One of the most anticipated moments in gaming is here: EA Sports has finally unveiled the player ratings for FC 26! These ratings not only reflect how football stars performed last season but also completely reshape the Ultimate Team (FUT) market.

This year’s list is packed with major leaps and unexpected drops that surprised everyone. Here’s a look at the global elite and the most talked-about rating changes:

Top of the Game: FC 26’s Highest Rated 5 Players

The battle for the top spot continues, and the 90+ club is more crowded than ever.

SHOCKING RISES: This Year’s Biggest Breakout Players

This year’s ratings highlight not just the top players but also young stars who jumped over 10 points. These names will be in high demand during the first weeks of Ultimate Team.

CONTROVERSIAL DROPS and Surprising Decisions

Critics and fans are having a hard time accepting some rating drops for veteran stars.

• Joshua Kimmich (dropped from 89 to 88): Even a single-point drop has caused a major debate for the versatile German midfielder.

• Casemiro (dropped from 89 to 86): The biggest fall since last season. No longer a "meta" card in FUT and his price has plummeted.

• Goalkeepers Stuck in Place: Some of the world’s best keepers (like Courtois) stayed at 90 despite outstanding performances, while players expected 91+.

The New FUT Market Landscape

These ratings will shake up everything in Ultimate Team:

1. New Meta: Dynamic cards like Palmer (89 rated) will sell for higher prices than static 91-rated cards.

2. SBC Value: High-rated cards (88-89) that don’t make it into FUT squads, especially those with low pace, are expected to be quickly snapped up for Squad Building Challenges (SBCs).
