FIFA 15 is here (well at midnight!) We can now reach out, grab the disk and shove it eagerly into our console of choice and get on with the action. Much of out team selection is based on who we support, but no matter the side you follow, Liverpool may be a decent option for FIFA thrills.
The Reds impressed last season as they almost secured the Premier League title, and EA Sports have made note of their fine displays. Brendan Rodgers’ men are full of attacking flair and will create chances, making them a potentially joyous team to use.
Here are four reasons we think they should be a go to team on FIFA 15…

Young talent for career mode
Liverpool’s business over the summer saw them draft in a host of promising young players to compliment the likes of Raheem Sterling and Jon Flanagan. Lazar Markovic, Javier Manquillo and Alberto Moreno are all below 22, while Mamadou Sakho – a class act on FIFA games of old – is just 24.
Career mode on FIFA is mostly about hoovering up young talent early on to build a great team, but with Liverpool most of the hard work has been done for you.
Pace
Pace and youth tend to go hand in hand, so there’s little wonder that the Reds are a quick side on FIFA 15. Sterling is, perhaps, the pick of the bunch with his low centre of gravity and awesome dribbling, while Sturridge’s speed make him a threat for every forward-aimed through ball. Dejan Lovren, Sakho, Moreno and Manquillo are also quick at the back.
Defensive woes shouldn’t be a problem
Liverpool’s defence has been shocking this season, but with your own unique brand of FIFA 15 playing style that shouldn’t be a problem. In fact with Mignolet rated at 82, Lovren 79, Martin Skrtel 81 and Glen Johnson 77, there’s no reason why the Merseysiders should ship goals on your screen.
Daniel Sturridge
With his excellent form last season, Sturridge’s ratings have been given a minor boost to make him a tasty 83. The pacey English forward can finish well and is decent in the air thanks to his height, making him a massive threat for Liverpool. Used in tandem with Mario Balotelli, Liverpool could be the go-to team for sticking a few goals past your mates.
