5 Chelsea FC Players Feature In FIFA 16’s Top 50
30: Diego Costa (ST) 86 rated
After a couple of years of lacking up front, Chelsea finally have a world class striker once again. Despite being hampered by numerous hamstring injuries last season, Costa still managed to score 20 goals in the Premier League, just missing out on the golden boot behind Sergio Aguero.
On this year’s FIFA instalment, he keeps his 86 rating from last year’s game, and is the joint 5th highest rated striker. Furthermore, in what is perhaps a reflection of the English top flight’s flailing quality, he is one of only two Premier League strikers that make the list. Manchester City’s Aguero (87 rated) beats him out for bragging rights.
Boasting high ratings in both pace and physical attributes, Costa will certainly be a handful up front in this year’s game.
