Arsenal’s FIFA 16 Player Ratings Dissected

Mathieu Debuchy – 80, Hector Bellerin – 74

Apparently getting usurped by a 20 year old does not dent your usefulness. Mathieu Debuchy is still an 80 and will still have to be used over Hector Bellerin in actual game play because you do not just start a 74 over an 80 based on principle.

That being said, Debuchy is deserving of that 80. Pain in the Arsenal predicted a 78 due to him losing his place. He is still a class act at right back. Arsenal are fortunate to have him.

Hector Bellerin gained 13 points. That is a lot. But it is not enough. Bellerin is the starting right back at Arsenal, overtaking Debuchy in the process. That is no 74, that is at least a 75 which is what we predicted him as. Not only that, but apparently EA Sports does not subscribe to the daily Arsenal footrace updates (and neither do we). Bellerin is faster than Walcott. The ratings don’t reflect that.
