5 players who are better in FIFA than in real life

#4 Sebastian Giovinco – 83

Giovinco is rated higher than even Sadio Mane

The Turin-born forward has been tearing up MLS since he arrived from Juventus in 2015. 46 goals in 76 appearances is a great return for any player at any level. But his rating of 83 is a tad generous for someone plying his trade in the MLS.

The standard of the league has increased over the years and playing there doesn’t make you a bad player. But there’s no denying the fact that it’s a lesser challenge than that of say the La Liga or the Premiership.

His rating puts him higher than Liverpool star Sadio Mane (82), Serie A sensation Andrea Belotti (82), and born-again forward Radamel Falcao (82). More annoying is that because he plays for a 3-star rated team you’re most likely going to come up against him if you pick a similar rated club online. Good luck defending against him with mid-60s rated defenders.
