In fact, there was a case where Robert Lewandowski took first place in FIFA 22. But the Polish Assassin should take second place. Below we take a closer look at the top seven before looking at the full FIFA 22 rating list for male and female players like Arsenal’s Vivianne Miedema.

Returning to Manchester after scoring two goals against Norwich City, Portugal’s Talisman endured a monster in his first year in the Premier League, resulting in a pile of FIFA 22 items. Even his basic gold card would give him millions of dollars back, given his worldwide obsession with managing the EPL team exclusively in Ultimate Team. With 87 paces, 93 shots, 82 passes, and 88 dribbles, he oozes class.

4. Kevin De Bruyne (CM, Manchester City) – 91

The Bruyne joins Ronaldo as the only Premier League player in the top seven, though next to two other players – Tottenham and England captain Harry Kane, 90, and Chelsea midfielder N’Golo Kante (also 90) next door. did. A defensive rating of 64 should make sure de Bruyne doesn’t become a meta, and those who choose Belgium will enjoy the traits of 93 passes, 88 dribbles, 86 shots and 76 pace.

5. Kylian Mbappe (ST, Paris Saint-Germain) – 91

Despite the disappointing EURO 2020 season when Mbappe missed a decisive penalty against Switzerland, football’s most famous prodigy makes its first appearance in the Top 5. With 97 paces, 92 dribbles, 88 shots, and 80 passes, it doesn’t matter if the Frenchman or not is the one player lucky enough to find this card in FIFA 22. It’s sure to last throughout the meta for the upcoming season.

6. Neymar Jr. (LW, Paris Saint-Germain) – 91 years old

Once in the top three, Neymar continues to smooth this ranking. This is mainly due to improvements in Lewandowski and his clubmate Mbappe. Still, the 91-paced rating guarantees it will be an expensive card for the winter, further reinforced with 94 dribbles, 86 passes and 83 shooting points. In short, Brazilian.

7. Jan Oblak (TG, Atletico Madrid) – 91 years old

With 92 handling, 90 reflexes and 90 positioning, Oblak is FIFA 22’s top-rated goalkeeper. German duo Manuel Neuer and Marc-André Ter Stegen and Euro 2020 champion Gianluigi Donnarumma (89) are catching up to the challenge of the 90th grade German duo. Oblak’s position here means that there is no defender in the top seven. To find the best defender in the game, he has to go all the way down to 15th. Inevitably, Liverpool rocker Virgil van Dijk, 89, is one point lower than his OVR score in FIFA 21.

FIFA 22 ratings guide to the best male and female players

The FIFA 22 ratings list sees Lionel Messi proclaimed the world’s best player, once again. (Simmer down, Ronaldo fans: it’s just a videogame.) Indeed, there’s an argument to be made for Robert Lewandowski at top spot in FIFA 22. However, the Polish assassin has to make do with second place. Below we profile the top seven in detail, before running down the full FIFA 22 ratings list for both male and female players, such as Arsenal’s Vivianne Miedema.
FIFA 22 best men’s players
1. Lionel Messi (RW, Paris St Germain) – 93

(Image credit: EA)
Fresh from a move from Barcelona to Paris which apparently netted him a £25 million signing-on fee, PSG’s new number 30 is looking to score a fifth Champions league winners medal during the upcoming campaign – and a sixth Ballon d’Or. Messi’s base gold card in FIFA 22 features 85 pace, 92 shooting, 91 passing and 95 dribbling, making this the third year running that he’s topped the digitised football charts.
2. Robert Lewandowski (ST, FC Bayern) – 92

(Image credit: EA)
Third on the FIFA 21 ratings list, Lewa leapfrogs Cristiano Ronaldo after yet another absurdly effective campaign in both the Bundesliga and Champions League. As of FIFA 22’s release date he’d netted 209 times in 223 games for Bayern, an astonishing 48 of those coming last season across just 40 matches. His new card boasts 92 shooting, 86 dribbling, and 82 physicality. Good luck trying to defend him in Division Rivals.
3. Cristiano Ronaldo (ST, Manchester United) – 91

(Image credit: EA)
After marking his return to Manchester with a two-goal salvo against Norwich City, Portugal’s talisman enjoyed a monster first year back in the Premier League – and a stack of FIFA 22 items as a result. Even his basic gold card sets you back millions, given the global obsession with running all-EPL squads in Ultimate Team. Packing 87 pace, 93 shooting, 82 passing and 88 dribbling, it oozes class.
4. Kevin de Bruyne (CM, Manchester City) – 91

(Image credit: EA)
de Bruyne joins Ronaldo as the only two Premier League players in the top seven, although 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 going meta, and those who do pick up the Belgian can enjoy attributes of 93 passing, 88 dribbling, 86 shooting, and 76 pace.
5. Kylian Mbappe (ST, Paris St Germain) – 91

(Image credit: EA)
A first appearance in the top five for football’s most famed wonderkid, despite a disappointing Euro 2020 campaign in which Mbappe missed the decisive spot kick against Switzerland. Not that a single gamer, French or otherwise, lucky enough to unearth this card in FIFA 22 will care: with 97 pace, 92 dribbling, 88 shooting and 80 passing it’s assured to remain meta for the entirety of the upcoming season.
6. Neymar Jr (LW, Paris St Germain) – 91

(Image credit: EA)
Once a fixture in the top three, Neymar’s gentle slide down this chart continues – largely due to the improvement of Lewandowski and club-mate Mbappe, rather than any real-life regression on his own part. Despite that, its 91 pace rating ensures this will be an expensive card throughout the winter months, further bolstered by scores of 94 dribbling, 86 passing, and 83 shooting. In a word: Brazilliant.
7. Jan Oblak (GK, Atletico Madrid) – 91

(Image credit: EA)
Oblak is FIFA 22’s best-rated keeper, with 92 handling, 90 reflexes, and 90 positioning – 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.
