EA Sports’ first installment of their annual football title since severing ties with FIFA is set to be released to the public shortly.
By the end of the month, the brand-new football video game will be released under a new name — EA Sports FC — after spending more than 20 years under the FIFA brand.
With the dawn of the new season, it appears Real Madrid’s excellence on the pitch has translated seamlessly into the digital realm.
Real Madrid dominate Spanish League ratings
Indeed, the list of the top-rated players residing in La Liga has been publicised via B/R Football, and the Merengues appear to be dominating the charts.
With a rating of 90, Thibaut Courtois is in first place owing to his spectacular heroics between the sticks for Madrid last season. Vinicius Jr is not far behind, as he is rated at 89 in the new game, which sees him gain a 3-point advantage compared to last season.
The midfield maestros Fede Valverde and Luka Modric are also present, with 87 and 86 ratings attributed to them, respectively.
Eder Militao, Jude Bellingham, and Toni Kroos share an 86 rating, while David Alaba, Antonio Rudiger, and Rodrygo are all in possession of 85-rated cards.
Rivals not far behind
FC Barcelona also boasts many players with high ratings, as Robert Lewandowski is the joint-highest-rated player alongside Courtois, with several other notable inclusions.
Meanwhile, some significant Atletico Madrid players have also made the cut. Antoine Griezmann, after his stunning season for the Rojiblancos, has usurped the throne for Atleti’s highest-rated player, receiving a plus-5 increase as he now owns an 88-rated card.
Jan Oblak stands at 88, while Rodrigo De Paul’s 84-rated card sees him also qualify.
