There's A 4-Star Skiller With 21 Dribbling On The FIFA World Cup Game

There's A 4-Star Skiller With 21 Dribbling On The FIFA World Cup Game

How does that one work out?!

An Iranian player on the recently released FIFA 18 World Cup mode has somehow managed to be given four star skills on the game despite having 21 dribbling.

Pejman Montazeri, a defender for Esteghlal, was on the 2014 version of the game an rated 59.

Four years on, the 34-year old is featured ahead of his second World Cup and has seen some pretty dramatic improvements to his ratings. He's climbed 15 ratings to earn an overall of 74 and moved up to the same mark for his defending, which was previously 63.

Yet the most surprising increase is that the centre-back is now able to perform four-star skill moves even though his dribbling overall is a mere 21.

It means that Montazeri can dribbling around his own box doing Neymar-esque stepovers, rainbow flicks and heel chops, which is pretty much unheard of for not only a central defender, but one who has no right to because of his lowly dribbling.

It really makes no sense at all, as does the fact that the national team squads are nowhere near accurate.

Jack Wilshere, Andros Townsend, Michail Antonio, Joe Hart, Theo Walcott , Michael Keane, James Ward-Prowse and Jermain Defoe are all in the England squad for starters despite none of the them even being on the standby list, while there's several players included in Gareth Southgate's travelling party that aren't featured.

It's not merely exclusive to England though, Colombia and Argentina's squads are a bit of a mess and Alvaro Morata is still in the Spain squad. It's annoyed a fair amount of gamers, who have taken to Twitter to air their views:
