Fifa 18: Chelsea striker Michy Batshuayi furious at his new rating and starts a war of words with EA Sports

CHELSEA ace Michy Batshuayi started a war of words with FIFA 18 over his new rating.

The Belgian international has been forced to pay the price for sitting on the bench at the Blues after seeing his overall rating drop since last year.

Batshuayi had an 81-rating in FIFA 17 with a pace score of 83 and 80 shooting.

In the latest release of the popular football game his overall rating has dropped to 80 and his pace has also plummeted to 79.

And the 23-year-old has demanded answers.

In a tweet holding his rating card, he captioned it: “Please Explain EA Sports.”

The gaming giants then swiftly responded: “Keep scoring goals and we’ll talk.”

Batshuayi then continued the exchange by writing back: “Hahaha fair point but I’ve been doing this for quite a long time now… even longer than the last time your servers were OK.”

The former Marseille man also had grievances over his rating in FIFA 17 when he demanded the developers changed his “weak” passing skills.

Batshuayi has had to play second fiddle to summer signing Alvaro Morata at the beginning of the campaign but has given boss Antonio Conte food for thought after his latest strike.

He started against Qarabag in the Champions League and grabbed a well taken goal before playing a key role in Chelsea’s sixth of the night.
