AM Sadio Mane /// Predicted FIFA 17 OVR 82 /// Latest FIFA 16 OVR 78

What a signing Mane’s been for Liverpool. A perfect addition to the team, worth every penny thus far and more.

If the add-on’s are met, the deal to sign Mane will be worth £36million. That’s a lot but it’s also a club record. This means we get to hear “record signing Sadio Mane, what a success he’s been…” rather than “record signing Andy Carroll…” So that’s nice too.

FIFA almost certainly won’t give him a +4 this season, but he’s worth it. And they’ll have to adjust in the winter update if they don’t if his early season form is anything to go off.

Mane took strides in his development at the end of last season for Southampton where he was consistent, then has jumped a few levels since joining Liverpool.

Irrespective of his overall, he’s going to be an absolute menace with his pace and dribbling.
