EA Sports has downgraded Ronaldo’s rating for the third consecutive year. The Manchester United forward had a 94 rating in FIFA 19, 93 in FIFA 20 and 92 in FIFA 21. That said, he does sit as the best player, alongside De Bruyne, in the world’s most competitive league.

As previously mentioned, Kane and Kante sit close behind on a 90 rating. Then there are six players – Mohamed Salah, Virgil van Dijk, Heung-min Son, Alisson Becker, Ederson and Sadio Mane – who are tied in fifth with a rating of 89.

Chelsea’s comeback star Romelu Lukaku is an 88-rated player, the same as Manchester United’s Bruno Fernandes and Manchester City’s Raheem Sterling.

Last season’s FWA Footballer of the Year Ruben Dias then leads another group of six players, including Paul Pogba and Jadon Sancho, to boast a rating of 87. City full-back Joao Cancelo completes the top 20 with an 86 rating.
