Ratings Week for EA Sports FC 27 has arrived, and EA Vancouver is kicking things off by revealing the top 27 men’s and women’s players in the game. With over 21,000 players across 800+ clubs, 140 stadiums, and 35+ leagues, the full picture will take the rest of the week to fill in as we get more FC 27 Player Ratings.
While Ultimate Team is undergoing some changes this year, overall ratings are still as vital as ever. EA’s ratings are built on real-world match data, football expertise, and what the publisher calls “decades of credibility.”

Player ratings in EA Sports FC 27 stay consistent across all modes, meaning the same OVRs apply whether you’re in Ultimate Team, Career Mode, or standard kickoff matches. Ratings are relative to each player’s league and the real-world competition around them.
Mbappé and Haaland share the top spot in the FC 27 player ratings
Last year, Kylian Mbappé shared his 91 OVR perch with Mohamed Salah. This time around, it’s Erling Haaland who climbs from 90 to 91 to join the Real Madrid striker at the top. Given Haaland’s prolific scoring run in the Premier League and a strong 2026 World Cup with Norway, the bump makes sense. Behind them, nine players sit at 90 OVR, headlined by a name that wasn’t anywhere near the top 10 a year ago: Michael Olise with a +4 OVR jump to 90.
After his move to FC Bayern München, Olise has been electric, racking up goals and assists at a rate that forced EA’s hand. He enters the top 27 for the first time and lands squarely in the 90 OVR tier alongside the likes of Rodri, Harry Kane, Jude Bellingham, and Lamine Yamal. For context, Olise wasn’t even in last year’s top 26.
The most talked-about absence in the men’s ratings will be Mohamed Salah. In EA Sports FC 26, Salah was the co-highest-rated player in the game at 91 OVR. He is not in the FC 27 top 27 at all. The list bottoms out at 88, meaning Salah’s rating has dropped at least three points from last year.
Salah’s final season at Liverpool was marred by a public fallout with manager Arne Slot that saw him dropped from the starting lineup and openly questioning the club in the press. His form cratered in the second half of the campaign, and he departed Anfield this summer and signed a two-year deal with Trabzonspor. Going from the top of the FC pyramid to outside the top 27 in a single cycle is a massive fall.
He’s not the only notable absence. Florian Wirtz, Bukayo Saka, Jamal Musiala, Alexander Isak, and Raphinha all featured in last year’s top 26 and are gone from this year’s list. Virgil van Dijk took a hit too, dropping from 90 to 88 OVR. Paris Saint-Germain, meanwhile, is loading up. The French club has seven players in the men’s top 27, more than any other side. And Lionel Messi still holds his place at 89 OVR with Inter Miami at 39 years old.
Putellas reigns supreme, but the NWSL is making waves
On the women’s side, Putellas retains her 91 OVR, but the landscape around her has shifted. Aitana Bonmatí, who shared the top women’s spot at 91 in EA Sports FC 26, drops to 90 after an injury-disrupted campaign. Khadija Shaw earned a 90 OVR bump after leading Manchester City to the Women’s Super League title, putting her level with Bonmatí at second overall.
Temwa Chawinga is the breakout star of the women’s ratings. The Kansas City Current striker won back-to-back NWSL MVPs and Golden Boots in 2024 and 2025, the first player in league history to take home MVP in consecutive years. She rewrote the NWSL single-season scoring record in her debut campaign with 20 goals and followed it up with 15 the next year. Chawinga enters the FC 27 top 27 at 89 OVR, tied for fourth among all women’s players. She wasn’t in the FC 26 top 26.
The NWSL’s overall presence in the top 27 grew from four players last year to six. Barbra Banda, who scored the championship-winning goal for Orlando Pride in 2024, joins the list at 88 OVR. On the other end, four established England internationals dropped out of the top 27: Lucy Bronze, Beth Mead, Leah Williamson, and Chloe Kelly. London City Lionesses, a club that was playing in the second tier two seasons ago, now has three players in the top 27 after landing Putellas, Mapi León, and Kadidiatou Diani in a single summer window.
