There are some monumental upgrades on this leaked ratings list, which EA isn’t known to hand out but some of them are certainly deserved. At the top of the pack sits Mo Salah, who has earned a well-deserved upgrade on the back of another POTY-winning campaign. The highest-rated players from FC 25, such as Mbappe and Bonmati, retain their ratings, with Alexia Putellas completing the quartet.
Other upgrades to take note of include Raphinha, who’s reportedly been awarded a +5 increase for his standout season with Barcelona. The same can be said for his teammate Lamine Yamal, who appears to have earned one of the biggest upgrades in franchise history. This year’s Ballon d’Or frontrunner, Ousmane Dembele, also gets a bump up, joining the 90s club for the first time.
Further down the list, we’ve got soon-to-be Liverpool striker Alexander Isak, whose rating has been bumped to 88 as a reward for his 23 Premier League goals last season. Rounding out the leaks is the Chelsea duo of Cole Palmer and Moises Caicedo, both of whom reportedly sit at 87 after picking up the Club World Cup title in the summer.
When Will EA FC 26 Ratings Be Revealed?
Judging by the schedule of prior games, EA FC 26 ratings will likely be revealed in early September. The ratings reveal is a pretty exciting period for fans, with EA slowly drip-feeding the player ratings to build up even more excitement.
It all kicks off with a countdown of the top 50 players in the game, before the best players per league are revealed altogether alongside the full ratings database. Ratings typically begin to leak weeks before the official reveal, and FC 26 is clearly no different.
Who Will Be the Highest-Rated Players in FC 26?

Based on their 24/25 campaigns, we can safely predict EA FC 26’s highest-rated players. For example, last year’s table-toppers such as Kylian Mbappe and Aitana Bonmati are more than likely to retain their spots.
In the Frenchman’s case, his goal tally helps smooth out the lack of major silverware, while the Barcelona midfielder delivered yet another impressive campaign. There’s also a solid chance of Mo Salah ascending the ladder to join them, as the Egyptian produced a season to remember last year.
Sitting right below them will be the likes of Erling Haaland, who failed to meet his own astronomical standards last season, and Virgil van Dijk, who is also likely to join the 90-rated club in EA FC 26— beware Ultimate Team attackers. Despite a middling campaign, we expect Jude Bellingham to remain 90-rated as well, considering he’s the game’s cover star.
The biggest upgrade we can expect to see belongs to Ballon d’Or contender Lamine Yamal. The Barcelona talisman’s imperious campaign could see his rating climb to 89, instantly making one of the best players in the game.
