Here’s a new batch of ratings for you
You’re counting down the days, listening to Martin Tyler’s commentary deteriorate as your copy of FIFA 18 grows old. Playing with last season’s squads. Ronaldo is still at Real Madrid, Chelsea don’t yet have Jorginho or Kovačiç. You feel an itch. An itch for new updates, new kits, new transfers. The new FIFA.
And it will come, soon enough. In the meantime, to fill that FIFA 19 shaped hole in our lives, we must discover everything we can about the game. We’ve seen that there will be new game modes, we know that it will have full Champions League licensing. But what about player ratings?
Well, funny you should ask. After the announcement that Lionel Messi will rightly be rated higher than Cristiano Ronaldo, we have some more rating related news for you.
A batch of players ranked between the 81st-100th best players on the game have been released, and the list includes a few Premier League players. Virgil van Dijk may feel he has grounds of appeal for a few of his ratings.
