Chelsea won the Champions League last season, and have started this campaign looking as menacing as they ended the last one. But despite that, their players haven’t been given the props that people were expecting.
By “props” we mean “FIFA 22 player ratings” of course, and people who know / care about these things seem bent out of shape by the lack of upgrades for Thomas Tuchel’s European Cup winners.
“What a joke” fumed one as he lamented not being able to play with his favourite team this year. Well, he can play with them, with a fractionally lower chance of winning.
A lot of the squad proved themselves to be top players in the last 12 months, and they certainly deserve more respect than this – the only solution is to win it again and show EA just how wrong they were.

chelsea’s highest rated player in fifa 22 is kante (90 ratings)
all the 90 be tackles and interceptions, anything else be zero

Seeing many Chelsea fans complain about the FIFA 22 ratings for their own players. Club bias has been around for years on that franchise.
My take is that Christensen, Jorginho and Azpilicueta deserve massive upgrades. Werner, Pulisic and Ziyech all drop due to inconsistencies
