Tottenham’s complete FIFA 17 ratings: What Spurs ratings are and what they should be
Moussa Sissoko
Actual Rating: 80
The newly acquired midfielder hasn’t really had the opportunity to show Spurs fans his full locker of skills yet. Count on that changing sooner rather than later.

He’s another member of the squad who could benefit from the void created by Harry Kane’s injury. It’s not that Sissoko is going to play the striker position, but more will be required from the club’s attacking midfield.
The Frenchman was brought to White Hart Lane to provide strength with the ball. Pochettino wanted someone who could carry the ball into the final third with speed and power. If Sissoko does that consistently, it’s bound to lead to goals for the club.
As for his player rating, 80 seems about right to me. When he’s playing his best football, he’s capable of more, but his inconsistency weighs down the perception of his game.
