5 players whose careers tailed off after being cover stars on FIFA and PES

#1 Fernando Torres

Torres’ career took a real dip after this

Who would have thought a decade ago that Fernando Torres would be on the list of “what might have been” players? A talent the likes of which had never been seen, Torres made the move to Liverpool almost a decade ago and scored goals for fun in the Premier League. Even injuries weren’t enough to put the Spaniard down and his scoring ability had even the best of defenders running for cover. This run of form led Torres to the cover of PES 2010 and what might have been a massive draw at the time worked just the opposite as Torres drifted away following a tremendous lack of form and a troubled psychological mindset. As Torres attempts to pick his career up, we can surely say that the cover was among the catalysts of his eventual downfall.
