Release Date
As confirmed during the reveal trailer, FIFA 23 will be fully released on Friday, 30 September.
Some will be able to access the game sooner than that via a Beta or possible Demo, then the Web App and Early Access.
Early access for pre-orders begins on Tuesday, 27 September for those who buy the Ultimate Edition of the game.
The 10-hour EA Play trial gives players a limited number of hours of gaming too and will begin at the same time as pre-order early access.
Manuel Neuer (OVR 90)
It's no surprise to see Manuel Neuer at the top of the ratings, still going strong at 35 years old.
He will once again be one of the top goalkeepers in the game, sitting on an impressive 90 OVR rating.
Sadio Mane (OVR 89)
Sadio Mane has switched up the Red of Liverpool for that of Bayern Munich after being snapped up for a bargain price.
He enjoyed another excellent season at club and national level, although that wasn't enough to get upgraded and become part of the 90s club.
Joshua Kimmich (OVR 89)
The German has had another fantastic season at Bayern, but again, it won't be enough to see him get a 90 OVR.
Instead, he hovers just below that elite level for another title, with an 89 OVR.
Leon Goretzka (OVR 87)
Leon Goretzka has become a beast of a player and will be an early FUT favourite.
He saw an increase during the FIFA 22 rating update to 88 OVR, although he won't take that into FIFA 23 and will get an 87 OVR once again.
Thomas Muller (OVR 87)
Yet another Bayern player, Thomas Muller has always been a hard one to predict a rating for, as his game stats don't match how good he is in real life.
Another 87 OVR is said to be on the way, with a slight increase to his pace too!
Christopher Nkunku (OVR 86)
One of the in-form players of the season, Christopher Nkunku was on fire last campaign and has seen his rating increase from an 81 OVR to an 86 OVR.
If he can keep performing at the same level this season that could increase more, although if he doesn't EA could act swiftly to reduce it.
Kevin Trapp (OVR 86)
Kevin Trapp has seen a massive increase to his rating in FIFA 23, with +4 coming to his overall, now sitting on a tasty 86 OVR.
The German is now one of the best keepers around and won't be so cheap to pick up in Ultimate Team.
Kingsley Coman (OVR 86)
A slight downgrade came for Kingsley Coman during the FIFA 22 cycle, with his rating going from 86 OVR to 85 OVR, however, he is set to maintain his 86 OVR at the start of FIFA 23.
Coman will have plenty of pace and excellent dribbling attributes to make him a threat in every game mode.
Matthijs de Ligt (OVR 85)
22-year-old Matthijs de Ligt joined Bayern Munich from Juventus back in July for a deal worth £68m including add-ons.
The Dutch centre-back is keeps his 85 OVR from FIFA 22 and will be a juggernaut of a CB.
Marco Reus (OVR 85)
The Borussia Dortmund captain had a fine season, scoring eight and assisting 15 in 28 league matches.
There was no danger of his 85 OVR rating being hit, and he goes into FIFA 23 as a brilliant CAM once again.
