More ratings for FIFA 22 are becoming known. But not everyone is happy with all the values. Now, national player Antonio Rüdiger complained on Twitter about his own card.
What’s happening in FIFA 22? The FIFA 22 release is approaching, and more player values are coming to light. Fans have started discussing the ratings. Are their favorite players rated fairly? How does the club from their own city perform? What surprises are in the ratings?
However, not everyone agrees with all the ratings, as some ratings are partially difficult to comprehend. The German national player Antonio Rüdiger seems to share this opinion regarding his own values.
EA Sports has given the Chelsea defender, who was significantly involved in the Champions League victory last season, an overall rating of 83. This corresponds to an upgrade of 2 overall points.
However, Rüdiger is particularly concerned about one value on his card: the speed. EA Sports only assigned a 75 here. While this is a jump of 5 points compared to last year, it is still not particularly high compared to other players.
Fast in real life – slow in FIFA 22?
This is what Rüdiger says: On Twitter, Rüdiger commented on the low speed value:
“Come on @EASPORTSFIFA. 35.8 km/h top speed on the field and only 75 pace in FIFA 22?! What do I have to do to get around 90 pace? 50 km/h?”

In fact, Rüdiger has repeatedly appeared on lists of the fastest Premier League players over the past years. Just at the end of August, he ranked seventh in an overview of the current season among the fastest players in the league (via The Sun).
Teammates like Kai Havertz have already mentioned Rüdiger when it comes to who is the fastest player at Chelsea (via metro.uk). And even in 2017, Rüdiger was listed as one of the fastest players in the league with over 35 km/h (via ESPN).
However, Rüdiger’s current card does not reflect the high speed.
Again and again, the ratings before the release of a FIFA game cause discussions, as there are often values with which fans or players do not agree. Especially for center-backs – as Rüdiger is one – it has often happened in the past that speed is rated very low.
In the case of FIFA 21, for example, it was the values for FC Bayern Munich that caused upset: they had just won the Champions League, but received weak ratings in comparison.
How this looks this year will become apparent in the coming days, as more values are revealed.
