Which Premier League players were barely noticed by FIFA 15 at the start of the season…
Hindsight is a wonderful thing, and looking back now it’s almost comical to see how poorly these players were rated by the FIFA 15 game. These stars of Arsenal, Manchester United, Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur – among others – have all missed out on points they undoubtedly deserve.

Click through our list below to see who we consider to be the biggest FIFA mistake of the current edition:
10) Tyler Blackett (Manchester United, 60)
Blackett is still only 20, and hadn’t appeared in any competition for United until this season – so it’s perfectly understandable that his rating would be low. However, he’s made ten appearances this season and proved that he could be the club’s next great defender – which is definitely worth more than 60.
9) Hector Bellerin (Arsenal, 61)
The pacey teenager found himself thrown into first-team action earlier this season, as the answer to the Gunners ongoing injury issues. He’s made 13 appearances in all competitions so far this term and has rarely looked out of place.
8) Nabil Bentaleb (Tottenham Hotspur, 68)
The Algerian established himself as a regular towards the end of last season, making 20 appearances. He’s continued to improve this term, making a further 17 appearances thus far, but is still not rated highly by FIFA.
7) John Stones (Everton, 71)
The youngster made 26 appearances in all competitions last season and won himself a call-up to the England squad. He was on the standby list for the World Cup, but still barely scraped a rating of over 70 on FIFA.
6) Calum Chambers (Arsenal, 70)
Chambers made 24 appearances for Southampton last season, earning himself a move to Arsenal. While his rapid rise didn’t truly kick-start until the start of this season with the Gunners, his rating could still have done with being a touch higher.
5) Danny Ings (Burnley, 71)
The 22-year-old banged in 26 goals in all competitions last season, and despite struggling with an injury at the start of the season, he’s adapted well to life in the Premier League – finding the net nine times thus far and attracting interest from a number of major clubs.
4) Nathaniel Clyne (Southampton, 74)
The 23-year-old full-back only made 29 appearances last season as he struggled to always hold down a first-team place. He’s already appeared 28 times this term, scoring three goals and earning himself a call-up to Roy Hodgson’s England squad.
3) Emre Can (Liverpool, 74)
The German youngster started the season slowly, but since moving into defence in mid-December he has been nothing short of a revelation. Playing alongside Martin Skrtel and Mamadou Sakho in a back three, the 21-year-old has become a firm fan favourite among Liverpool supporters.
2) Saido Berahino (West Bromwich Albion, 67)
The in-form striker has scored 16 goals in 25 games so far this season. Like Clyne he was called up into the England squad, but is still awaiting his first cap. The 21-year-old has also attracted transfer interest from a number of major clubs, including Liverpool and Tottenham.
1) Harry Kane (Tottenham Hotspur, 68)
The young striker has been sensational so far this season, scoring 23 goals in all competitions. After four loan-spells between 2011 and 2013, many Spurs fans could be forgiven for thinking Kane would never make the cut at White Hart Lane, but he certainly has now.
