Ratings season is the loudest part of any new EA Sports FC release, and the numbers below map out how the top of the game is expected to look once EA reveals the top 50 and beyond. These are projections built on the 2025-26 club campaigns and the 2026 World Cup, not confirmed figures, so treat every overall as a forecast until the official database goes live.
Quick answer: Erling Haaland, Kylian Mbappé, Harry Kane, Thibaut Courtois, Alexia Putellas, and Aitana Bonmati are all predicted to land at 91 overall, the joint-highest ratings in the projected list.
The projected 91-rated group
Six players headline the forecast at 91 overall. Haaland is tipped for a one-point rise after finishing as Premier League top scorer again and carrying that form into the World Cup. He is expected to sit alongside Mbappé, the EA FC 27 cover star, who is projected to hold at 91 after another elite goalscoring return with Real Madrid.
Harry Kane joins them after a record-breaking calendar year in front of goal for Bayern München, with a +1 bump to 91. Courtois rounds out the men’s side of the group at 91, the highest-rated goalkeeper in the projection. On the women’s side, Putellas and Bonmati are both forecast to stay at 91 and keep their place at the summit.
Full projected top ratings for EA FC 27
The table below lists the predicted overalls for the highest-rated men’s and women’s players, with the projected change from EA FC 26 shown in brackets. A plus means an upgrade, a minus means a downgrade, and a zero means no change.

Biggest predicted upgrades
The largest jumps are projected for players who took on bigger roles at their clubs. Three names lead the way at +4, with several more moving up three points.
| Player | Predicted rating | Change |
|---|---|---|
| Joao Neves | 89 | +4 |
| Dominik Szoboszlai | 87 | +4 |
| Joan Garcia | 86 | +4 |
| Michael Olise | 89 | +3 |
| Willian Pacho | 89 | +3 |
| Hugo Ekitike | 86 | +3 |
Lamine Yamal is the young talent most often flagged for a rise, edging into the 90-rated club at RM. Joan Garcia stands out as the fastest-rising goalkeeper in the projection after a strong breakout season.
Biggest predicted downgrades
Mohamed Salah is set for the sharpest fall among the elite, dropping three points to 88 after a quieter season and a move to Trabzonspor. Virgil van Dijk is projected to slide by the same margin to 87.
| Player | Predicted rating | Change |
|---|---|---|
| Mohamed Salah | 88 | -3 |
| Virgil van Dijk | 87 | -3 |
| Alisson Becker | 87 | -2 |
| Bukayo Saka | 87 | -1 |
| Alexander Isak | 87 | -1 |
| Florian Wirtz | 88 | -1 |
Where the veterans land
Lionel Messi is forecast to hold steady at 86 with Inter Miami CF, since EA weighs current output more heavily than career history. Kevin De Bruyne is also projected to stay level at 87 following his move to Napoli. Ratings for older stars tend to reflect recent minutes and physical attributes rather than reputation, which keeps their numbers flat or gently declining.
When the official ratings replace these numbers
Every figure here is a projection drawn from club form and World Cup performances, so the final database will differ in places. EA reveals ratings in stages, starting with the top 50 before the wider list follows. Once the official numbers appear, they override any prediction, and preseason form or late transfers can still shift individual overalls before launch. Until then, use this list as a working guide to the game’s likely top tier rather than a confirmed order.
