The full FC 27 player ratings database went live on August 21, and the top of it looks different this year: three players share the highest overall at 91, and the biggest single jump belongs to a WSL defender who gained ten points. This breakdown covers the top of the list, the upgrades and downgrades that matter for Ultimate Team, and the club-by-club numbers people actually search for.
Three Players Tied at 91
Alexia Putellas, Erling Haaland, and Kylian Mbappé share the top spot at 91. Putellas and Mbappé simply held their FC 26 ratings, while Haaland earned the +1 that pulled him level. Right behind them sits a crowded 90 tier: Aitana Bonmatí, Harry Kane, Jude Bellingham, Khadija Shaw, Lamine Yamal, Michael Olise, Ousmane Dembélé, Pedri, Rodri, Thibaut Courtois, and Vitinha.

The 88 tier continues with Declan Rice, Jan Oblak, João Neves, Joshua Kimmich, Klara Bühl, Luis Díaz, Mapi León, Melchie Dumornay, Patricia Guijarro, and Raphinha. Pace merchants hunting the meta should note that overall rating and speed tell different stories: our top 50 fastest players list has Mbappé at 96 pace with several sub-85 cards right behind him.
Biggest Upgrades in FC 27
The headline jump is Jade Rose, up ten points from 73 to 83 after her breakout WSL season. Kerstin Casparij follows at +6 (79 to 85), with Rayan Cherki and Kerolin both at +5, landing on 86 and 85. Ayaka Yamashita rounds out the big WSL movers at +5 (79 to 84).
Among the men, David Raya gains four points to 88, Michael Olise's +4 takes him into the 90 club, and Pau Cubarsí climbs four to 86. Gabriel (89) and Luis Díaz (88) both add three, Clàudia Pina's +3 puts her at 89, and Bruno Fernandes moves up two to 89.
Biggest Downgrades in FC 27
Florian Wirtz takes the hardest fall among big names, down three to 86. Beth Mead matches that drop at 84. Alisson loses two points to 87, Serhou Guirassy slides to 85, and Virgil van Dijk settles at 88. Smaller cuts hit Jamal Musiala (87), Raphinha (88), Julián Álvarez (86), and Kadidiatou Diani (87). The most discussed one is Aitana Bonmatí: from 91 down to 90, which cost her a share of the top spot.
Club and League Quick Hits
Arsenal fans get the strongest group the club has had in years: Gabriel 89, Raya 88, Declan Rice 88, and Viktor Gyökeres 86, plus Alessia Russo at 88 on the WSL side. At Manchester United the story is shorter. Bruno Fernandes at 89 carries the squad rating, and his +2 makes him the club's only mover worth noting.
In the Bundesliga, Kane's 90 leads ahead of Olise, with Kimmich at 88, while Klara Bühl tops the Frauen-Bundesliga at 88 ahead of Pernille Harder's 87. La Liga's peak is Mbappé's 91, with Yamal, Courtois, and Pedri all at 90; in Liga F, Bonmatí's 90 sits just above an 89 group led by Pina.
How these ratings interact with the new season matters more than the raw numbers. Gold cards lose their Rare split this year and feed the new SBC Points system by rating, so a 90-rated card is fodder currency in a way it never was before. Our guide to everything new in FC 27 Ultimate Team explains those systems in full. And if you plan to chase any of the 90+ cards in the launch market, you can top up your PS5 club before early access starts on September 18.
