Summary
EA Sports has officially revealed the top player ratings for EA Sports FC 27, giving fans their first major look at how the game's biggest stars will rank. At the top of the men's list, Kylian Mbappé and Erling Haaland share the highest rating at 91 OVR, continuing one of football's biggest virtual rivalries.
Mbappé and Haaland Share First Place
Mbappé remains one of the most dominant attackers in FC 27. His 91 rating reflects his combination of explosive pace, elite dribbling, and finishing, making him an obvious favorite for Ultimate Team players looking for a dangerous forward.
Haaland also reaches 91 OVR, improving from his 90 rating in FC 26. His physical strength, finishing, and goal-scoring ability make him a completely different type of attacking threat. The Norwegian striker is particularly attractive for players who prefer direct attacks and powerful forwards.
Nine Players Close Behind
The next tier features a huge group of superstars rated 90 OVR. Rodri, Ousmane Dembélé, Vitinha, Harry Kane, Michael Olise, Pedri, Lamine Yamal, Thibaut Courtois, and Jude Bellingham all sit just one point behind the leaders.
One of the biggest upgrades belongs to Michael Olise, who jumps four points to 90 OVR after an impressive season. Lamine Yamal also maintains his position among the game's elite, highlighting his rapid rise among football's biggest young stars.
Messi Gets a Major Upgrade
One of the most surprising changes is Lionel Messi's new 89 OVR rating. Despite being 39, Messi receives a three-point upgrade compared with FC 26, putting him firmly back among the highest-rated players in the game.
Meanwhile, Mohamed Salah's dramatic fall is another major talking point. After being rated 91 in FC 26, he no longer appears in FC 27's top 27 men's players, creating plenty of debate among fans.
What It Means for Ultimate Team
These ratings will have a major impact on the early FC 27 Ultimate Team meta. Mbappé and Haaland are likely to be among the most desirable attackers, while players such as Dembélé, Yamal, Bellingham, and Pedri could also become extremely popular choices. Having enough FC 27 Coins can help players build competitive squads and target top-rated stars early.
With FC 27 launching on September 25, 2026, the ratings reveal gives players an early idea of which stars could dominate the new Ultimate Team cycle.
