The top of EA FC 27‘s ratings is a two-man summit: Kylian Mbappe and Erling Haaland lead the game at 91, with Mbappe doubling as the Ultimate Edition cover star, his first cover since FIFA 23. Below them sits a crowded 90 club and the year’s headline riser. Here’s the verified top tier, men’s and women’s, from EA’s official reveal.
The Summit: 91 Overall
- Kylian Mbappe (91): cover star and co-king
- Erling Haaland (91)
The 90 Club
Eight players hold 90:
- Rodri
- Ousmane Dembele
- Vitinha
- Harry Kane
- Michael Olise, the headline riser at +4, the biggest jump in the top tier
- Pedri
- Lamine Yamal, who at 19 is also the game’s top-rated under-21 player (see our wonderkids guide)
- Thibaut Courtois and Jude Bellingham round out the tier
The 89 Tier
Notables at 89 include Lionel Messi (the era handover is now official arithmetic), Bruno Fernandes, Gianluigi Donnarumma, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, and Arsenal’s Gabriel.
The Women’s Top Tier
- Alexia Putellas: 91, matching the men’s summit
- Aitana Bonmati and Khadija Shaw: 90
- Mariona Caldentey: 89
- Headline risers: Yui Hasegawa +3 and England’s Hannah Hampton +3
What the Ratings Mean This Year
Two systems make FC 27’s numbers less static than any previous year:
- In Career Mode, ratings breathe: Dynamic OVR moves with form, morale, and fitness, so a 90 in September isn’t a 90 in a relegation fight (our Dynamic Potential guide covers the system).
- In Ultimate Team, base ICONs now start at 88 to separate tiers above the new Hall of FUT class, so the live-card economy reads differently this year too.
