Which Players Received the Biggest Upgrades?

A couple of FIFA 23 players stand out when it comes to their ratings because of how big of a jump they made. This usually happens to players that are in their breakout seasons where they perform incredibly well across numerous competitions and matches.

This is also beneficial to FIFA’s success as an esports game. Take for example Erling Haaland, who now has millions of fans around the world. Many of the players that take part in FIFA 23 esports tournaments are also fans, and because his in-game rating is so high, they’ll definitely put him in their squads.

These are the players that have received the biggest rating upgrades compared to their FIFA 22 ratings:

Vinicius Jr.

Vinicius Jr. popped off in 2022 with some incredible performances in La Liga. His track record of 4 goals and 2 assists, alongside providing consistent pressure against Real Madrid’s opponent have earned him a +6 increase of his rating compared to 2022. Perfectly justifiable, and we’ll most likely see Vini Jr. picked up in esports events, most likely in the first few live streams.

Christopher Nkunku

Christopher Nkunku is the proud owner of the second biggest ranking upgrade compared to 2022 – an impressive +5. This player has been the key to RB Leipzig’s powerful and successful attack. Considering he’s just 24, there’s definitely room for even more growth in the coming years, but for now, he’s a worthwhile asset in any FIFA 23 team.

Antonio Rudiger

Real Madrid’s centre-back has already proven himself against even the toughest opponents. Antonio Rudiger is the pillar that holds the team’s defense together and is an invaluable part of the squad. EA has given Rudiger a +4 increase to his overall rating – the third highest rating increase compared to 2022.

Who Should Have Had Higher FIFA 23 Ratings?

This section is subjective and is just a representation of our personal opinion. Regardless of whether you agree with our statements here, at the end of the day, EA won’t change the ratings based on what we say, so it’s all just good fun!

Vinicius Jr.

Arguably one of the biggest travesties of the new FIFA is having Vini Jr. as the 44th best player in the game, at least according to the community. Well, we’re inclined to agree. Vini Jr. has been tremendous for Real Madrid, and although he’s not yet at absolute star level, he’s slowly getting there.

It can be argued that EA was generous with the +6 rating increase (from 80 to 86) but it’s not a good look when you put Trent Alexander-Arnold above him. Mind you, TAA is an excellent player in his own right, but he has fallen into a slump and has been making more mistakes than before. An 87 rating would be the most accurate for Vini Jr. in our opinion.

Neymar Jr.

Neymar Jr. has been a top 5 player in FIFA 22 but EA has decided that his injuries and worsened performance warranted a -2 reduction in his rating. However, Neymar has shown he’s up to the task in recent matches and has finally linked up with Lionel Messi to provide Kylian Mbappe with nigh unlimited goal-scoring opportunities.

There is a possibility his rating is adjusted based on these facts in a ‘Day-1 patch’ to at least a 90. For example, Cristiano Ronaldo has a rating of 90 but he’s clearly been less influential in his matches for Manchester United. Yet he is above Neymar Jr. in the standings. It’s worth noting that we’re talking about fine margins here but overall, we think Neymar deserves a bit more.

Erling Haaland

When many expected Erling Haaland to be in the top 10 FIFA 23 players based on rankings, it turns out that he’s not even in the top 20. Yes, that’s right – Erling Haaland (who already scored 11 goals and got 1 assist) is not in the top 20.

This is surprising because his overall rating hasn’t been changed compared to FIFA 22 when he’s clearly continuing his epic run of form from Borussia Dortmund. Haaland has a rating of 88 which seems pretty low for such a strong and skillful player. In our humble opinion, Haaland should at least have a rating of 89 and ideally a 90.

Summary

As always, there is a bit of controversy surrounding the player ratings of a new FIFA game. Certain players seem undervalued while others are too high up. Whatever your opinion may be, we think that EA did a good job overall, bar a few grievances.

So, that’s the story of the FIFA 23 player ratings. Keep in mind that there’s always a possibility of EA stepping in and buffing/nerfing certain players and their ratings in future patches, so definitely keep an eye out for that!
