As mentioned previously, Lamine Yamal, Pau Cubarsi, and Fermin Lopez were the breakout stars from last season. So, it wouldn't be surprising if they were to receive significant upgrades. To add to that, Pedri and Raphina dropped masterclass performances throughout the year. So, we can expect a significant upgrade to their EA FC 26 player ratings.

While the ratings of most Barca players are expected to receive an upgrade or remain unchanged, there are a few that could be downgraded. Wojciech Szczesny and Marc-Andre ter Stegen were a significant part of Barcelona’s dominant run, but their growing age could be the reason for their downgrade.

The biggest departure for the Blugranas was Inigo Martinez, who would have received a significant upgrade in FC 26 for his rock-solid performance last year. Ansu Fati, Pablo Torre, and Alex Valle are some other departures.

There are new La Masia graduates like Dro Fernandez, Jofre Torrents, Toni Fernandez, and Guille Fernandez. The EA FC 26 player ratings for these young players might not be high. So, they won't be useful in Ultimate Team, but might shine in Career Mode due to their possible high potentials.

Fans should remember that these EA FC 26 player ratings for the Barcelona players are only predictions based on their past ratings and their performances during the last season. So, they should take the ratings with a grain of salt and wait for EA Sports to officially release ratings for the upcoming FC title.
