Mbappe and Haaland share the top FC 27 rating at 91 OVR
EA SPORTS FC 27 Ratings Week is underway, and the headline number is confirmed: Kylian Mbappe and Erling Haaland are the joint highest-rated men's players in the game, both on 91 OVR.
This is a change from FC 26, where Mbappe topped the list alone. Haaland has been upgraded from 90 to 91 -- a bump that reflects his Premier League scoring form and Norway's run at the 2026 World Cup.
Alexia Putellas is confirmed as the highest-rated women's player, also on 91 OVR.
The full picture so far
90 OVR: the chasing pack
Nine players sit one point behind the leaders, all rated 90:
- Rodri (Manchester City)
- Ousmane Dembele (Paris Saint-Germain) -- reigning Ballon d'Or holder
- Vitinha (Paris Saint-Germain)
- Harry Kane (Bayern Munich)
- Michael Olise (Bayern Munich)
- Pedri (Barcelona)
- Lamine Yamal (Barcelona)
- Thibaut Courtois (Real Madrid)
- Jude Bellingham (Real Madrid)
The biggest faller: Mohamed Salah drops out entirely
Salah does not appear in the top 27 at all, which runs down to 88 OVR. It is a sharp fall after a difficult final season at Liverpool, and it is the single most talked-about change of this year's reveal.
His former teammate Virgil van Dijk has also been cut, down two points from 90 to 88.
Notable risers
Several Paris Saint-Germain players picked up significant upgrades on the back of their Champions League run:
- Khvicha Kvaratskhelia: 87 to 89
- Nuno Mendes: 86 to 89
- Willian Pacho: 86 to 88
Where does Messi land?
Lionel Messi is rated 89 OVR at Inter Miami -- still inside the world's best, but outside the very top tier for the first time in years.
What is still to come
Ratings Week is a staged rollout, not a single release:
- 15-20 August: Daily reveals -- the top 27 men's and women's players, Club Star Ratings, and players from the biggest leagues
- 21 August: The complete base item database goes live, without PlayStyles
- 10 September: An updated database including PlayStyles, released after the international transfer deadline so summer moves are reflected
That second date matters more than it looks. Any player who moves club between now and the international transfer window closing will have their FC 27 card updated on 10 September, not before.
FC 27 launches worldwide on 25 September 2026, with early access from 18 September for Ultimate and Ultimate Plus Edition buyers.
