prepared. 6. Florian Wirtz \u2013 78 Bayer Leverkusen\u2019s attacking midfielder Florian Wirtz has been identified as the next Kai Havertz, expected to move to a European giant in the coming year. You wouldn\u2019t know it by looking at his FIFA rating though, with the young German sitting at a very modest 78. If he doesn\u2019t get a January upgrade, we expect a much-improved card in next year\u2019s title. 7. Bremer \u2013 76 Torino and Brazil center-back Bremer has proven himself one of Serie A\u2019s most consistent defenders, keeping the Turin side\u2019s backline incredibly tight. He is only a 76 overall though, despite regularly coming up against some of the world\u2019s best attackers and holding his own. He was a 71 in last year\u2019s game but, even factoring in the generous upgrade, he should still be better than scraping a gold card. 8. Luis Sinisterra \u2013 75 Our first Eredivisie entry is Feyenoord winger Luis Sinisterra. The Colombian starlet has been in scintillating form for the Rotterdam outfit, racking up 3 goals and 6 assists in just 20 league appearances last season. This season so far he\u2019s been even better, racking up 8 goals and 6 assists in all competitions \u2013 and it\u2019s still October. A 75 overall is far too low for someone who is not far off one of the best wingers in the Dutch top flight. 9. Illan Meslier \u2013 77 We\u2019re returning to England for Illan Meslier \u2013 the French shot-stopper who has made a name for himself as Leeds\u2019 number 1, despite being just 21 years old. Any keeper in Marcelo Bielsa\u2019s side would be expected to make plenty of saves, and Meslier does it week in week out for the Yorkshire side. In fact, he averages the highest number of saves in the Premier League. Not only does it say something about the way Leeds play, but it also says something about how inadequate a 77 OVR is. He\u2019s bizarrely lower than Ben Foster and Dean Henderson, for example. 10. Ben Brereton Diaz \u2013 71 We\u2019re staying in England but dropping down to the Championship for our last pick \u2013 Blackburn\u2019s Ben Brereton Diaz. The Chilean international has started the season in scintillating fashion, following on from a Copa America run to the quarter-finals with Chile. At 71 OVR, he\u2019s lower than plenty of Championship wingers. However, he\u2019s already been given a 78 OVR in-form by EA, going some way to show how unfair the 71 base rating is. That rounds off our list. Let us know who you think is awfully rated on FIFA 22 by tweeting us @DexertoFC!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
