Description of issue
It's been noticed between myself and other posters that centre backs, in particular ball playing ones, are getting unfair poor ratings when seemingly they haven't played poorly.
In the screenshot both centre backs have poor ratings of 6.3, this is despite them only conceding 1 goal which was not as the result of an error or own goal, they conceded only two shots on target from Arsenal all game (on of which was from a direct free kick, and 8 off target), both had 87%+ in passing accuaracy, and one with 100% in two tackle attempts. One of the centre backs only had 50% aerial duels won. This is mostly down to attacking set pieces rather than defensive. Arsenal's centre backs received a 6.6 and 6.8 rating which doesn't make sense as they were part of an Arsenal defence which conceded 17 shots, 6 of which where on target. In fact, Arsenal's low rated player only recieved a 6.4.
This is not a one of issue but rather consistent one at this point. Ball playing centre backs seemingly need either a goal or assist to acheive a rating of 7+. Even a clean sheet doesn't earn them one consistently.
