There are some monumental upgrades on this 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 with Liverpool. He joins Kylian Mbappe, who amassed an impressive goal tally for Real Madrid last season.
Other upgrades to take note of include Raphinha, who has 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.
FC 26’s cover star, Jude Bellingham, retains his FC 25 rating. His cover co-star, Jamal Musiala, receives a slight upgrade despite an injury-hit campaign and being in-and-out of Bayern’s starting XI. Funnily enough, his teammate, Harry Kane, sees his rating drop despite raking in 41 goals and delivering 14 assists last season — go figure.
Further down the list, we’ve got newly minted 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 Arsenal duo of Bukayo Saka and Gabriel, both of whom sit at 88 after producing strong individual campaigns in the Premier League last year.

Alessia Russo gets a highly deserved upgrade, elevating the Arsenal striker to 89. Speaking of the Gunners, her teammate, Mariona, who played a crucial role in dispatching Barcelona in the UWCL final, receives a significant bump up to 89 as well.
Chelsea midfielder Guro Reiten remains at 88, as she has for the past three years. Rounding out the list is Chloe Kelly, whose consistently clutch antics have seen her pick up the Champions League with Arsenal and the Euros with the Lionesses in 2025 alone.
Who Are the Highest-Rated Players in FC 26?
The best players in FC 26 include the usual suspects in Kylian Mbappe, Aitana Bonmati, and Alexia Putellas, along with Mo Salah, completing the quartet.
All four stars had seasons to remember, picking up plenty of silverware along the way, with the Frenchman being the sole exception. That said, his tremendous goal tally helps make up for the lack of trophies.
Sitting right below them are the likes of Erling Haaland, who failed to meet his own astronomical standards last season, and Virgil van Dijk, who has joined the 90-rated club in EA FC 26— beware Ultimate Team attackers. Despite a middling campaign, Jude Bellingham remains 90-rated as well.
The biggest upgrade belongs to Ballon d’Or contender Lamine Yamal. The Barcelona talisman’s imperious campaign sees his rating climb to 89, instantly making him one of the best players in the game.
