Not going to add much to this discussion other than that "beast" is a very common word to describe players in FIFA. It has a formula there though, which is
(Pace+Strength+Shot Power)/3 = X
99-(player rating)/3 = Y
X + Y= beast rating
So basically the beast rating is the average between the combined sum of strength, pace and shot power, and between a player's overall rating. I think, although obviously not exactly the same, players with those attributes are often the ones called beast in football outside FIFA as well. When looking at the list of the highest beast ratings in fifa the top 20 can all be classified as BAME (an expression I didn't know of before today). 21st comes Gareth Bale. If FIFA's attributes are correct, which I to a certain degree think they are, maybe the problem isn't that people choose to only call BAME players beasts, but rather that the definition of the word shouldn't be linked to attributes that, according to FIFA, BAME players possess in a higher degree than white players.Then again, BAME is such a wide term that the number of BAME players is much higher than the number of white players, which could make all this irrelevant rambling. Oh well.
