Fans from all around the world are super hyped for the drop of EA FC 24! The ratings are officially out and we have loads of content for you to feast your eyes upon.
Right now, we've got a piece about the Top 100 players in FC 24. We even have content such as the best Brazilian players and the best Spanish players in the game.
Arsenal fans will not be happy with their player ratings, and although many players have received healthy upgrades, they will feel it is not enough for the season they had last campaign.
Arsenal in EA FC 24
Arsenal were so close to having their hands on the Premier League title but missed out due to Manchester City being way too consistent and strong. Nonetheless, Arsenal still had an amazing season finishing in second place, a position that Arsenal fans would've dreamt of before that season started.
And EA has rewarded them with some noticeable upgrades, so let's take a look.
Martin Odegaard (87 OVR)
Arsenal captain Martin Odegaard receives a +3 upgrade a well-deserved upgrade that is being reciprocated on social media as he deserves to be amongst the best midfielders in the world!
Bukayo Saka (86 OVR)
Star boy Saka also receives a large upgrade with a +4, performing well for club and country, Saka is amongst the best wingers in the Premier League and in the world.
Declan Rice (85 OVR)
Newly transferred star Declan Rice was only given a +1 upgrade from FIFA 23. He did have a disappointing season with West Ham in the league however, their UEFA Conference League performances justify Rice's upgrade!
Thomas Partey (85 OVR)
A +1 upgrade for Thomas Partey in EA FC 24. Partey was one of Arsenal's top performers in the 2022/23 season playing in 33 matches out of 38, he was vital to Arsenal's success.
He had his best-ever season with Arsenal and this has been rewarded through an upgraded rating.
Gabriel (84 OVR)
There are three Gabriel's in the Arsenal squad with an 84 rating, and Magalhaes has received a +4 upgrade at CB. The Brazilian has 70 PAC, 85 DEF, and 82 PHY, making him a solid defender for the Premier League.
Gabriel Jesus (84 OVR)
A +1 upgrade for Gabriel Jesus after a successful season with Arsenal, there could be debates on whether Jesus should have had a +2 upgrade with 17 goal contributions in the league alone, Jesus was crucial to Arsenal's build-up play and attacking threat.
Gabriel Martinelli (84 OVR)
Martinelli had his best ever season at Arsenal scoring 15 Premier League goals for the club. He has been given a great +6 rating by EA Sports which seems fair for his performances last season.
Aaron Ramsdale (84 OVR)
The Arsenal keeper kept 14 clean sheets in the league and was a crucial vocal point to help motivate his team all season. He gets a deserved +2 upgrade to 84 rated. EA Sports has done well with this one! on long.
William Saliba (83 OVR)
A great +3 upgrade was given to Arsenal's rock in the back, Saliba is a fantastic defender and he now looks OP in EA FC 24!
Jorginho (83 OVR)
A -2 downgrade downgrade for Jorginho also seems harsh although he did not play too many games for Arsenal when he joined in January from Chelsea, his average rating was still 7.2. He performed at a high enough level to maintain an 85 rated or possibly a -1 downgrade to 84 could be justified.
Kai Havertz (82 OVR)
Chelsea flop Kai Havertz has been handed a big downgrade from 84 rated to 82 rated. This could be justified, however, Havertz has all the talent to do well now he has transferred to Arsenal so we can predict his rating will go back up in a potential winter upgrade!
Here's a list of the rest of the Arsenal squad:
- Leandro Trossard - 81 OVR
- Benjamin White - 80 OVR
- David Raya - 80 OVR
- Oleksandr Zinchenko - 80 OVR
- Jurrien Timber - 79 OVR
- Takehiro Tomiyasu - 78 OVR
- Emile Smith-Rowe - 78 OVR
- Fabio Vieira - 77 OVR
- Rob Holding - 76 OVR
- Mohamed Elneny - 75 OVR
- Eddie Nketiah - 75 OVR
- Jakub Kiwior - 74 OVR
- Reiss Nelson - 74 OVR
- Cedric - 73 OVR
- Arthur Okonkwo - 66 OVR
- Reuell Walters - 61 OVR
- Amario Cozier-Duberry - 59 OVR
It's not enough
All these upgrades are good to see, but they don't go nearly far enough. Saka, Odegaard, and Saliba in particular are some of the best players in the Premier League and the world. William Saliba was a revelation last season and has continued that form.
Debates are happening across fandom if he is the best centre back in the world or not, but you wouldn't know that with his 83 OVR. Likewise, Saka has been one of the most in-form and feared attackers in the world but his 86 doesn't reflect that.
EA's ratings have never been a completely fair reflection of player performance, just look at Mo Salah's rating drop this year, but Arsenal fans will rightfully feel aggrieved about the ratings this year.
