FIFA 18: Overall rating of every Indian national team player released

Defenders

Sandesh Jhingan - 61

The standby Indian captain is the highest-rated Blue Tigers defender in FIFA 18. It can be argued that Jhingan is as influential as Anas Edathodika, but FIFA 18 clearly doesn't agree. Jhingan has seen a 1-point upgrade from his FIFA 17 rating.

Jhingan is the best Indian defender

Pritam Kotal - 60

The Delhi Dynamos right-back is the second highest rated Indian defender in FIFA 18. Kotal has been a vital presence for both club and country over the past few years and rightly deserve his rating, although it can be argued that he should get a higher rating.

Keegan Pereira - 59

The former ATK left-back is a reliable customer at the back and he has received an upgrade in FIFA 18. Pereira won the ISL title with ATK in 2016 hence that might have boosted his ranking.

Arnab Mondal - 58

The East Bengal captain and one-time India regular has suffered a dip in his performances and his FIFA 18 card doesn't look that good with a 58 overall.

Narayan Das - 57

A national team regular, Narayan has been a consistent performer for both club and country and he has received a 57-rated card in FIFA 18.

Anas Edathodika - 55

It is surprising to see Anas rated so low by FIFA 18. The Kerala-born defender is a rock at the back and certainly deserves more than the paltry 55-rated card he got this time out.

Fulganco Cardozo - 53

The man from Goa scored on his India debut but has had a rough ride ever since, not coming close to a sustained run of appearances in the national team. He is among the low scorers in FIFA 18.
