22-year-old Real Madrid winger Vinicius Jr has established himself as one of the most threatening attacking players in European football.
Typical of his Brazilian predecessors, Vini always manages to get spectators off their seats with his dazzling skills and blistering speed.
EA has continued the Ratings reveals this week by confirming the Top 25 highest-rated players from the Spanish La Liga.
Following a breakthrough season last year, Vincius Jr has been handed a GIANT boost and an incredible card in FIFA 23.
Brazilian on FIRE
Vinicius Jr was simply outstanding during the 2021/22 campaign.
The left-winger tallied up 30 goals and assists in 35 La Liga appearances, having netted 17 goals and provided 13 assists.
The Brazilian also registered four goals and seven assists in Real Madrid's UEFA Champions League winning campaign, scoring the decider in the final.
Vini Jr's link-up with world-class number nine, Karim Benzema, propelled the Galacticos to success in both the Spanish La Liga and the Champions League.
When you add a fully fit Eden Hazard to that Real Madrid front line it's a scary prospect for defenders around Europe, to say the least.
The Ultimate FIFA 23 Forward
Given the level at which Vinicius performed last season, football fans were expecting a significant upgrade from his 80 OVR FIFA 22 card, and EA has delivered.
The Brazilian has been handed a GIANT +6 to his overall rating, taking him to an 86 OVR card in FIFA 23.
The winger boasts 95 pace and 90 dribbling, whilst his shooting and passing have been bumped up too.
The Brazilian has also retained his five-star skill moves and four-star weak foot, potentially making him the most complete FIFA 23 attacker in the game.
Vini could be the most overpowered forward in Ultimate Team, so, we expect him to be priced at 200,000-500,000 coins at the start of the game cycle.
