Predicting Liverpool’s FIFA 16 Rankings
By Omar Shahin
Centre-Backs
Martin Skrtel: Skrtel didn’t have as good a season as he did in 13/14, he was rated 81 after that brilliant season, so it’s probably unlikely that he’ll be much higher than that. In my opinion, 81 seems about right for the Slovakian who, despite being Brendan’s first choice CB, is a liability sometimes.
Prediction: 81
Mamadou Sakho: Sakho was no doubt our most solid performer at the back last season and if any of our CBs deserve to have their rating increased, it’s Mamadou. But he was injured a lot of last season and so whether EA will actually increase him or not is debatable. I’m going to give him the benefit of the doubt and say he’ll get bumped up by 1.
Prediction: 82
Dejan Lovren: For some reason, no one knows why, EA gave Lovren a mid-season increase – from 79 to 80-halfway through last season. Now, I don’t like to be overly critical, but if anyone deserves a decrease in rating, it’s probably Lovren. But EA clearly found some reason to give him an increase around Christmas last year, so you never know.
Prediction: 78
Kolo Toure: Kolo was rated 78 last season. He didn’t really improve during the season, but he did have a couple of good performances – he was my man of the match at the Bernabeu-. So it’s unlikely he’ll go down in rating, but it’s also pretty unlikely he’ll be increased.
Predicition: 78
