With just 10 days until the UK release of FIFA 17, Arsenal’s player ratings have been revealed but there seems to have been a mix up with Mathieu Debuchy and Hector Bellerin, report Metro.
Debuchy has been awarded an overall rating of 80 in the latest release while the ever-impressive Bellerin has only achieved a mark of 79 to Arsenal supporters’ bemusement.
Debuchy, a £12 million arrival from Newcastle United in July 2014 was originally signed to replace Bacary Sagna but the Frenchman has since lost his way at Emirates Stadium with numerous injuries interrupting his progress in North London.
Deputising for Debuchy, Hector Bellerin hasn’t looked back since making a Champions League debut for Arsenal at Borussia Dortmund in September 2014, to the point in which Debuchy was sent on loan to Bordeaux last January for regular game time.
While Bellerin is still only 21-years-old, he is most definitely one of the most critically acclaimed right back’s in the Premier League and was actually named in the 2015/16 PFA Team of the Year.
So you can understand why his lower rating than Debuchy – who still awaits his first Arsenal appearance this year – has been met with confusion.
Elsewhere, Arsenal’s five highest rated players in FIFA 17 are Mesut Ozil (89), Petr Cech (88), Alexis Sanchez (87), Santi Cazorla (86) and Laurent Koscielny (85).
