Raheem Sterling has had an interesting few months at Manchester City.
The England star is no longer the first name on the teamsheet - but it's a different story on FIFA 22.
Raheem Sterling's FIFA 22 Rating
England winger Raheem Sterling found himself out of favour with City boss Guardiola at the start of the season - but he shone on international duty over the summer.
There is no doubting Sterling's quality, but this season he is facing serious competition in the City starting line-up from all of Jack Grealish, Phil Foden, Bernardo Silva, Gabriel Jesus, and Riyad Mahrez - with the 26-year-old considering his future.
Sterling's superb form at Euro 2020 has seen him keep hold of his 88 OVR, although some of his individual attributes have changed slightly.
Sterling has seen a -2 for Pace, +1 for Shooting, -3 for Dribbling, and +1 for Physical. All in all a bit of a mixed bag, but he's very handy in Ultimate Team.
91 positoning could be the keystat for many, as when you couple that with 91 pace - the left winger gets into the box unmarked for those tap-ins.
The England international will set you back just over 30,000 coins on PlayStation and just under 30,000 on Xbox.
FUT 22 Items
Aside from his base card, Sterling has received three new items so far in FUT 22.
All three arrived within the space of a month, with his first item an 89-rated in-form card in Team of the Week 13.
This was followed by his left-footed Winter Wildcards item which boasted a 90 OVR and 94 Pace.
His most recent card was the December Player of the Month SBC, with a huge 91-rating containing 95 Pace and 89 Finishing.
Chemistry Styles
Maestro - If you are happy with Sterling's pace, then use a Maestro to boost his shooting, passing and dribbling - which is indicative of FIFA 22's meta with pace no longer vital.
Hunter - if you want to max out the Englishman's pace, then a Hunter is for you - giving a +7 shooting boost while boosting Sterling's acceleration and sprint speed to 99.
Hawk - a Hawk is a go-to Chemistry style for any attacker, providing Sterling with a +4 pace boost, +7 shooting boost while also upping his physicality by 5.
Deadeye - this is probably the best option for Raz, as it provides a +9 shooting boost along with a +7 passing boost.
Similar Players
When it comes to similar players to Raheem Sterling, there are a few that come very close...
Marcus Rashford (OVR 85)
On FIFA 21, Rashford was the cheaper option to Sterling, but it's actually the other way around now.
Rashford has good pace (90), dribbling (84) and shooting (84), along with five-star skill moves.
The Manchester United man does set you back over 70,000 coins on PlayStation and more than 40,000 on Xbox - so Sterling is a much more sensible acquisition.
Kingsley Coman (OVR 86)
For those with Bundesliga or French squads, Kingsley Coman is a sensible move - with the left midfielder offering 93 pace and 88 dribbling.
Whether his 76 shooting and 79 passing offers enough quality on the ball is up for debate - but for squad versatility 23,000 coins on both platforms is a great price.
Allan Saint-Maximin (OVR 79)
You are likely to have faced Saint-Maximin already in Ultimate Team, and if you are adept with five-star skill moves, then you can DESTROY defences.
91 pace and 87 dribbling make it clear what the gameplan is with Saint-Maximinm but he doe come up short on the ball with just 70 passing and 69 shooting.
The Frenchman costs just under 5,000 coins on PlayStation and just over 3,000 on Xbox.
