Marcos Alonso is highly under-rated by Premier League audiences

Before becoming a fixture in the Chelsea line-up, the Spanish full-back endured a journeyman career which saw him tour the Santiago Bernabeu, Bolton Wanderers, Fiorentina and Sunderland before finally washing up at Chelsea and winning the Premier League.

Make no mistake, Alonso’s Premier League title has been thoroughly deserved with him being a regular fixture at left fullback.

Starting the season, Alonso was only rated at 79, hardly the level he has shown throughout the campaign. It was clear early in the season that FIFA had erred by giving him low ratings. Chipping in with six goals through the campaign, the Spaniard has managed to make his mark even in an attacking sense while also being a solid presence at the back.

Alonso has shown this season that he is much better than what FIFA rate him to be and EA Sports will be correcting their mistake in the next edition. The fullback will comfortably cross the 80 point barrier and end up with a rating of 83-84 after performing impressively as a member of Antonio Conte’s Chelsea unit this season.
