EA Sports has opened Ratings Week for EA FC 27, and the Premier League list is the first big drop. Erling Haaland sits alone at the summit, Arsenal packs the top ten harder than any other club, and Liverpool’s summer spending shows up across three different lines of the pitch.
Quick answer: Haaland is the highest-rated Premier League player in EA FC 27 at 91 overall, with 92 shooting, 89 physical, and 87 pace.
Who tops the EA FC 27 Premier League ratings
Haaland’s 91 is a clean two-point gap over everyone else in the division. Nobody else in England hits 90, which makes the Manchester City striker the only genuine outlier card in the league at launch.
Behind him, three players share 89. Bruno Fernandes carries Manchester United’s midfield with a 92 passing stat, the highest passing number in the top group. Gianluigi Donnarumma anchors City’s goal at 89, and Gabriel gives Arsenal an 89-rated centre-back whose 91 defending is the best defensive number on the list.

Goalkeeper attributes read differently from outfield players. For keepers, the six columns map to diving, handling, kicking, reflexes, speed, and positioning in the same order as pace, shooting, passing, dribbling, defending, and physical.

Arsenal has the deepest squad in the league
Seven Arsenal players land at 86 or higher, more than any other club. The back line is the headline. Gabriel at 89 and Saliba at 88 form a centre-back pairing with 91 and 90 defending respectively, and David Raya sits behind them at 88 with 88 kicking and 88 reflexes.
Ahead of them, Declan Rice reaches 88 with a balanced 86 passing and 85 defending. Bukayo Saka takes 87, while Martin Ødegaard, Viktor Gyökeres, and Bruno Guimarães all land on 86. Gyökeres brings 87 shooting and 87 physical, which makes him the most direct striker option in the group.
Liverpool, Manchester City, and Chelsea ratings
Liverpool spreads its quality across every third of the pitch. Virgil van Dijk holds an 88 with 89 defending, Alisson takes 87 in goal, and the attacking band of Alexander Isak, Florian Wirtz, and Dominik Szoboszlai all sit at 86. Wirtz’s 88 dribbling is the standout number there.
Manchester City’s strength runs through Haaland, Donnarumma, and Rúben Dias at 87. Rayan Cherki adds an 86-rated right winger with 91 dribbling, the highest dribbling figure among outfield players in the top group, and Antoine Semenyo comes in at 85.
Chelsea’s core is its midfield. Enzo Fernández and Moisés Caicedo both hit 86, covering the passing and ball-winning roles separately, with Cole Palmer at 85 in the attacking midfield slot.
Standout attributes worth building around
Overall rating rarely tells you how a card plays. These are the specific numbers that separate the top group.
| Attribute | Leader | Value |
|---|---|---|
| Shooting | Haaland | 92 |
| Passing (outfield) | Bruno Fernandes | 92 |
| Defending | Gabriel | 91 |
| Dribbling (outfield) | Cherki | 91 |
| Physical | Haaland | 89 |
| Pace (outfield) | Haaland | 87 |
| Goalkeeper diving | Donnarumma | 90 |
| Goalkeeper kicking | Pickford | 89 |
Note: Haaland is unusual in leading three separate categories among outfield players. His 47 defending and 71 passing are the trade-off, so he works as a pure finisher rather than a link player.
Ratings outside the traditional top six
Three clubs outside the usual group place a player in the 85 tier. Granit Xhaka lands at Sunderland with 85 passing and 81 physical, though his 45 pace limits where he can play. Sandro Tonali reaches 85 at Tottenham Hotspur with a well-rounded profile across defending, physical, and passing.
In goal, Jordan Pickford takes 85 at Everton and Emiliano Martínez matches him at Aston Villa. Pickford’s 89 kicking gives him a distinct edge for build-from-the-back setups.
Ratings Week continues with reveals for the other major leagues, and these numbers reflect the Gold player items available at launch rather than special cards added later.
