Arsenal: 6 places where FIFA 20 player ratings got it wrong

The FIFA 20 player ratings have been revealed and lo and behold, they’ve screwed the pooch in numerous areas for Arsenal. Here are the six worst.

FIFA 20 is just around the corner, and with it, the player ratings have been revealed. This is never an easy process, mostly because the folks at EA Sports always tragically screw the pooch as far as Arsenal‘s player ratings are concerned.

True to form, they’ve done the same this time around.

We talk a lot about the media bias against the Gunners, and it can sound whiny at times, but there are headlines out there that you can go to every single day that prove that the bias is real. There is an actual agenda against this beautiful club and unfortunately, it looks like that bias extends into the FIFA player ratings as well, because there are some serious head scratchers here. Although, as a disclaimer, these are based on “leaked” ratings.

Here is the full list of players and their leaked ratings. take a gander, and then we’ll talk.

You’re probably formulating your own list of grievances already, but let me go ahead and dig into my five biggest beefs with this batch.

6. Rob Holding—76

Rob Holding had a mammoth opportunity to assert himself on the world stage last year before going down for the season with an ACL injury, but even before he got hurt, he showed such improvement and proved himself our best defender.

But according to EA Sports, that earned him a big fat wad of nothing. Holding didn’t improve at all, according to their numbers.

By comparison, Eric Bailly, who plays on the only defense in the top six worse than ours, and he couldn’t even hold down a spot in that defense. Victor-Lindelof?utm_campaign=Linker&utm_source=direct&utm_medium=linker-” onclick=”sr_record_analytics_event(‘newsfeed_click’,”, sr_record_directory(),’sr_tracker’);”>Victor Lindelof couldn’t either, and he’s an 81. Yet here is Bailly. hanging onto his 80 like he’s actually a decent defender. But not Holding. Not even the strong English bias could give Holding a boost this year.

It’s a laugh.

On to No. 5.
