Sheffield United - Fifa 14

[MBoreman]

Thought it might be fun having a look at some of the ratings on Fifa this year, some of which are a bit dubious.

GK:
Long - 64
Howard - 61
Willis - 45

Defence:
McMahon - 63
Westlake - 61
Collins - 63
Maguire - 66
McGinty - 58
Kennedy - 54
Hill - 61
Williams - 63

Midfield:
Hall - 65
Flynn - 63
Brandy - 62
Baxter - 66
Doyle - 63
Cuvelier - 64
Coady - 59
Whitehouse - 55
McGinn - 65
McFadzean - 58
Murphy - 67

Strikers:
Taylor - 60
King - 73
Porter - 65
Miller - 61
Bunn - 60
Ironside - 50

Some notable stats: Hill 83 jumping, Brandy 91 pace, 92 balance and 91 agility, Taylor 83 pace.

Can't say I totally agree. Thoughts?

92 balance for Brandy? He's always falling over!

are these figures supplied by Family Fortunes

Murphy being our second best player is one that makes me smile

 

[KenMcnaughtsNuts]

Williams and Porter's ratings must be stuck in about 2008.

 

[Bladesman]

Murphy being our second best player is one that makes me smile

Probably would be if he was played more as a striker I reckon.

Although we have Miller back now.

 

[MBoreman]

My personal favourite is King comfortably being our best player, 73 is only 1 less than Leon Osman and 3 less than Lambert.

For the balance stat, its a difficult one because it's badly worded - it is supposed to be how good the player is at keeping the ball under physcial pressure (ie shoulder to shoulder), so someone like Yaya Toure has a very high stat, whilst Ryan Flynn would have a very low one. It tends to favour shorter players with a lower center of gravity. The full definition is as follows:

The ability of a player to maintain/regain balance during
and after a physical challenge due to a low centre of
gravity. This will normally be lower for taller players.

On that count I'd say the stat makes a bit more sense than you may think?

Just realised I missed Diego who I think is a 54 but if it's like last year will get a lot better. Smith is a 48.

Funnily, last year as a CF murphy got to an 84 and I had offers from Barca and Bayern.

Top of the league in FIFA 14 with this squad plus a few frees (pretty cack ones as well) and Freeman from Stevenage.

And have battered Man U in the Cup 2-5. Its on World Class, an' all!

COYRAWW!

They get better?

(I haven't played FIFA for about 4 or 5 years)

On career mode they do, more chance of getting better if you play them a lot. They also get quicker. Maguire became an 80 ish last year

2nd in the prem after two seasons on world class. Used all the money that I've earned over the two seasons to sign a kid from PSV - Zakaria Bakkali. He's v good

Also if anyone is interested: Cuvelier has a potential of 80, Baxter, Westlake, Long, Maguire and De Girolamo have potentials of 75 and 76.

You missed Jake Eyre also... 53 rated

That's quite good. I won't be getting FIFA 14 as I won't play it enough to justify spending £40 but I got FIFA 13 a couple of weeks ago for about a fiver (thought I'd go for that one as I'd get it dirt cheap with 14 having just come out). Keep meaning to have a go on it but haven't done yet!

Yeah it's good, I managed to get us to the Champions League in 4 seasons. Maguire, Murphy, Diego and Long all get good.
