The Best League Of Ireland XI According To FIFA 17

Share this article

With the early release of FIFA 17 on EA Access for Xbox One, we have been granted access to the database and all of the juicy player rating that "don't mean anything" but at the same time mean how EA Sports rates Irish players.

We've already had a look around the Irish players playing abroad, so now let's focus on the league at home.

Last year Richie Towell was the best rated League of Ireland player at 67, he rating stayed the same as he moved to Brighton & Hove Albion (and is still the same in FIFA 17), but who is the best player in the league, and what is his rating?

Daryl Horgan, and 66 overall is the answer to that question.

Yes, just about in the "silver" category in Ultimate Team cards, there aren't too many decent looking players to use in the game if you want to build a League of Ireland side, but here is the best XI according to in-game stats.

GK - MICHEÁL SCHLINGERMANN - SLIGO ROVERS
