Liverpool’s complete FIFA 17 ratings: What they should be
CB Mamadou Sakho /// Predicted FIFA 17 OVR 81 /// Latest FIFA 16 OVR 81
What’s gone on with Mamadou Sakho?
Before failing his drug test, that’s since been rescinded as a classic “my bad” from UEFA that’s come with irreparable damage, he had formed a solid partnership with Lovren and finally was emancipated from being overlooked by Brendan Rodgers.
Seriously, there was a time when fans were absolutely clamoring for him to be the starting center back. He was favorite as being the best defender on the books for a while, as recent as last season before Lovren remembered how to play football.
Nowadays, it’s Klopp telling Lovren in no uncertain terms to “GET OUT OF MY HOUSE!” and leave on loan because he has no immediate future at Liverpool. Sakho isn’t even in the dog house because that’d insinuate that he made it in Klopp’s backyard. Nope. He’s down the block, in a dumpster somewhere. Way off the map.
In FIFA, Sakho is always a solid choice. He isn’t the tallest, but he’s physical and doesn’t have a catastrophic turn of pace. In fact, it’s pretty decent, decent enough to keep up with attackers in the final third.
