CM Jordan Henderson /// Predicted FIFA 17 OVR 80 /// Latest FIFA 16 OVR 79

The Liverpool captain hasn’t enjoyed the best of times. He was out for most of last season due to injuries, and when he did play those problems still nagged away at him. A sore heel prevented him finding form, and as a result Henderson gained some doubters.

So far this season however, he’s returning to form and showing that he still posses the ability we know he has. His passing can be very useful when he’s on point, and his pressing has been strong under Jurgen Klopp.

He’s now occupying a more defensive role, and for that I feel his tackling could see a slight upgrade, along with his movement stats due to all his positive pressing.

His ball control should take a hit however, because that’s what seems to let him down the most. I think an upgrade by one should see Henderson placed at a rating I feel he deserves, with that going up to maybe an 81 if he continues his return to form.
