Goalkeeper
Jan Oblak – 87

Defenders
Dani Carvajal – 83
Dani Carvajal has been given an upgrade from 81 to 83 in FIFA 17 and deservedly so. His 82 pace and 81 defending are very good attributes for a full-back and considering his age, he will be a popular player in the career mode.
Sergio Ramos – 89
Ramos is the highest rated defender in La Liga and the second highest defender in the game behind Jerome Boateng. He has 87 defending and 83 physicality in the game and that will make it very difficult to beat the player.

Andres Iniesta – 88
Andres Iniesta has been one of the best players in FIFA for a while now but this time around he misses out from the top 10 players and also loses the best midfielder spot to Luka Modric. Nevertheless, a rating of 88 is still wonderful for such a wonderful player.

Luis Suarez – 92
Luis Suarez was arguably the best player in Europe last season and hence his rating of 92 needs no justification. His 90 shot and 87 dribbling will make him a terrific forward to play with
