REVIEW DANNY WELBECK FIFA ONLINE 4 SERIES

With regards to Carrick though, he is truly an underrated member of the Manchester United squad, and does way more than he receives credit for.įletcher, on the other hand, is good, but often receives more credit than warranted. I don't have anything to really say about Gibson, other than he isn't Manchester United quality. I expect to hear many complaints about Gibson being rated too high and Carrick being a poor midfielder, or Darren Fletcher being much better than 81, but I believe the ratings for all three midfielders are fair. Seventy-three is just too low of a rating after two successful seasons, and a plus-2 or 3 would not be asking too much, even if his form this season was not taken into account. Anderson was frustrating for most of the season, but put in an excellent performance against Schalke in the Champions League semifinal and Blackpool in the final league game of the season.Īs for Cleverley, the youngster was a contributing regular for Wigan in 2010-11 and had a very successful season with Watford in 2009-10. In the case of Cleverley and Anderson though, I think both deserve a plus-1 based on last season's form. Chris Smalling, Phil Jones, Tom Cleverley and Anderson are all much better now than their FIFA 12 ratings suggest. It seems like Manchester United will have to wait until FIFA 13 to have the base ratings of all its new talents improved. Who would've thought that Michael Carrick would be Manchester United's highest rated central midfielder in FIFA 12? As with Chris Smalling, I would rate both players significantly higher now, and hopefully EA Sports will slowly increase their ratings in their updates as the season progresses.įabio, Rafael and Jonny Evans' ratings all look pretty fair to me, as does Patrice Evra's. An 85 would've been the most appropriate rating for Ferdinand.įor Phil Jones, his rating is fair considering its based on the 2010-11 season. It's ridiculous that he was rated 88 in the demo, and 87 isn't nearly a sufficient drop.Ĭonsidering how injury-prone he's been over the last couple of seasons, the highest I would've rated him would've been 86, which would've (ridiculously) put him on par with John Terry. Rio Ferdinand's rating, on the other hand, is considerably higher than it should be. Vidic had a rating of 90 in the demo, and considering he is easily the world's best center-back, that rating seemed fair. Nemanja Vidic's rating is arguably too low. Most of the rating issues with defenders on FIFA 12 seem to arise with central defenders, and Manchester United is no exception. Note: Players rated below 70 are excluded. So, taking into everything into consideration, how did Manchester United's overall season affect the ratings of its individual players in FIFA 12? Was league glory enough to offset the failures in other competitions? The 4-0 loss to West Ham in the Carling Cup was also rather painful, even if the United lineup for that game included a number of backup players, as the competition isn't highly regarded by SAF. Sir Alex Ferguson's boys were badly outclassed in the Champions League final against Barcelona and were disappointingly knocked out of the FA Cup by cross-town rivals Manchester City. The Red Devils comfortably won the Premier League by a nine-point margin and made it to the Champions League final, dispatching Marseille, Chelsea and Schalke along the way.īy Manchester United's high standards though, the season wasn't amazing. The 2010-11 season was a fairly successful one for Manchester United.

I plan on reviewing Manchester City later this week, most likely concluding the series there (save for any individual requests). So far, I've reviewed Tottenham Hotspur, Real Madrid, FC Barcelona, Chelsea FC, Liverpool FC and Bayern Munich. Welcome to my seventh FIFA 12 player ratings review article.
