think:
10.IvanRakiti84(FIFA1481)
Barcelona act with far more financial frugality than their La Liga rivals Real Madrid. Rather than
making gigantic 100million offers for players, they tend to act more strategically. This was
exemplified by the sale of Cesc Fabregas to Chelsea for 30 million and the signing of the 14
millionIvanRakititoreplacehim.RakitismovefromSevillatooneoftheleaguesgiantshas
seemingly seen him rewarded with an improved FIFA 15 rating. Croatias lynchpin had an

8.JamesRodrguez86(FIFA1483)
JamesRodrguezwasbynomeansanunknownpriortotheWorldCupbutthreeweeksandfive
spectacular goals was enough for the 23yearold to become the latest status symbol in world
football. Unsurprisingly Real Madrid snatched up the promising talent, spending an astounding
63million to make Rodrguez one of the most expensive Los Blancos players ever. Though the
leaked ratings suggest that Rodrguez has received a deserved upgrade, were pleased that his
ratinghasntgoneanyhigher(addingfurthercredibilitytotheleakedinfo).OfcourseRodrguez

LuisSurez.BenzemamightnotbeSurezcalibrebutheiscertainlynotfaroff,morethanjustifying
his alleged boost to an 87 rating. Over the years Benzema has established a reputation as an
immensely talented striker, capable of using his strength and speed to create space for a goal
scoring opportunity. He is both a great finisher and capable of blasting it in from range,
documented by his 24 goals in all competitions last season. Some of his best performances in
recentmemorywereinBrazilforFrance.VerylittlewasexpectedoftheFrenchteamintheWorld

5.GarethBale89(FIFA1487)
The recordbreaking 100million signing had a lot to live up to for Real Madrid. Naysayers had
predictedthathewouldgothesamewayasotherbigmoneyLosBlancossigningslikeKakaand
WesleySneijder,eventuallyfallingoutoffavourandbeingbenched.However,inhisdebutseason
at the Bernabu the 24yearold certainly didnt disappoint, justifying not only his astronomical
price tag but also a deserved ratings boost on FIFA 15. The Welshmans pace has been boosted
from an already high 93 up to 95 while his shooting has been upgraded from 84 to 88. Both of
these statistical upgrades are justified as any football fan knows that Bale is a ridiculously rapid
goalscoringmachine.InspiteofanongoingthighinjuryintheopeningstagesoftheseasonBale

Bale, Benzema and Ronaldo, Real Madrid will surely be the favourites to retain their Champions
Leaguetitle.
4.AndrsIniesta90(FIFA1489)
The improved rating of Andrs Iniesta is the only ratings boost featured on this supposed leak
whichseems alittlepeculiar.IniestahadthetypeofseasonhealwayshaswithBarcelonanot

TheSpaniardisstillundeniablyoneofthegreatestplayersontheplanet,withexcellentagilityand

to see why EA Sports would think to return him to his FIFA 13 rating. Of course the 30yearold
cannot be blamed with the decline of both his teams but he is still in part accountable. Iniesta
continues to be the type of player who can make everyone playing alongside him look
exponentiallybetterbuthedoesntseemtobedoingthisanybetterthan2yearsagowherehis

League, being the driving force behind Real Madrid once more becoming champions of Europe.
ThoughhiscontributionstoPortugalsWorldCupeffortswerehamperedbyanongoingkneeinjury,
he was still able to score the winning goal against Ghana. Theres no doubt that Ronaldos
unparalled athleticism and natural goal scoring ability will continue to devastate opponents in
2014/15.
