Jan Bednarek

Current Overall: 71

Pace: 63     Shooting: 22     Passing: 52          Dribbling: 49            Defending: 71        Physicality: 71

A lack of exposure and a manger who refused to play him is to blame for this atrociously low rating for our best Centre-Back. Only Saint and Polish supporters knew how good the defender was and now the rest of the world is catching up.

Bednarek will deservedly receive the largest overall boost amongst Southampton players when the new game is released. His defending will likely jump up into the 80’s while the other categories will receive sizeable upgrades as well.

Predicted Overall: 80

Pace: 68     Shooting: 35     Passing: 66          Dribbling: 58            Defending: 83       Physicality: 78
