EA has revealed the 22 top-rated players for FIFA 2022 – check the list out below.
Taking information gathered by talent scouting network The Ratings Collective, FIFA has evaluated players on over 30 attributes to create the FIFA Ratings – “the authoritative ranking of over 17,000 players’ footballing ability”.
EA has then taken all that information to create a Top Trumps-style list of the best 22 players in the world (and FIFA) today, with ratings for pace, shooting & passing accuracy, dribbling, defending and physicality all given out of 100, which reflects their in-game abilities. There’s also an overall score.
