FIFA 17: Predicted player ratings for PSG
The latest edition of our favourite football game, EA Sports FIFA 17 is set to release in exactly a month’s time. The much-awaited game is coming out on multiple gaming platforms including PS3, PS4, XBox One, XBox 360 and PC.
FIFA 17 is one of the most anticipated games in India, and may also release on Google Play Store and Apple App Store.
The game includes a lot of new features including The Journey, which sees a young rookie live out his dream of playing in the Premier League, and the new Frostbite engine, which was previously used by EA Dice in Battlefield. FIFA has also changed the way set-pieces are taken, and AI players will make more intelligent runs.
Marco Reus is FIFA 17’s cover star, voted by fans among a selection of Rodriguez, Martial, Hazard and the German, himself.
PSG were exceptional last season once again, conquering the domestic league and cups. PSG won 4 titles last season, but their top priority was a good performance in Europe, at which they failed.
The French champions crashed out in the quarters to Manchester City, and that’s the main reason for Laurent Blanc’s departure from the club. In came 3 time Europa League winner, Unai Emery, who’ll hope to achieve Europe’s top prize. The side from Paris are embarking on a new and exciting chapter.
Let’s take a look at the predicted PSG player ratings in FIFA 17:
#1 Goalkeepers and defenders
Kevin Trapp: 82 → 84
The German became PSG’s No. 1, ahead of Sirigu, featuring in almost all of PSG’s matches at home and in Europe. The 26-year old kept 23 clean sheets and conceded only 25 goals in all competitions.
His performances last season should secure a starting spot and an increased rating.
Salvator Sirigu: 82 → 81
The Italian fell down the pecking order, making just 3 appearances in the season. Sirigu still has a lot to offer and needs to hang on to whatever limited opportunities comes along his way.
He’ll probably get a downgrade due to limited match time.
Maxwell: 79 → 81
The Brazilian is probably the most underrated left-back and had a good season at Parc Des Prices last year. He is solid in his defensive duties and is very effective on in attacks. He might be rewarded for a good season with a +2.
Kurzawa: 80 → 82
The Frenchman got limited time under his belt but impressed whenever he was given a chance. He scored 6 goals and provided 4 assists in just 20 appearances all season.
He’s started this season well too, with 2 goals in 2 matches, and should get a +2 bump.
David Luiz: 83 → 84
The most expensive defender in the world had an excellent season last time around, winning 4 trophies. He was solid at the back, and has brilliant aerial abilities, making him a huge goal threat from set-pieces.
The Brazilian might get a slight increase of 1 point.
Thiago Silva: 88 → 88
One of the best central defenders in the world, the PSG captain is the core of their defence. The highest rated defender in FIFA 16 did no harm to his 88 rating last season, leading PSG to 4 titles last season.
Silva is solid at the back, and should retain his 88 rating.
