DM Lucas Leiva /// Predicted FIFA 17 OVR 78 /// Latest FIFA 16 OVR 79

With Lucas Leiva seeing a decreasing number of games, I think we’re approaching the point when he starts to fade out of FIFA games. He’s still a useful player in real life, and the odd impressive performance serves Liverpool well, but he isn’t one of the main men anymore.

It’s clear he’s getting older, and he now only really features as a squad player or because of injuries. I think seeing a drop in his already low physical stats (sprint speed ect) could take him down to 78.

To me, 78 seems fair for where I feel Lucas is at the moment.
