With an 83-rated goalkeeper in goal, two center backs rated 85 and 87, and two strikers rated 85 and 88, there are few teams on FIFA 12 that can rival the firepower available to AC Milan. The quality he has shown this season indicates that he'll be worthy of a rating of 81 or 82 next time around, but the quality he'd already shown at Palermo was worthy of a rating much higher than 76.ĪC Milan are much, much stronger than I expected them to be. The Italian international was an ever-present starter for Palermo last season, and contributed an impressive four goals and four assists as a defensive midfielder. Along with Mathieu Flamini, I would've given both players a rating of 77, since they actually aren't too bad, but have their opportunities in the team significantly limited by the large number of "oldies" in midfield.įinally, Antonio Nocerino, one of AC Milan's new acquisitions for the 2011-12 season, should've been given a rating of 79, or at least 78. An argument can be made that he deserves a rating of 83 in FIFA 12, but anything less than 82 is just wrong.Įmanuelson is strangely given the wrong position in the game, as he is definitely a left midfielder who can play at left back. Moving on, Alberto Aquilani was mentioned by many as Juventus' best player in 2010-11, and was able to re-establish himself as a regular in the Italy setup last season.

If Ambrosini deserves an 80, so does Gattuso. There were multiple games towards the end of the season where he was definitely my man of the match, and outperformed many of his central midfield teammatesĪs a result, his rating of 78 is a bit unfair, especially since someone like Ambrosini managed to keep a rating of 80 despite playing a smaller and less influential role in AC Milan's title success. I'd maybe raise his rating to 72-73 to reflect his actual quality, but I don't think it matters too much if his rating is slightly off to be honest.Īs the saying goes, all good things must come to an end, and unfortunately after nearly impeccable ratings for the goalkeepers and defenders at AC Milan, there are a couple of issues with the ratings given to the midfielders at AC Milan.įirst off, despite people's negative opinion of him, Gennaro Gattuso had a very solid 2010-11 season. I fully expect him to succeed Abbiati whenever Abbiati decides to retire.įinally, Flavio Roma comes in as the third-choice keeper at AC Milan, and considering he only played in two Coppa Italia matches last season (and five minutes in a league match), I can't really I have too many complaints about his rating. He is a capable backup, and has performed well when called upon. In any case, despite the vast number of talented Italian goalkeepers in world football (the best ones can be found here), I would rate Abbiati as the second best Italian keeper in the world right now, behind Gianluigi Buffon.īehind Abbiati is Marco Amelia, who is also very fairly rated at 78. It is remarkable, and a bit of shame, that he has not yet been recalled to the Italian national team, although this may have something to do with that. Whoever was in charge of assigning ratings for Serie A appears to have done a commendable job.Ĭristian Abbiati was excellent for AC Milan last year in goal, and his 83 is well deserved. When I reviewed Juventus, I was pleasantly surprised to see that the team had been rated very accurately, and it seems like the trend is continuing here with AC Milan. Note: Players rated below 70 have been excluded. How did AC Milan's title success (and European failure) affect its players' individual ratings? Let's find out. will surely have been pleased with the team's title at the end of the season.

So it was not a season of complete success, but Silvio Berlusconi and co. The team limped out of the group stage after taking only a solitary point from both Real Madrid and Ajax, and lost to Tottenham in the knockout rounds despite being the favorites to progress. However, despite AC Milan's domestic success, the team's European form was very poor. Though no domestic team truly dominated Serie A, AC Milan's form was more than impressive enough to lock up the Serie A title a couple of weeks prior to the competitions' conclusion, and helped the team withstand a late push from Internazionale to repeat as title holders for the sixth consecutive season. Last season, AC Milan finally returned to the summit of Italian football, after years of subservience to the likes of Inter Milan and Juventus earlier in the previous decade.
