Gareth Bale is part of the potent BBC triumvirate at Real Madrid

Gareth Bale was the owner of the “World’s most expensive player” tag until Manchester United smashed the record with their reacquisition of Paul Pogba from Juventus. Starting out as an attacking full back at Southampton, the Welshman earned himself a transfer to Spurs where he transformed into a devastating winger before Real Madrid made a move for him.

These days Gareth Bale is a constant in the conversation for the being one of best players in the game, not only on FIFA, but also in reality. The right winger currently enjoys a rating of 90, making him part of the FIFA 17 footballing elite.

Back in the days at Southampton however, Gareth Bale was just another promising youngster with a rating of 66 in FIFA 07. In spite of his humble origins, his talent was recognised by EA and was given a potential to develop to a rating of 86.
