Lionel Messi does not need the FIFA 22 video game list for the FIFA 22 best players to prove he is the world’s best footballer. But the Barcelona man still leads the way in the ratings of this year’s edition, released today. The Argentine maestro sees off competition from a host of stellar performers, with Lewandowski taking third place despite his great form this season. Neymar also moves up while up-and-coming players Mbappe and Gabriel Jesus perform admirably, leaving Ronaldo in the seventh position. Here we profile the top seven in detail.
1. Lionel Messi (OVR 94 -> 99)
2. Robert Lewandowski (OVR 90 -> 99)
3. Cristiano Ronaldo (OVR 92 -> 98)
4. Kevin De Bruyne (OVR 91 -> 98)
5. Neymar Jr (OVR 92 -> 98)
6. Jan Oblak (OVR 91 -> 97)
7. Virgil van Dijk (OVR 90 -> 97)
1. Lionel Messi (RW, Paris St Germain) – 93
We can’t promise that Messi will be your new best friend. We’d love it if he was, but FIFA doesn’t allow us to do that. But he is one of the best players in the world right now, and he’s pretty good at the PlayStation, too.
Here are all of Messi’s ratings in FIFA 22:
Pace 85
Shooting 92
Passing 91
Dribbling 95
Perfect for the 1st position in the list of FIFA 22 best players
Unfortunately, this is only a guide and not a complete list of Messi’s attributes. He could perform better if you spent more time with him than if you’d just bought the game for him.
2. Robert Lewandowski (ST, FC Bayern) – 92
Robert Lewandowski is a beast. He’s been arguably the best striker on the planet for years now and is getting better with age – he’s not even in his thirties yet. It’s hard to find a weakness in his game.
Lewa is just ridiculous. If you’re looking for a striker, you can skip the rest of this list: the only thing that matters is this man.
Position: ST
OVR: 93
shot power 97
finishing 94
positioning 88
He’s got everything you could want from a striker, with these scores he comes at 2 in the list of FIFA 22 best players
3. Cristiano Ronaldo (ST, Manchester United) – 91
After marking his return to Manchester with a two-goal salvo against Norwich City, Portugal’s talisman looks set for a monster first year back in the Premier League – and a stack of FIFA 22 TOTW items. Even his primary gold card will set you back millions in the season’s early months, given the global obsession with running all-EPL squads in Ultimate Team.
Packing paces 87
shooting 93
passing 82
dribblings 88
with these scores he comes at 3 in the list of FIFA 22 best players
The first card you should target is his ‘Future Stars’ item, which will set you somewhere between 250k-350k coins depending on the platform. With over 100 million coins needed to complete this card, it’s one for the top-tier teams only.
4. Kevin de Bruyne (CM, Manchester City) – 91
De Bruyne joins Ronaldo as the only two Premier League players in the top seven. There are two more immediately outside it: Spurs and England captain Harry Kane (90) and all-action Chelsea midfielder N’golo Kante (also 90). A defending rating of 64 should prevent de Bruyne from going meta, and those who do pick up the Belgian can enjoy attributes of
passing 93
dribbling 88
shooting 86
pace 76
with these scores he comes at 4 in the list of FIFA 22 best players
He may have fallen short in his attempts to win the Premier League for a third consecutive season. Still, it’s difficult to imagine many players in world football are as complete as Manchester City’s Kevin De Bruyne.
5. Kylian Mbappe (ST, Paris St Germain) – 91
Forget all about the pressure of winning the Euros! Kylian Mbappe is destroying the competition in FIFA 22—and we’re not just talking about it on the pitch.
This young man has it all: pace, dribbling, shooting, and passing. Seriously, look at these stats:
paces 97
dribbling 92
shooting 88
passing 80
He’s out here destroying other players—on the pitch and off! with these scores he comes at 5 in the list of FIFA 22 best players
Mbappe might have missed a crucial spot-kick against Switzerland this summer, but do you think that will matter when his card drops on FIFA 22? We’re pretty sure he’ll be right back to be one of the best strikers in Europe.
But don’t take our word for it—get some Mbappe of your own and see just how far this fantastic card can take you!
6. Neymar Jr (LW, Paris St Germain) – 91
You already know that Neymar’s FIFA 22 rating is 91. With that out of the way, let’s get into it:
Once a fixture in the top three, Neymar’s gentle slide down this chart continues – mainly due to the improvement of Lewandowski and club-mate Mbappe rather than any real-life regression on his part. Despite that, its 91 pace rating ensures this will be an expensive card throughout the winter months, further bolstered by scores of
dribbling 94
passing 86
shooting 83
with these scores he comes at 6 in the list of FIFA 22 best players
7. Jan Oblak (GK, Atletico Madrid) – 91
Oblak is FIFA 22’s best-rated keeper, with
handling 92
reflexes 90 r
positioning 90
narrowly holding off the challenge of 90-rated German pair Manuel Neuer and Marc-Andre ter Stegen and Euro 2020 champion Gianluigi Donnarumma (89). Oblak’s spot here means no defenders make the top seven; you have to drop down to 15th to find the game’s best defender. Inevitably it’s Liverpool rock Virgil van Dijk, on 89, one OVR point less than he was awarded in FIFA 21.
Football fans are getting ready for the new FIFA 22 game to hit shelves in October. And, as always, players are looking forward to seeing how the game developers rated their favorite players on the game. he comes at 7 in the list of FIFA 22 best players
