The millions of gamers awaiting the release of the highly anticipated FIFA 16 will have a pretty good idea of how EA Sports rated players in their latest offering if the game’s alpha version is anything to go by, according to website ufut16.

The post reveals how the game’s developer rated players from La Liga archrivals Barcelona and Real Madrid respectively.

However, it should be noted that this is only the Alpha version. so the ratings may almost certainly be subject to change.

The ratings are as follows:

Real Madrid

Casillas (84), Carjaval (80), Ramos (87), Pepe (83), Marcelo (82), Kroos (87), Modric (88), Bale (87), James (87), Ronaldo (93), Benzema (86), Isco (84), Lucas Silva (75), Arbeloa (79), Illarra (78), Jesé (75), Varane (82), Coentrao (79), Keylor (78)

Barcelona

Bravo (84), Alves (83), Piqué (87), Mascherano (83), Alba (82), Rakitic (83), Busquets (86), Iniesta (90), Messi (94), Suarez (89), Neymar (88), Xavi (87), Ter Stegen (82)

Two of the best players in the world, Ronaldo and Messi, differ just an inch apart in ratings, much like their rivalry as we know it in real life.

FIFA 16 is set for an initial September 22 release date and will come packed with dozens of new features including the addition of women’s national teams.
