How can our defence be so shit with the most clean sheets last season?????
Remember that all players are rated both offensively and defensively. Richards crossing is shocking (but it's getting better), he's not the most technically gifted player either. He had very good defensive ratings in Fifa 11 (tackling, heading, marking). Look at Dani Alves - he has 87, and is very very gifted offensively. It's very obvious offense has a major impact on total rating.
Kompany at 84 is very good, Lescott deserve 82 in my book and not 80. He still got higher than Fifa 11 though. Kolarov just wasn't good last season, we all here know that.
Remember that Kolo played 70% of last season and isn't shown on these ratings. Let's say he has 82 or 83, that'll offer a pretty good defense with him in.
Richards - 79
Kompany - 84
Kolo - 82/83
Clichy - 80<br /><br />-- 19 Aug 2011, 13:26 --<br /><br />

Alex Song 83
De Jong 82
????
Same thing here, players are rated offense and defense. De Jong is very one-dimensional, we all know that. He's world class defensively but rarely participate offensively. He'll still be world class defensively if you play him as DM in Fifa 12, even though his total rating is 82.
Song, on the other hand, participate both offensively and defensively. He won't be as good as De Jong defensively, but he'll outshine him offensively. Just like IRL.
