"I'd like to report a crime please!" Liverpool fans can't believe Henrikh Mkhitaryan is rated higher than Sadio Mane on FIFA 18
The Armenian midfielder comes in at 85 in the new game's ratings, and the fact that he's seen as better than Liverpool's Senegalese flyer has raised eyebrows

The new FIFA 18 ratings are slowly beginning to drip through, andLiverpoolfans aren't happy about one aspect of them in particular.
With the new game due out on September 29, EA Sports are revealing the ratings for the top 100 players day-by-day, and the fact that Manchester United'sHenrikh Mkhitaryanis ranked ahead of Liverpool's Sadio Mane hasn't exactly gone down well with Reds supporters according to our friends at theManchester Evening News.
Mkhitaryan, who is rated at 85, has registered five assists in his first three Premier League games of this season, while Mane, at 84, has scored in all three of his league appearances.
The ratings are based on the players' last footballing year and Mkhitaryan is also ranked higher than Manchester City's Bernardo Silva, Tottenham playmaker Dele Alli and Real Madrid's Marco Asensio.
Former Manchester striker Radamel Falcao has returned to the top 100 after a prolific campaign with Ligue 1 champions Monaco and one-time United target Raphael Varane is rated the same as Mkhitaryan.
A number of other United players are expected to feature in the top 80. Zlatan Ibrahimovic and David de Gea were rated 90 last year while Paul Pogba received 88.
Romelu Lukaku could receive a higher rating following an impressive campaign with Everton, which preceded his £75million switch to United.
Mane, who joined Liverpool last year, helped the Reds a top four finish last season, while Mkhitaryan helped United win the Europa League and League Cup during his debut campaign in England.
But Liverpool fans, and others, are in no doubt about who should have been rated higher.
