93 and 92 dribbling ratings
Dembélé is listed as a striker at PSG with a 90 overall. The 93 dribbling rating sits next to 90 pace, 89 shooting, 83 passing, 55 defending, and 70 physical. That mix is built for sharp turns in the box, not just wide isolation.
Yamal matches that 93 dribbling on a 90-overall right winger at Barcelona. His supporting numbers are 86 pace, 84 shooting, 87 passing, 38 defending, and 61 physical. The passing gap is the practical difference. Yamal is the cleaner creator of the two 93s. Dembélé is the more direct finisher.
Two 91-overall cards sit one point back. Cover star Kylian Mbappé has 92 dribbling at Real Madrid with 96 pace, 91 shooting, 80 passing, 29 defending, and 76 physical. Alexia Putellas also has 92 dribbling, plus 80 pace, 90 shooting, 91 passing, 72 defending, and 75 physical from central midfield at London City Lionesses.
Those four cards split into two jobs. Mbappé and Dembélé carry the ball through the last line. Putellas and Yamal keep it while the attack is still being built.
91 and 90 dribbling ratings
Five players sit at 91 dribbling. Michael Olise (90 OVR, RM, Bayern Munich) has 83 pace and 89 passing. Pedri (90 OVR, CM, Barcelona) has 89 passing and 77 defending. Vitinha (90 OVR, CM, PSG) has 88 passing and 75 defending. Vini Jr. (89 OVR, LW, Real Madrid) has 93 pace and 85 shooting. Rayan Cherki (86 OVR, RW, Manchester City) has 74 pace and 85 passing.
Cherki is the outlier in that group. The dribbling number is elite. The overall rating and pace are not. Pedri and Vitinha are the opposite case. They hold 91 dribbling on midfield cards that can also defend.
The 90-dribbling band is deeper. Mariona (89 OVR, CM, Arsenal) pairs it with 78 defending and 82 physical. Caroline Graham Hansen (89 OVR, RW, Barcelona) adds 88 pace, 87 shooting, and 88 passing. Lionel Messi (89 OVR, CAM, Inter Miami) still has 89 passing next to 76 pace. Khvicha Kvaratskhelia (89 OVR, LW, PSG) brings 86 pace and 81 physical.
Melchie Dumornay (88 OVR, ST, Lyon) has 92 pace on that same 90 dribbling rating. Jamal Musiala (87 OVR, CAM, Bayern Munich) and Désiré Doué (86 OVR, RW, PSG) complete the public 90 club. Doué also has 80 physical, which is high for a wide attacker on this list.
Best dribblers by position
The same ratings look different once you sort them by role. Wide forwards hold most of the 93s and 91s. Central players hold more of the well-rounded 90-to-92 cards.
| Position | Highest public dribbling ratings |
|---|---|
| ST | Dembélé 93, Mbappé 92, Dumornay 90, Pajor 89 |
| RW | Yamal 93, Cherki 91, Graham Hansen 90, Doué 90 |
| LW | Vini Jr. 91, Kvaratskhelia 90, Caicedo 89, Doku 88 |
| RM | Olise 91, Diani 88, Cascarino 88 |
| CM | Putellas 92, Pedri 91, Vitinha 91, Mariona 90 |
| CAM | Messi 90, Musiala 90, Debinha 89, Bellingham 88 |
| CDM | Little 89, Hasegawa 88 |
A few other public cards also sit at 88 dribbling. Claudia Pina is an 89-overall left winger with 91 pace and 89 shooting. Sophia Wilson is an 88-overall striker with 91 pace and 87 shooting. Patri Guijarro is an 88-overall defensive midfielder with 84 defending and 88 physical. Aitana Bonmatí, Jude Bellingham, Florian Wirtz, Phil Foden, and Pernille Harder fill out the rest of that 88 band in midfield.
Kim Little remains the clearest deep-lying option. An 84 overall and 89 dribbling on a CDM is rare on this board. Linda Caicedo is the pace-first wide option at 93 pace and 89 dribbling. Ewa Pajor is the finishing-first striker at 93 pace, 91 shooting, and 89 dribbling.
More ratings can still go public, so the floor of this list may grow. The top of it does not change among the cards already shown. Dembélé and Yamal stay at 93. Putellas and Mbappé stay at 92.
