FIFA 21 Ratings: Messi is still No.1

Another year, another FIFA 21 entry, and EA Sports is readying the masses ahead of the game’s release, unearthing the top 100 players in the game, and those at the top of the list should really come as no surprise.

Across Goalkeepers, Defenders, Midfielders, and Forwards, EA Sports has listed the top 20, effectively giving us 100 of the top players in the game (but not necessarily the top 100 given some players in any position that fall outside the top 20 at that position, may be higher than a top 20 player in another position).

At the top is who you would expect: Lionel Messi, with a ranking of 93, and Christiano Ronaldo, coming in at 92. 

The below is really just a glimpse of what we can expect with regards to player ratings in FIFA 21. Check out the revealed list below.
