EA Sports FC 26 official ratings see Lamine Yamal the biggest winner as Mo Salah and Kylian Mbappe crowned the highest rated players

The official ratings of the top 52 players in EA Sports FC 26 have been revealed, crowning Mohamed Salah and Kylian Mbappe as the highest rated players in this season’s edition.
Salah and Mbappe are 2 of 4 91-rated current pros in FC 26, with current Women’s Balon D’or holder Aitania Bonmati and Barcelona teammate (and former Balon D’or winner) Alexia Putellas climbing back to the top of the tree after what must’ve been a frustrating, but ultimately successful in a sense, season which saw Spain and Barcelona finish as runners up in both the European Championships and Champions League.
Elsewhere, after missing pretty much the entire season through injury, Rodri has seen his rating slip to 90 Overall (tied with teammate Erling Haaland), while Man City new boy Gigi Donnarumma is FC 26’s top goalkeeper with 89 Overall; a title shared with Liverpool’s Alisson and Real Madrid’s Thibaut Courtois.
Unsurprisingly, the biggest upgrade among the world’s best players is Barcelona’s Lamine Yamal, who has seen his rating go up by 8 points to a mighty 89 at just 18 years old. That’s the highest rating ever for an 18 year old, but not for a teenager. Wayne Rooney was handed a mighty 93 rating back in FIFA 06, whereas Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi were in their 20s before they surpassed Yamal’s current Overall in FIFA 06 and FIFA 09 respectively.
Other big upgrades include England and Arsenal’s continental-conquering striker Alessia Russo, who’s up 4 points to 89, whereas fellow Arsenal forward Mariona has stepped out of the shadow of her former Barcelona teammates since her move last summer to reach 89 herself.
Men’s Champions League winner Achraf Hakimi has stepped up to fill the full-back-shaped hole left by Theo Hernandez’s move to Saudi with a new +5 Overall of 89, while Raphinha has finally been rewarded for his explosive creativity with a bumper 89 rating too - level with his compatriot, Vinicius Junior.
These official FC 26 ratings come after EA Sports has revealed a slew of new Icons and Heroes for this year’s game, including long-requested names like Francesco Totti, Andres Iniesta and the recently retired Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
The full list of the top 52 highest rated players in EA Sports FC 26 is as follows:
