WORLD TO 50 FOOTBALLERS! AS RANKED BY FIFA.

According to EA Sports, the list is based on player
performances over the last 365 days (both in club
and cup competitions), as well in-game statistics.
The developers claim that the latest instalment in
the series, due out on 25 September, uses the
most detailed up-to-date stats yet to accurately
recreate every player from all the key leagues
throughout the world. It currently works with the
Premier League to produce the EA Sports Player
Performance Index, which analyses player
contributions to each match based on five
criteria.
The top ten is, predictably, dominated by players
in the German and Spanish leagues – well,
Bayern Munich and Barcelona to be precise. We
do not get to a Premier League player until
number ten: Chelsea’s Eden Hazard – who just
happens to be the cover co-star for the UK
edition of the game.
