Mykhailo Mudryk claims all of his EA FC stats are 'wrong' after seeing his rating

Chelsea winger Mykhailo Mudryk was recently asked to react to his in-game stats on EA Sports FC 24 – and he's far from happy.

The 22-year-old Ukraine international, who signed for the Blues from Shakhtar Donetsk in January for £88.5 million, has struggled to make much of an impact since arriving at Stamford Bridge.

He was hailed by some fans as the “second coming" of Eden Hazard after making an impressive second-half cameo on his Premier League debut.

And the 22-year-old continues to show glimpses of form. In fact, he recently received a standing ovation for his performance against Brighton in the Carabao Cup

But after arriving for such a large fee, Mudryk has largely failed to set the Premier League alight.

So far, he has failed to score in a competitive game for Chelsea, and has notched just two assists in 23 games.

With all that in mind, those behind the scenes at EA Sports have decided to hand Mudryk a 75-rated gold card on this year's edition of Ultimate Team.

To be fair, Mudryk has been handed a very useful pace stat of 91, as well as 79 dribbling. But the former Arsenal Kyiv and Desna Chernihiv loanee still believes his stats are wrong.

After being asked to react to his player rating and stats on EA FC by those who run Chelsea's official YouTube channel, he said: "No I don't like."

Then, when questioned on what specifically, he replied: "Everything."

Chelsea boss Mauricio Pochettino recently revealed why he is using the crossbar challenge to boost Mudryk’s confidence.

"With Mudryk, I like to play sometimes to [hit] the crossbar from outside the box," he said ahead of their clash against Brighton.

"He said to me, 'I don't want to play anymore with you because you always win.' I said 'yes, because I have the belief, and the balance between belief and quality I know very well because I'm 50 years old. You're still young and you need to know yourself’.

"Today [Tuesday] was the first day we drew because I always won. Now you start to believe in yourself, believe in your quality. If not, it's difficult to balance belief and quality."
