EA Sports have revealed the Premier League's top-rated players on FIFA 17 and - surprise surprise - not everyone's happy.
Liverpool playmaker Philippe Coutinho has been given an 85 rating on the game, making him the 20th-best player in the English top-flight, and in isolation that seems entirely reasonable.

But when people took a look at the list-at-large, noting in particular that Spanish duo Santi Cazorla and Cesc Fàbregas rank higher than the Brazilian, the complaints began rolling in.

Of course, there are two sides to every coin, and some naturally think the rating is too high.
Coutinho's 85 rating puts him above the likes of Riyad Mahrez, Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Harry Kane, among others.

Turns out it's impossible to please everyone, but we reckon EA Sports have done well with their top five at the very least.
Zlatan Ibrahimović leads the way with an overall rating of 90, closely followed by David de Gea (also 90) Mesut Özil, Thibaut Courtois and Sergio Agüero round off the top five, each holding a rating of 89.
The full top 20 is as follows:
- Zlatan Ibrahimović (90)
- David de Gea (90)
- Mesut Özil (89)
- Thibaut Courtois (89)
