Dan Burn claims Newcastle United star is toughest to train against after slamming 'shocking' FIFA 22 rating

Newcastle United defender Dan Burn admits Allan Saint-Maximin could score '15 to 20' goals a season after slamming his own FIFA 22 rating.

Burn signed for the Magpies in the January transfer window from Brighton and has been a revelation in defence since his arrival. In a video on SkySports Football YouTube channel, the 29-year-old defender discussed his FIFA 22 rating, which player is the toughest to play against in training and Newcastle's signings in January.

Ryan Fraser joined Burn and had plenty of praise for manager Eddie Howe along with Kieran Trippier, who was the first player to join the club following the takeover of the club earlier this season. Fraser also admitted that striker Chris Wood makes his job as a winger a lot easier, as well as the New Zealand international being a 'good guy' off the pitch.

Fraser and Burn discussed their FIFA 22 ratings with the Scottish winger admitting he wasn't surprised by his downgrade from FIFA 21 saying: "It’s because I was awful last season that’s why! No beating around the bush I didn’t play last season and when I did, I was either injured or terrible. I’ll take it though."

Looking at the pair's pace ratings on FIFA, Burn slammed EA Sports for giving him 48 pace on his FIFA 22 player card. The 29-year-old voiced his unhappiness with his attributes saying: "I'm raging man! Every season, every season!

"Not many people run away from me, I just look slow. The only time I am slow is when I play against Adama Traore and then I really feel slow, but he’s gone to Barcelona so it’s fine now.

"I was more buzzing when he [Traore] went to Barcelona than I was when I signed here [for Newcastle]!" Burn joked. Fraser's pace rating was significantly higher than Burn with the Scotsman
