FIFA19 settles the Frank Lampard vs Steven Gerrard debate
Matt Storey,Yahoo Sports,6 August 2018.
FIFA 19 have attempted to settle one of the biggest debates in English football over the past 20 years.
Who is the better player, Steven Gerrard or Frank Lampard?
The duo are currently making their first steps in management, but during their playing careers they were two of the best midfielders of the Premier League era.
While there was always the debate of whether they could play together for England, there is no doubting how important Gerrard was to Liverpool and Lampard was to Chelsea for a long time.
But there was never a clear winner when it came to deciding who was the better player; Liverpool fans said Gerrard, Chelsea’s backed Lampard and the rest of the country were split 50/50.
However, in the latest version of FIFA, the legendary midfielders have been given legend cards on Ultimate Team.

That means they are given ratings based on their ability at their peaks and Gerrard comes out on top in five of the six categories.
His pace, dribbling, defending, passing and physicality are all rated higher than Lampard, whilst their shooting is exactly the same.
There are only small differences in each category, but the powers that be at EA Sports have spoken – and they consider Gerrard the superior player.
