You’ve got to think that Antonio Valencia might get a more generous weak foot rating in FIFA 19.

To put that into context, even Arjen Robben has a two-star weak foot rating, and his right-foot is so redundant you’ll see it down the Job Centre every Monday waiting to pick up its Giro.
What’s more of a kick in the teeth for Valencia is the fact that the oldest player on FIFA 18, Wycombe Wanderers goalkeeper Barry Richardson, boasts a better weak-foot rating than poor Antonio.
Richardson is 48 years old, and is still on the League Two clubs’ playing books, despite spending most of his time as the club’s goalkeeping coach.

In his club career, Valencia has scored not one, but two goals with his left peg – the first for Wigan against Derby in 2008, the other one for United against Otelul Galati in the group stages of the 2011/12 Champions League season.
Of course, he recently scored a worldie against Everton, hammering the ball home on the half-volley past Jordan Pickford with just three minutes gone.
And when you’ve got a right foot that can do something as devastating as that, who cares about the left?
