Central Midfielders

With Milner staying in the midfield, Liverpool have some good options in the game.

James Milner /// CONFIRMED rating: 81 /// RTK’S PREDICTED rating: 80

Milner is king of Liverpool’s central midfielders, though he’s been playing left back for the beginning of this season. It’d be tough to see Milner break into the midfield with everyone fit, anyway.

Emre Can /// CONFIRMED rating: 80 /// RTK’S PREDICTED rating: 80

We predicted (and desperately hoped for) a big upgrade from Can and we got it.

Last season, he was criminally awarded a 75 but this season that’s been rectified, thankfully. At this pace he’ll be an 85 for FIFA 18!

Jordan Henderson /// CONFIRMED rating: 80 /// RTK’S PREDICTED rating: 80

Another right on the money, Henderson breaks into the 80’s finally. Well deserved to say the least, as he has been awesome to begin the season.

Marko Grujic /// CONFIRMED rating: 70 /// RTK’S PREDICTED rating: 74

biiiiiiiiiit of an overestimation on our part. To be fair, we had no idea what FIFA would do plus Grujic had dazzled us with preseason goals, including one against Barcelona, to cloud our ability to be unbiased.

Cameron Brannagan /// CONFIRMED rating: 70 /// RTK’S PREDICTED rating: N/A

We neglected to include Brannagan in the predictions, but he’s been given the same rating as Grujic despite Grujic clearly being in the first team and Brannagan being on the fringes.
