Dele Alli is not happy with his Fifa 18 rating, deeming it unrealistic given his recent record with Tottenham and England.

The 21-year-old has previously stated EA Sports should not be handing him a rating lower than "86 or 85" for this year's edition of the video game series, only to be given 84.

In an appearance on Rio Ferdinand's FIVE YouTube channel, the former defender says Dele does not look happy with his rating card.

"I'm not," he replied, shaking his head. "Every year... I thought it was going to be more realistic this year."

Ferdinand hands him the big cut-out and Dele replies, jokingly: "I don't want to hold it."

He continued: "Obviously, the defending is really low. When I started at MK I always played in defensive midfield so I think I'm a lot better than what I clearly am according to this.

"I'm quite slow to the pace is alright. But shooting should probably be higher, dribbling higher ... passing.

Ferdinand then allows Dele to reassess his own scores, keeping pace the same at 76 but upping the rest of his stats.

On passing in particular he adds: "It depends who you play with as Harry Kane doesn't really run in behind much so maybe that's why they aren't seeing it."

On his physical attributes, he quips: "I could probably do more in the gym, to be fair."
