Rafael van der Vaart has seen a lot of ups and downs in his career. At Ajax, where he started out, the Dutchman impressed one and all with his talent and even drew comparisons with the legendary Johann Cruyff. Later on, he would go on to find success at Hamburg, Real Madrid and Tottenham.

Arguably, his best performances came at Tottenham, where he scored 13 league goals in his debut season in 2010-11. This, in turn, saw him earn an overall rating of 87 in FIFA 12.
