Manchester City forward Julian Alvarez has questioned why Enzo Fernandez has been given such a low rating on the upcoming EAFC video game.
He took to the Chelsea man’s Instagram post to state that he should have been given a much higher rank than the 83 he received.
Fernandez has enjoyed a pretty superb week as things go, with his country picking up two wins out of two on their road to qualifying for the World Cup.

The tournament will see them enter as defending champions, and his display in the recent match against Bolivia has proved he will be a crucial part of the side whether Lionel Messi is there or not.
With the upcoming return of club football, the release of the annual video game from EA Sports – previously known as ‘FIFA’ – is also just around the corner.

As part of the promotional campaign, a bunch of top players’ ratings have been revealed, with the higher being the better on a scale of 1-99.
There will certainly have been some raised eyebrows then when one of the best midfielders in football was only handed a rating of 83.
Alvarez seems to also be a bit miffed by the situation, commenting on Fernandez’s post asking what people thought of his rating.

He said: “They came up short.”
While that rating will go up and down in some modes of the game based on his performance in real life, it raises a question when new Newcastle United signing, Sandro Tonali, is three ratings higher at 86.
All Fernandez can do is prove what we all now he can do on a regular basis and hope those at EA Sports begin to take notice.
