EA Sports has revealed players ranked 21 to 30 in the top 100 ratings for FIFA 19 Ultimate Team, including Liverpool player Mohamed Salah. The full game will release on September 28 for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PC, and Nintendo Switch.
As EA Sports moves closer to revealing the top players in the game, the final ratings are becoming increasingly exciting and controversial.
Mohamed Salah rating and stats
Mohamed Salah had a spectacular season for Liverpool, leading to him being named in the final three for the Best FIFA Men's Player award alongside Real Madrid duo Cristiano Ronaldo and Luka Modric. Despite those achievements, EA Sports ranked him comparatively low at 27th place.
The Egypt international boosted his rating up to an 88 overall after originally being an 83 in FIFA 18. His impressive card features stats of 92 pace, 89 dribbling, and 84 shooting.
It seems strange for EA Sports to rank 26 players ahead of Salah, especially players like Isco who did not reach the same heights last season. While Isco proved his quality at the World Cup and during Spain's friendly with England last weekend, he struggled at times for Real Madrid. The Spanish player received an 89 overall rating with 72 pace, 92 dribbling, 81 shooting, and 85 passing.
Top player ratings from 30 to 21
The 10 players revealed in the ratings group from 30 to 21 are:
- 30. Coutinho - 88
- 29. Hugo Lloris - 88
- 28. Marcelo - 88
- 27. Mohamed Salah - 88
- 26. Isco - 89
- 25. Marc-Andre ter Stegen - 89
- 24. David Silva - 89
- 23. Mats Hummels - 89
- 22. Edinson Cavani - 89
- 21. Paulo Dybala - 89
Manchester City Spanish midfielder David Silva also surprisingly ranks above Salah with an 89 rating. Silva helped City to a dominant season in the Premier League, but by no means did he have as big an impact as Salah. His 89-rated card includes 66 pace, 91 dribbling, 74 shooting, and 87 passing.
Finally, Juventus player Paulo Dybala will turn out to be an incredible attacking threat both in-game and in real life alongside teammate Cristiano Ronaldo. Dybala has an 89-rated card with 85 pace, 91 dribbling, 85 shooting, and 84 passing.
