I was awake when the official FC 27 tweet hit my feed and the notifications exploded. You could feel the room tighten—ratings dropped, arguments queued. I saved the list and set to work separating the headlines from the hot takes.
I’m writing this so you can scroll fast, spot the surprises, and have ammunition for the group chat. EA SPORTS FC posted the first wave of ratings; pre-order sits at $69.99 (€64) on PlayStation and Xbox storefronts and across major retailers.

Who are the highest-rated players in FC 27?
Mbappé and Haaland sit at the summit of the men’s list with 91 each; on the women’s side, Alexia Putellas tops the table at 91. These are the ratings that will drive Ultimate Team picks and manager decisions across PlayStation, Xbox, and PC.
Top Men’s players in FC 27
A late-summer post from EA SPORTS FC sent forums into overdrive and betting odds into recalculation. Like a stock market ticker, the numbers sparked instant debates: who moved up, who fell, and who should have been higher.
Below are the players EA listed among the leading men. Clubs like Real Madrid, Manchester City, PSG and Barcelona are well represented—an index of where influence and money still concentrate.
- Mbappe 91
- Haaland 91
- Rodri 90
- Ousmane Dembele 90
- Vitinha 90
- Harry Kane 90
- Michael Olise 90
- Pedri 90
- Lamine Yamal 90
- Thibaut Courtois 90
- Jude Bellingham 90
- Gabriel 89
- Donnarumma 89
- Bruno Fernandes 89
- Khvicha Kvaratskhelia 89
- Nuno Mendes 89
- William Pacho 89
- Lionel Messi 89
- Vinicius Junior 89
- Oblak 88
- Declan Rice 88
- William Saliba 88
- Virgil van Dijk 88
- Joao Neves 88
- Joshua Kimmich 88
- Luis Diaz 88
Big notes: the 90 cluster is crowded, which will make in-game chemistry and role choice the real differentiator for players in Ultimate Team. Expect managers on FUT and Career Mode to value work rate and stamina metrics more than headline numbers.
Which clubs have the most players in the top lists?
Real Madrid, Manchester City, PSG and Barcelona dominate the visible sample—Champions League exposure and transfer-market spending feed into perception and raw statistics (Opta and Transfermarkt are often referenced in the process). That concentration matters when you build squads in Career Mode or on FUT weekend leagues.
Top women’s players in FC 27
The women’s ratings arrived as a clear signal that national-team form and club visibility are being weighted differently than in prior seasons. As if a spotlight had been turned on women’s football, names from Spain and other emerging powerhouses sit near the zenith.
Here are the leading women EA listed—these players will move markets in manager mode, brand deals, and streaming highlight reels.
- Putellas 91
- Bonmati 90
- Khadija Shaw 90
- Caroline Hansen 89
- Mariona 89
- Pajor 89
- Pina 89
- Temwa Chawinga 89
- Mapi Leon 88
- Patri Guijarro 88
- Hasegawa 88
- Klara Buhl 88
- Russo 88
- Sophia Wilson 88
- Melchie Dumornay 88
Observation: Spain’s development pipeline shows in the list; clubs and national programs that prioritize minutes for young talents are reflected here. If you follow FIFA esports, club esports teams will lean into these ratings when drafting rosters for events.
How does FC 27 rate women’s players?
EA combines match data (Opta-style stats), scouting reports, and club performance. Platforms like FIFA’s old database and community resources—Transfermarkt and StatsBomb—often surface as reference points in debates. For players and managers, that mix determines who is meta for Women’s Ultimate Team and Career Mode squads.
I’ll track further reveals and roster updates over the coming days and flag the genuine shocks versus the predictable placements. Which rating will make you drop a player from your squad or buy every available pack this weekend?
