With a new football season on the horizon, fans can once again look forward to another installment in the EA Sports FC franchise. We’re on EA FC 26 now, and this year’s iteration appears to be trying its hardest to fix last year’s gameplay woes. The devs are touting important tweaks to passing and dribbling, alongside a much-needed goalkeeper AI overhaul. But of course, at the heart of the experience are the many footballers lending their likeness to the game. EA FC 26 is sure to shake up last year’s player ratings in some interesting ways. And ahead of the official database release, we’ve put together all the EA FC 26 ratings leaked so far.
Top 50 EA FC 26 Player Ratings Leaked

While we wait for the official database, X accounts such as ‘FutSheriff‘ have revealed the ratings of the best players in EA FC 26. The leaks come from a reliable source, so they should be precise for the most part, but we still recommend taking them with a grain of salt. That said, here are all the leaked ratings:
Player Name Club Position FC 26 Leaked Rating Mohamed Salah Liverpool RW 91 (+2) Kylian Mbappe Real Madrid ST 91 Alexia Putellas Barcelona Femeni CM 91 (+1) Aitana Bonmati Barcelona Femeni CM 91 Rodri Manchester City CDM 90 (-1) Jude Bellingham Real Madrid CM 90 Caroline Graham Hansen Barcelona Femeni RW 90 Ousmane Dembele PSG ST 90 (+4) Erling Haaland Manchester City ST 90 (-1) Virgil Van Dijk Liverpool CB 90 (+1) Thibaut Courtois Real Madrid GK 89 Harry Kane Bayern Munich ST 89 (-1) Joshua Kimmich Bayern Munich CDM 89 (+3) Gianluigi Donnarumma PSG GK 89 Achraf Hakimi PSG RB 89 (+5) Mapi Leon Barcelona Femini CB 89 Mariona Arsenal Women CM 89 Patri Guijarro Barcelona Femini CDM 89 (+1) Vinicius Jr. Real Madrid LW 89 (-1) Lamine Yamal Barcelona RW 89 (+8) Florian Wirtz Liverpool CAM 89 (+1) Alisson Liverpool GK 89 Federico Valverde Real Madrid CM 89 (+1) Khadija Shaw Manchester City Women ST 89 (+3) Pedri Barcelona CM 89 (+3) Vitinha PSG CM 89 (+4) Alessia Russo Arsenal Women ST 89 (+4) Bukayo Saka Arsenal RW 88 (+1) Jan Oblak Atletico Madrid GK 88 Irene Parades Barcelona Femini CB 88 Kadidiatou Diani Lyon RW 88 Guro Reiten Chelsea Women LM 88 Debinha KC Current CAM 88 Lautaro Martinez Inter (Lombardia FC) ST 88 (-1) Alexander Isak Newcastle United ST 88 (+3) Jamal Musiala Bayern Munich CAM 88 (+1) Robert Lewandowski Barcelona ST 88 Marie Katoto PSG ST 88 Ewa Pajor Barcelona Femini ST 88 (+1) Christiane Endler Lyon GK 88 Jonathan Tah Bayern Munich CB 87 (+1) Yann Sommer Inter (Lombardia FC) GK 87 Kevin De Bruyne Napoli CM 87 (-3) Sehrou Guirassy Borussia Dortmund ST 87 (+3) Marquinhos PSG CB 87 Cole Palmer Chelsea RM 87 (+2) Moises Caicedo Chelsea CDM 87 (+5) Viktor Gyokeres Arsenal ST 87 (+3) William Saliba Arsenal CB 87 Declan Rice Arsenal CM 87
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.
And that wraps up our EA FC 26 ratings guide. As mentioned at the start, the offical player ratings are yet to be revealed, but we’ll be sure to update this article as soon as they are.
