Crystal Palace striker Jordan Ayew unhappy with EA FC rating

Published on: 21 September 2023

Ghana striker, Jordan Ayew was left fuming after discovering his EA FC rating and hilariously took it out on two of his teammates.

The 32-year-old became the latest player to have fallen foul of EA FC’s stats ahead of the game's upcoming release.

Ayew was handed his rating at the Eagles’ training ground on Thursday and immediately voiced his displeasure at his overall score of 74.

Ayew hit back saying: “What? no, 74 no chance. Nah nah nah I’m not having it anymore.”

He then dragged a couple of his Palace teammates into the argument claiming he should not be at the same level as the two of them

“How can I be the same as Hughesy [Will Hughes] and Chris Richards, nah,” Ayew fumed. “I’m not having it, I’m not having it.”

His stats were broken down into six categories to form his overall rating.

He scored 74 for pace, 72 for shooting, 69 for passing and 77 for dribbling. Defending was scored at 55 with physical at 73.

Ayew has featured in each of Palace’s league and cup games this season but is yet to find the net for Roy Hodgson’s side despite registering three assists.

His only goal of the campaign came for Ghana in their recent 3-1 friendly win over Liberia.

Ayew will be hoping he can boost next year's rating regardless of which club he will be playing at.

The former Swansea and Aston Villa man is out of contract next summer and has the remainder of the season to potentially earn himself a new deal and ensure next year's EA FC ratings are a little more to his liking.

But first, Ayew must overcome the dead leg that forced him off in the 25th minute of Saturday’s 3-1 defeat at Aston Villa.

The Ghanaian was named as Palace’s Player of the Month for August following a string of fine displays.
