FIFA 16 is just weeks away. Any die hard Villa fan would take on the challenge of masterminding Villa to European success and developing a new squad surely? A legendary setting would have to be set as well though.

You can find part one on goalkeepers and defenders here. Attackers and midfielders are the bread and butter of any attacking side. Tim Sherwood has brought in some new attacking threats over the summer so here are Aston Villa’s midfield and attacker ratings for FIFA 16. The ratings are taken from www.futhead.com.

Midfielders

Jack Grealish – 72 – Grealish took everyone by storm at the back end of last season and his rating reflects a real jump. Last season, he was rated at only a 65. He also has four-star skills.

Joe Cole – 72 – Cole is aging and his card tells that. His rating drops by two.

Scott Sinclair – 74 – The rating of 74 could be seen as a fair marking given the lack of appearances in recent seasons. Sinclair’s rating has gone up by two. The 88 pace and 80 dribbling cannot be ignored.

Charles N’Zogbia – 74 – The French outcast has lost one mark over the past season. Very generous.

Carles Gil – 74 – The Spanish wizard has seen his pace drop by two but his overall rating remain the same. Interestingly chosen as a right-midfielder.

Ashley Westwood – 75 – Westwood is an underrated star for Villa in real life and maybe it could be the same in FIFA 16? A fair reflection of development may be. He was only a 72 last season.

Idrissa Gueye – 75 – Despite a storming season in the French top division last year – Gueye has lost one on his rating. A perplexing decision.

Jordan Veretout – 76 – In need of a creative spark in your team? Veretout seems like the man for that on FIFA 16. His upgrade from 72 to 76 suggests this guy has a lot to offer.

Carlos Sanchez – 77 – Sanchez had a mixed campaign last season for Villa but has set standards high after the opening few encounters and from top class displays in the Copa America. His rating has increased by one.

Attackers

Adama Traore – 71 – Adama is young and has already moved up six ratings since FIFA 15. His incredible pace of 90 will destroy Mertesacker on the counter attack.

Gabriel Agbonlahor – 73 – Placed as a centre-forward Agbonlahor also has incredible pace as per. His card is identical to last season.

Rudy Gestede – 73 – Gestede’s aerial ability could be pivotal to any decent season. Taking the ball out wide and whipping a cross in for the former-Blackburn man will bring you plenty of goals. An upgrade of five.

Libor Kozak – 74 – The Czech has had his rating increased by one on last season. Will you lead with Kozak or Gestede?

Jordan Ayew – 76 – Ayew has hardly set the Premier League alive yet, but his rating is one to consider. A good all rounder with decent pace and dribble he could be the partner up top for you. He has moved up from a 73.
