Liverpool’s leaked Fifa 19 rankings have not gone down well

Fifa 19 won't be released until next month but the leaked ratings of several players are already causing a stir.

The 26th instalment in the Fifa series has seen several changes to players' ratings and being one of the bigger spenders in the summer transfer window, Liverpool's squad has had some interesting updates. Understandably, each of the Reds' freescoring front three has enjoyed a deserved boost as Mohamed Salah, who scored 44 goals in all competitions last season, moves from 83 to 88 while Roberto Firmino shifts up to 86 from 83 and Sadio Mane edges up to 85 from 84. The new arrivals at Anfield make for even more interesting reading, however. https://twitter.com/lfc_family/status/1032615409692954627 Naby Keita, who has proven to be a revelation since his move from RB Leipzig this summer, is given a rating of 83 compared to the 85 earned by Fabinho, who has yet to make his competitive debut for the Reds. Virgil van Dijk is considered Liverpool's top defender at 85 while new winger Xherdan Shaqiri has dropped from 82 to an 81, presumably due to Stoke City's relegation last term. Alisson has been handed a solid 85 as he gets his debut season in the Premier League underway. Supporters have been voicing their complaints about certain ratings, with Keita's 83 the big concern among fans.

Robbo, Keita and Mane are being a bit undersold there

Not happy with Shaqiri or sturridge Shaqiri should be 83 and sturridge should be 82

Fabinho better than Keita?

Keita only 83? WTF? Can gurantee if hes in any other big club he'll be higher. Courtois is 90 with real madrid, what a joke
