Cool Beans: Safuwan Baharudin first Singaporean player to feature in Fifa 15

Singapore defender Safuwan Baharudin now has a feature on Fifa 15, after he was placed on loan with A-League side Melbourne City FC. 

The 23-year-old is the first Singaporean player to be included in the popular online football game.

Safuwan has a rating of 56, according to The Straits Times (ST), making him the best fourth-best centre-back in the squad. He can also play the right-back and defensive mid-fielder positions. 

After his debut for Melbourne City FC on Saturday, coach John van’t Schip reportedly had this to say about him: “Looking at him today… he was not afraid to challenge, he was not afraid to coach (provide directions to teammates), he wanted to have the ball; he was strong in the air defensively but also when we go forward.

“He’s a player we rate highly from what we have seen and we think he can still make big steps.”
