Wilfried Zaha has been left fuming at EA Sports after his FIFA 23 stats emerged ahead of the game's release on 30 September.
The popular game is back for this year's edition but the player ratings have already been unveiled following the launch of the FIFA 23 Ultimate Team Web App. The likes of Kylian Mbappe, Lionel Messi and Robert Lewandowski hold the title as best-rated all on 91.
But after taking a sneak peek at his own stats, Zaha has been left incandescent with rage after noticing that he is rated just 82 – the same number he had in last year's FIFA game. He took to social media to broadcast his fury, posting on his Instagram story.

"Me seeing my FIFA stats got worse, must have been playing golf all season then," he said on his account @wilfriedzaha.
While Zaha might still have the same 82 rating as last year, he has actually seen some upgrades to his stats. Compared to FIFA 22's version of Zaha, his FUT item has more pace, better scoring, physical and defending while his passing has stayed the same.
Nevertheless, it has no affect on his overall rating – though there have been some minor downgrades to other attributes. The Crystal Palace star had a fine campaign in Patrick Vieira's first campaign as manager at Selhurst Park.
The 29-year-old scored 14 times in the Premier League, grabbing one assist in the process after spearheading a fresh Palace side full of young talents such as Ebere Eze and Michael Olise.
Zaha's 82 rating puts him on a par with the likes of Christian Pulisic, Darwin Nunez, Bukayo Saka, Dani Olmo, Lucas Paqueta, Antony, Aurelien Tchouameni, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Raul Jimenez and Christian Eriksen.
