FIFA 17's Rating of Radamel Falcao Shows the Dramatic Fall From Grace for Legend of the Game

Published on: 20 September 2016

"?In FIFA 13, Radamel Falcao was one of the most wanted players on the game after being handed a 'Team of the Year' rating of 94 to establish himself as one of the world's best strikers.


Fast forward four years of gaming, and the former Manchester United and Chelsea front-man has dropped more than 10 ratings with an overall score of 81. From ill-timed injuries to a lack of trust from managers and fans alike, the Colombian hit-man has dropped down the pecking order in dramatic fashion.


The 30-year-old is constantly downgrading in the game, with even FIFA 16 rating the Monaco striker as an 83. Despite his problems and general decline throughout the years, his journey throughout FIFA has been one to both admire and feel pity for. Here is that journey:

FIFA 10

At the fresh-faced age of 23, the then FC Porto striker was given an impressive 82 rating as he began to make a name for himself.

FIFA 11

One year later and the revolution begins, and having scored 17 goals in 14 games for FC Porto, his highest scoring card went up to a remarkable 88.

FIFA 12

This year would be the breakthrough as one of the best strikers to have ever graced the game. Having been given a scorecard of 86 following his move to Atletico Madrid, he would then go on to earn a 91 rating after scoring 39 goals in 54 appearances.
