One Of England's Brightest Prospects Is The Second Worst Player On FIFA 18

One Of England's Brightest Prospects Is The Second Worst Player On FIFA 18

EA Sports need to sort this out...

BBC Young Sports Personality of the Year winner Phil Foden took all the plaudits when he inspired England's U17s to a famous World Cup win in India last year, but many forget that another Manchester City youngster captained Steve Cooper's side to victory.

18-year-old starlet Joel Latibeaudiere lead the young Lions to triumph with a towering performance fitting of his build, showing a huge amount of potential in the 5-2 win against Spain in the final.


Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola, who is arguably one of the best judges of character in the game, praised Latibeaudiere, Anderson and Foden's performances in the tournament, but it seems EA Sports don't rate him as highly.

Latibeaudiere is rated the joint second-worst player on the latest edition of FIFA.

With 55 pace, 30 passing and 50 physical, the 18-year-old is one of the worst players on Ultimate Team, which is a disgrace considering his huge potential.

Surrounded by League One and League Two players in the above list, Latibeaudiere undeservedly features in the list after starring for England in their World Cup campaign last year.

Do you think Joel deserves an upgrade in the coming weeks?

Shortly after their success in India, Guardiola praised the Manchester City youngsters in a press conference:

"We have no doubt about Phil Foden's quality and the other guys but we must be calm. The problem we have here in England, I have said many times, is in the second teams the competition is not that high. The gap from there to the top level is big.

"That is something that we will work out. It is good for them to go to the Under-17 World Cup and the more English guys we can bring to the first team, the better for us."

Joel Latibeaudiere - remember the name.
