FIFA 18 ratings: Liverpool fans fume as Sadio Mane rated lower than Man City playmaker
FIFA 18 publishers EA Sports released the first batch of player ratings last night.
The popular football simulation’s ratings showcase the top footballers currently in the game. FIFA 18 rates each player based on their performances from the past season.
FIFA 18 will be released towards the end of the month. In preparation for the release, EA revealed the ratings of the players considered 81-100 in the world.
Manchester City playmaker Ilkay Gundogan has been placed in 89th position.

However, Liverpool fans have taken exception to FIFA 18’s ratings after their star man Sadio Mane was placed 98th.
Liverpool fans took to social media to vent their frustrations regarding the ratings. Many believe Mane should be ahead of Gundogan, as the Germany international missed the majority of the season with a knee injury.
Here are some of the best reactions on social media to Mane’s rating by EA Sports:
Gundogan higher then Alli despite not playing last season OKAY THEN

Gundogan 85? He hasn't played all year. Mane only 84? Come on EA, I'm really hoping Pedro is a 85 cuz he deserves to be top 100

EA is a joke, Gundogan who didn't play at all last season and Mkhitaryan higher rated than Mane and Asensio
