Southampton: Who deserves a rating boost in FIFA?

With an extended break between Southampton matches we turn to the virtual Saints and look to see who deserves to have their overall rating boosted.

FIFA is one of the world’s most popular video games year after year and its most popular game mode is FIFA Ultimate Team or FUT for short. If you have never played FUT, The objective is to build a custom team from players around the globe and then play with them in a variety of game modes. It’s the one place you could have Messi, Ronaldo, Mbappe, and Nathan Redmond all playing together.

Each player is represented by a card that has an overall rating from 1-99 along with their position and 6 stat categories that make up their overall. These stat categories are Pace, Shooting, Passing, Dribbling, Defending, and Physicality. The categories are pretty self-explanatory and they are also represented by a number on a scale of 1-99.

An example of a card is Cristiano Ronaldo. He has an overall rating of 94, his pace is 90, shooting 93, passing 81, dribbling 90, defending 35, and physicality is 79.

These cards are released at the start of the season and usually do not get updated until the next game or if a player has a standout performance they are rewarded with a boosted card. Southampton’s highest rated player is, Danny Ings who received an 81 overall card after his two goal performance against Arsenal. So let us take a look at some Saint players who could see their overalls go up next year.
