The arrival of EA FC 26 marks the next chapter in one of the most iconic sports gaming franchises of all time. Since its debut in 1993, the series has been a staple in football culture, and every new edition sparks intense debates among fans — especially when it comes to player ratings.
EA FC 26 Player Ratings Predictions
While fans eagerly anticipated the scores of stars like Lionel Messi and Lamine Yamal, the projected rankings feature a few unexpected twists.
Mbappé and Rodri Lead the Pack at 91
According to these early predictions, the highest rating in EA FC 26 — 91 overall will be shared by Kylian Mbappé and Rodri.
Mbappé, now firmly established as Real Madrid's superstar forward, continues to dominate headlines both in real-life football and the virtual pitch.
Rodri, Manchester City's midfield anchor and reigning Ballon d'Or winner, earns well-deserved recognition for his consistency and big-game performances.
They're joined at the summit by Mohamed Salah and Virgil van Dijk, both also projected to receive 91 overall ratings, cementing Liverpool's continued presence among football's elite.
The 90 Club
Just one point behind the leaders, the 90 overall tier includes some of the game's most prolific and reliable talents:
Erling Haaland — Manchester City's goal machine.
Alisson — Liverpool's world-class shot-stopper.
Harry Kane — Bayern Munich's clinical finisher.
Vinícius Jr. — Real Madrid's electrifying winger.
Elite Players at 89 Overall
The next tier of projected ratings features an impressive lineup of skill and star power:
Ousmane Dembélé
Gianluigi Donnarumma
Lautaro Martínez
Jude Bellingham — who, despite his rapid rise, just misses the 90 club in these predictions.
Messi and Yamal Out of the Top Three
Perhaps the most surprising detail in the projections is the absence of Lamine Yamal and Lionel Messi from the highest-rated groups.
Lamine Yamal, the 17-year-old Barcelona and Spain sensation, is predicted to receive an 88 overall rating. While this score is impressive for such a young player, many expect it to climb in future editions as his career progresses.
Lionel Messi, the Argentine legend and one of the greatest players in football history, is projected at 87 overall. This would place him alongside Declan Rice, Bruno Fernandes, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, Thibaut Courtois, and Federico Valverde.
Official Ratings Coming Soon
It's important to note that these numbers are predictions, not confirmed official ratings. The actual player stats will be revealed when EA FC 26 launches on September 26. Until then, fans will continue to speculate, debate, and adjust their Ultimate Team wish lists accordingly. You can pay attention to these player information in advance, prepare enough FC 26 Coins, and wait for the game to be released to choose the training that suits you.
One thing is certain — whether you agree with these predictions or not, EA FC 26 is shaping up to deliver another season of intense gameplay, strategic squad building, and heated discussions in the football gaming community.
