FIFA 17 is slated to launch this month and while we already have all the ratings for the top players in the world, do we have a clear idea on who the better team between Barcelona and Real Madrid is? While we all know Cristiano Ronaldo trumped Lionel Messi to the top ranked player in the game, what we do not know is how each team fared with the top ten players across them.
In simpler terms, of the top 10 players from both side combined, which team has the better FIFA 17 rating total? Real Madrid or Barcelona? We find out:
#10 Toni Kroos - 88 - Real Madrid
#9 Pepe – 88 – Real Madrid
#8 Andreas Iniesta – 88 – Barcelona
#7 Luka Modric – 89 – Real Madrid
#6 Sergio Ramos – 89 – Real Madrid
#5 Gareth Bale – 90 – Real Madrid
#4 Luis Suarez – 92 – Barcelona
#3 Neymar – 92 – Barcelona
#2 Lionel Messi – 93 – Barcelona
#1 Cristiano Ronaldo – 94 – Real Madrid
So, who has the better overall ratings in the top 10? We calculate:
Real Madrid: 88 (Toni Kroos) + 88 (Pepe) + 89 (Luka Modric) + 89 (Sergio Ramos) + 90 (Gareth Bale) + 94 (Cristiano Ronaldo) = 538 (Total ratings in the top 10)
Barcelona: 88 (Andreas Iniesta) + 92 (Luis Suarez) + 92 (Neymar) + 93 (Lionel Messi) = 365 (Total ratings in the top 10)
