Manchester City v Wolverhampton Wanderers - Premier League

#2 – Fabian Delph

Manchester City v Crystal Palace - Premier League

Fabian Delph was a surprise package last season. The English midfielder played as a left-back as a cover for the injured Benjamin Mendy and impressed in the role every time he got on the pitch.

However, this season he has not been able to live up to the same expectations. Delph has been sloppy, slow and also looked like the weak link in the City defense. Listed as a left-back in the game, Delph has done very little to justify the 80 rating given to him by EA.

Once again EA might not give him a huge downgrade but he will not remain at 80 is the rating refresh happens. A push down to 79 is expected with his pace and defending stats getting affected the most.

Delph is a part of a lot of the teams that have just been created in the game but the players who have been regularly playing for at least a month will not be affected as they have better players in their squad.
