That’s right, I think that FIFA 16 is going to underrate our Chilean mastermind yet again. The argument can easily be made that Alexis deserves a rating around 87 or 88. Look at the players that rocked that rating last season: Gareth Bale, David Silva, Luka Modric. Alexis fits in with those names.

What the Chilean did last year was establish himself as the world-class striker he looked ready to become back with Udinese. After an underrated stint at Barcelona, he found his way to Arsenal where his creativity is taking off. He scored 24 goals across all competitions last year. That’s more than Eden Hazard, who is ranked 88. That is far more than David Silva‘s 12 and it is Silva’s primary objective to score goals.

It was also more than Wayne Rooney’s 14. It was more than a lot of people’s goal tallies. Even beyond that, no one can match Alexis in overall contribution. He is a tireless competitor that will always go to the ends of the earth just to win a ball back.

I can see FIFA upping Alexis to an 86 but beyond that is unlikely. They are a stingy bunch.
