Tottenham Hotspur’s Troy Parrott has been updated on FIFA 19.
Tottenham Hotspur fans already worship one striker from their youth setup in Harry Kane, but another could be on the horizon.
Spurs brought in young Irishman Troy Parrott from Belvedere in 2017, and he has been starring in the club’s youth setup.
Parrott, 17, has hit 14 goals and five assists in 22 games this season, and earned a first professional contract earlier this month.
With that came a place on FIFA 19, but there were early problems. For one, his name was spelled ‘Parrot’ when he was added to the game last week.
That was pretty embarrassing on EA’s part, and some fans weren’t happy with his ratings of 56 overall with 80 potential, feeling he should be rated higher.
FIFA’s latest update, released on Thursday, has shocked many as not only has it corrected Parrott’s name, but also boosted his overall by one point, and pushed his potential up to 83.
That means that Tottenham fans playing Career Mode on FIFA 19 really can turn Parrott into the next Robbie Keane, as many have predicted.
Keane’s highest ever FIFA rating was 86 on FIFA 07, but mostly sat around the high 70’s to low 80’s – and that’s exactly where Parrott could now end up on FIFA 19.
