The FIFA 23 leaks are coming thick and fast and the entire Arsenal squad ratings have been revealed ahead of release.
Check out the leaked Arsenal ratings and how the Gunners could shape up in this year's game below.
Latest - Arsenal Ratings Revealed
Club captain Martin Odegaard leads the Arsenal squad ratings this year alongside midfield axe-man Thomas Partey, with 84 OVR cards being handed to the classy centre-mids.
Talented England youngsters Bukayo Saka and Emile Smith Rowe have been bumped up following outstanding 2021/22 campaigns.
Goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale has been given the largest boost in the squad with a giant +8 OVR.
However, whilst several Arsenal players have been upgraded this year, fans of the North London club will not be happy to see certain player ratings.
79 OVR ratings seem extremely harsh on experienced internationals Granit Xhaka and Oleksandr Zinchenko, whilst Arsenal's new number 14, Eddie Nketiah, has been downgraded following a positive end to the 2021/22 season.

Top Players
Following his £45 million summer move from Manchester to North London, Gabriel Jesus is right up there amongst the highest-rated Arsenal players in FIFA 23.
Thomas Partey (OVR 84)
Much more was expected of Thomas Partey when he joined Arsenal, and it was thought he could fix their issues in midfield by bringing in more defensive cover and combativeness.
He had a bit of a mixed bag last season, seeing his rating drop to 83 OVR, but towards the end of the campaign seemed to settle into a new role, with his 84 OVR restored, and we see him keeping that going into FIFA 23.
Martin Odegaard (OVR 84)
Despite being 23, Martin Odegaard is one of the most experienced players in the Arsenal squad and takes a lot of responsibility for the way the side plays on the pitch.
He is the man most of the attacking play goes through and deservedly sees his rating increase to 84 OVR ahead of the new season.
Gabriel Jesus (OVR 83)
New signing Gabriel Jesus comes straight in as one of Arsenal's best-rated players, with an 83 OVR that could shoot up if his current form continues.
He has looked deadly in and around the box and is thriving on more game time than he was given when at Manchester City.
Transfers
Under Mikel Arteta, Arsenal has looked to have a clear plan of who to sign, with young talents to develop being the main targets.
They were very active over the course of the summer transfer window, with new first-team regulars and squad depth being added and plenty of players heading in the opposite direction too.
New Signings:
- Gabriel Jesus (OVR 83)
- Oleksandr Zinchenko (OVR 79)
- Matt Turner (OVR 77)
- Fabio Vieira (OVR 77)
- Marquinhos (OVR 73)
Permanent Departures:
- Alexandre Lacazette (OVR 82)
- Matteo Guendouzi (OVR 80)
- Bernd Leno (OVR 81)
- Lucas Torreira (OVR 79)
- Hector Bellerin (OVR 79)
- Konstantinos Mavropanos (OVR 76)
Upgrades
Plenty of Arsenal's young players showed the fans that the future of the club should be exciting, and we've already mentioned that Bukayo Saka, Emile Smith Rowe and Martin Odegaard are in line to receive upgrades.
Saka will be bumped up by two overall points, taking him to an 82 OVR, whilst his fellow academy graduate Smith Rowe will be given a +4 boost to 80 OVR.
Aaron Ramsdale turned out to be a brilliant signing for the club, starting the FIFA 22 cycle as a 74 OVR and now boosted to an 82 OVR in FIFA 23.
Centre-back pairing Gabriel (OVR 81) and Ben White (OVR 79) have both been upgraded this year, though we still feel their ratings are slightly low.
Downgrades
Most of the Arsenal team has played to the best of their abilities, with very few underperforming so much that a downgrade is deserved.
Despite managing to net five Premier League goals in the last seven matches of the season, 23-year-old Eddie Nketiah will reportedly be downgraded in FIFA 23.
The new Arsenal number 14 has already shown just how good he is this season, having come on and made a difference in the Gunner's 2-1 win over Fulham at the Emirates, so we feel this downgrade is a little disrespectful.
