FC 27 Ratings Drop: Haaland & Mbappé Own the 91 Club, Messi's Back, Salah's Gone

The wait is over. EA Sports has lifted the hood on FC 27 ratings, and the headline is simple: Erling Haaland and Kylian Mbappé are the baddest men on the virtual pitch. Both land at a 91 rating, with Haaland climbing from 90 and Mbappé holding strong at the top after a monster summer.

Mbappé went absolutely nuclear at the World Cup, bagging 10 goals to snag his second Golden Boot and become the all-time leading World Cup scorer with 22. Haaland? He put Norway on his back with seven goals and turned the U.S. into his personal hype tour. Yeah, they earned that number.

Men's Ratings: Stars Shine, Salah Sinks

Just below the summit sits a logjam of 90-rated superstars: Rodri, Ousmane Dembélé, Vitinha, Harry Kane, Michael Olise, Pedri, Lamine Yamal, Thibaut Courtois, and Jude Bellingham. That's a murderer's row of elite talent.

And don't look now, but Lionel Messi is trending up. After a stellar World Cup campaign, the Inter Miami icon climbs back to 89 from 86. The GOAT isn't done yet.

But not everyone got good news. Virgil van Dijk slips from 90 to 88, and the bigger shock? Mohamed Salah — who was tied at the top last year — has dropped out of the top 27 altogether after a quiet farewell at Liverpool and a move to Trabzonspor. Brutal.

Arsenal's title-winning trio of Gabriel Magalhães, William Saliba, and Declan Rice all crack the top 27, while PSG flex six players on the list after their double Champions League run.

Women's Ratings: Putellas Still the Queen

On the women's side, Alexia Putellas remains the highest-rated player in the game at 91 after her move to London City Lionesses. She's one ahead of Barcelona's Aitana Bonmatí and Man City's Khadija "Bunny" Shaw, who both land at 90 after Shaw fired City to the WSL title.

Some will be scratching their heads over Alessia Russo dropping from 89 to 88 despite balling out for Arsenal and England. EA said what they said.

Eleven WSL players crack the top 27 — proof that the English women's game is absolutely booming.
