EA Sports has unveiled the highly anticipated player ratings for its new football simulator, EA Sports FC 27. Only two players achieved the top 91 rating: Real Madrid's Kylian Mbappé and Manchester City's Erling Haaland. This marks a significant shift from the previous installment, where three players held this elite status.

Notably, Liverpool winger Mohamed Salah, who previously had a 91 rating, did not even make the top 27 this year, sparking considerable discussion. Alexia Putellas of Barcelona maintained her lead in the women's rankings. Bayern's Michael Olise received the biggest upgrade, boosting his rating to 90. The game also features the return of Richmond FC and Ted Lasso, alongside new gameplay mechanics.
