AM Sheyi Ojo /// Predicted FIFA 17 OVR 70 /// Latest FIFA 16 OVR 63

Of all the Liverpool youngsters, Sheyi Ojo is the one that has impressed me the most. Jurgen Klopp seems pretty keen on the winger too, handing him a variety of chances in cup games and the league last season.

With a FIFA 16 rating as low as 62 (on Ultimate Team), Sheyi Ojo has certainly proved he deserves a hefty upgrade.

For a start, he only has 79 acceleration and 73 sprint speed in FIFA 16. If EA have watched a minute of Ojo on the ball, they’ll be sure to bump those stats right up. I’m not sure he deserves 90’s, but perhaps something around the 85 mark for sprint speed with a slightly higher acceleration would be right on the money.

Ojo has also shown his dribbling capabilities surpass that which EA have given his in-game player. With improved pace, dribbling and shooting (please see that left-foot beauty against Exeter City) I’m sure Sheyi Ojo will be given a rating around the 70 mark.

With that increase, he’ll be a silver card on Ultimate Team, ranked one less than Jordon Ibe was at the end of FIFA 16. This increase would certainly make him more useful in career mode, and his growth in that mode could be very interesting.
