Top 5 Everton players on FIFA 21: James Rodriguez underrated, Richarlison robbed
Richarlison has been woefully underrated despite being the talisman and the saviour of the team last season.
4. Richarlison- 81
This is the biggest shock in the Everton player ratings. Everton did have an underwhelming last season but Richarlison was the shining light in the dull campaign and there’s no way he could have been low rated. Richarlison was 81 in FIFA 20 and despite massively accelerating in his individual performances, his rating hasn’t changed in this year’s game.
Rightly so, his pace (86) and dribbling (84) are his top two stats but there’s no doubt that overall the Brazilian deserved a much higher rating. His shooting stats are decent and overall he’ll be a very productive player on the game.
3. James Rodriguez- 82
Again, had I been the one setting the stats, I’d give him 90 based on the performances in the Everton shirt so far. However, much of these stats depend on last season’s displays. James Rodriguez didn’t have a bright year at Real Madrid, spending a lot of time either on the treatment table or on the bench. So, the 82 rating makes a little sense.
The Colombian’s long shots have been rated at 92 followed by Volleys, crossing and ball control at 90. His vision at 83 seems to be underrated and even his passing skills.
The high shooting stats and dribbling skills will allow you to use Rodriguez to dribble past defences and even score those long range stunners.
