On the back of signing a new six-year deal at White Hart Lane, FIFA 17 believe Dele Alli is slower than Jack Wilshere, worse at dribbling and has a worse range of passing.

It's surprising that Wilshere, who missed most of last season through injury before deciding he needed to head out on loan to relegation favourites Bournemouth if he wanted regular playing time this year, is considered better than Alli who has enjoyed a meteoric rise over the last year for both Spurs and England.

It's not the only questionable rating in the FIFA 17 game with numerous Spurs stars seemingly underrated, whilst Arsenal have the majority of players (including Mathieu Debuchy, Kieran Gibbs and Theo Walcott) rated 80 or higher.

Moussa Dembele (82) was a driving force in the middle of the park as Spurs pushed Leicester for the Premier League title, but according to the producers at EA sports he has nothing on Santi Cazorla (86).

The Gunners new midfielder Granit Xhaka (84) is also rated surprisingly high, performances that helped Borussia Mochengladbach to a fourth place finish in Germany are apparently of more value than Dembele's role in Spurs' third place Premier League finish.


Cazorla and Xhaka's ratings are even worse when compared to Eric Dier (78).

Dier is one of the first names on both the Spurs and England's team sheets, but isn't even classed good enough to be rated 80 on the game. He is only better than Mohammed Elneny, Calum Chambers, Carl Jenkinson and Serge Gnabry in the entire Arsenal squad.

Overall Spurs have just 11 players rated 80 or over, whilst Arsenal have a whopping 16.

Toby Alderweireld (85) is the highest rated outfield player for Spurs, with Mesut Ozil (89), Alexis Sanchez (87) and Cazorla all certainties in the Spurs side according to the game.

The one area in which Spurs are level with the near neighbours is in goal, Hugo Lloris and Petr Cech are both rated 88. Although many Spurs fans will argue that the Tottenham skipper should be higher than the aging Czech keeper.

FIFA 17 ratings clearly have no impact on what happens on the pitch, but with the North London rivals closer than ever in terms of league position and expectations, it'll surely rile Spurs fans that they are once again classed as inferior to their near neighbours.

I mentioned it in the FIFA 17 thread but Coquelin rated 81 and Dier 78 is a complete piss take (amongst others) joke.

They changed the way ratings are worked out so many of our players have got upgrades in overall rating, but no real upgrades in their stats.

Because of this, some of our players are still very underrated. For example, Dembele being 82 seems decent, but then when you consider Wilshere is 82 and Ramsey is 84, it's ridiculous.

Fifa rankings are always a joke. They have favourite players and barely deviate. To get a decent score you need to play for UTD Chavski arse or City.

FIFA ratings are more of a popularity contest i've been saying it for years, if Dembele played for Real Madrid do you think he'd be anywhere near 82?

Also their game mechanics are shit so Dembele having the same dribbling accuracy as Wilshere doesn't actually surprise me because the game is so fucking linear and basic.

He'd be the highest rated CM in the game by a mile if he played for Madrid.

As long as all our players' stamina ratings are 90 at least I'm good.

Meh, same shit every year.

- Big name players have huge ratings regardless of form.
- Young, uncoming players need to have about 4 good seasons to reach their true rating unless they sign for a Utd, Chelsea, etc when they suddenly get a huge boost. (If Dier had signed for a traditional "top 4" club I guarantee his rating would be at least 82).
- Once a player is established at a big team and has a had a season with a good rating it takes decades for them to lose it. Thus, while a player like Debuchy remains at Arsenal his rating will stay around 80-82 until the end of time, even if he's a festering benchwarmer.

If we get in the CL for 3/4 years running loads of our players will start being overrated too. It's just how it goes.
