WHAT OCCURED?

With a personal-best goal return of 30 attempts last season, the England international attacker has seen his overall base card go from 83 to 85, indicating that he is still moving in the right direction. He still needs to work on a few aspects of his game, though.

THE GRANDER IMAGEDuring a video shoot for the Premier League’s official YouTube account, Rashford was asked to predict his FIFA 23 defensive ability rating. He confidently predicted 68 and, after learning that it was actually 41, said: “41?! Am I so terrible? He correctly predicted the score for this year when he added, “42, I am shocked with this one, I can’t lie.”

WHO SAID WHAT

The Old Trafford academy graduate, 25, was a little more pleased with some of his other grades. Rashford, who had a pace rating of 90, claimed to be the fastest of his club teammates, saying, “I think I’m probably the fastest.” He received boosts for his shooting, pace, physicality, passing, and dribbling, but when his shooting rating was raised from 82 to 86, he commented, “I am going to have a word with them.”
