Norwich FIFA Ratings

[Jimmy smith]

Our team has been rated by the guys at EA. I'm pretty happy with these:

 In addition, Miquel is 66 rated with mid 60's pace, Hooiveld is 70 rated but 33 pace (slow!) and Vadis Odjidja Ofoe is 73 rated

For those unfamiliar, 75 is the standard rating for a mid premiership player, 80 for a top 7 player, 85 for a world class player. 65 is your average championship player and 70 is a good championship player.

If 70 is the benchmark for a good Championship player Grabban's score is a bit unfair after last season (and the start of this).

They have a habit of judging a bit too much on last seasons rating. Grabban is clearly a victim of that. Mitroglou for instance is 78 rated!

Thank you for the indicating the FIFA rankings. I find some of the results a little strange, for instance that Bradley has the same passing skill, or better than Howson! Our second best striker would seem to be Loza, who at the moment seems unlikely to get a game.

It makes interesting reading. How do they arrive at their results?

 

[Yellow Fever]

Interesting, but I prefer the WhoScored ratings.

 

[Jimmy smith]

I probably do too Yellow Fever as they are more dynamic and in tune to reality. We are by far the best championship side in this years FIFA which is good.

Salopian, Loza is actually our 5th best striker (not including Becchio) according to that. Hooper is first with 74, then Jerome with 72, then Lafferty 71, Grabban 68.

You're right though, Johnsons passing is higher than Howsons! This is a number aggregated from several substats like long passing, free kicks, short passing etc. Perhaps Bradley's free kicks push his rating up?

On the topic of vidja Norwich player ratings I sure hope Vadis has better 'natural fitness' than his 5/20 stat on Football Manager would suggest.

Grabban 68? That's annoying, good to see Tettey as a gold this time though.

 

[J4G]

Pace is overwhelmingly the most important stat though, its never been that well balanced. I remember Grant Holt in his prime back on FIFA 13, good overall stats sure... but the slowness made him practically unusable in game, Morrison was like Ronaldo (original) in comparison!

 

[Din]

If I was picking them I'd go for:

Ruddy 77

Whittaker 72

Cuellar 71

Johnson 72

Martin 73

Turner 73

Grabban 72

Howson 74

Lafferty 71

Jerome 73

Hooper 74

Hooiveld 70

Bunn 68

Hoolahan 74

Miquel 69

Loza 60

E.Bennett 72

Garrido 69

Becchio 68

RvW 73

Josh Murphy 64

Redmond 73

Olsson 74

R.Bennett 72

Jacob Murphy 59

Rudd 69

Tettey 74

O'Neil 71

Bassong 73

VOO 73

Power is equally as important now.

Can't disagree with any of that, Ruddy might be higher, and they've always set RvW quite high too!
