FIFA 18 ratings announced: Dybala, Griezmann among stars to get top billing

FIFA 18's first batch of player ratings is out and guess what, it's more than just the first batch. Apart from the first top hundred players - players in the 81-100 bracket - a few more superstars' ratings have been revealed by EA Sports in this promo video.

Bernardo Silva starts off the top 100 at 100 and the list goes onto Marc-Andre ter Stegen at 81, but that's not it. Stars at the absolute elite of the game like Paulo Dybala, Antoine Griezmann, Robert Lewandowski, Manuel Neuer, Arjen Robben among others have their ratings made public by EA Sports in the teaser video.

Here are the ratings of some more players including Thomas Muller and Arturo Vidal. Check it for yourself.

Robert Lewandowski clocks a cool 91 overall rating card. The Polish centre-forward is expected to be among the top five players in the game behind Cristiano Ronaldo, Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez and Neymar. Giorgio Chiellini with an overall 89 rated card is one of the highest-rated defenders in the game.

Dybala, 88, and Griezmann, 88, are among the players with a top potential graph in the game and so does Alli, 84. Manuel Neuer with a 92 rated overall card will remain the best goalkeeper in FIFA 18, but Lev Yashin's FIFA Ultimate Team Icon card of 94 will better the German's. Hence, Neuer could technically be said to be the second best 'keeper in FIFA 18.

That aside, players like Angel Di Maria, Lucas Moura and Javier Pastore have their cards downgraded from FIFA 17. Adrien Rabiot, who started FIFA 17 with a 78 rated card, has got an upgrade with an 80 rated card this time around. Promising Brazilian defender Marquinhos suffered the 6-1 debacle of PSG at the hands of Barcelona, hence his overall rating seems to have suffered and received an increment of only a point.

Those were just a teaser of what is to come from the best ever FIFA yet. FIFA 18 is set to roll out on 29th September and the day couldn't come soon enough. With more ratings coming our way in the coming days, it couldn't get more exciting for a FIFA fan.
