FIFA 23 is set to be the biggest season of Ultimate Team to date as players strive to unite the greatest players in world football into a single squad. Who will play the best players in this year's game? Here are our FIFA 23 rating predictions for the top 100.
FIFA 23, the final game in the series to have the FIFA branding on the box, is getting closer to being released. It's shaping up to be the greatest year to date, with many new Icons and FUT Heroes coming to the game.
In the run-up to any FIFA release, the player ratings are one of the most talked-about topics as the community hotly debates who will be the best stars in the game and what their stats should be.
This year is no exception, so although we're still a long way off the whole release, we've put together our top 100 FIFA 23 ratings.
When will the FIFA 23 ratings be revealed?
EA haven't yet confirmed when the FIFA 23 ratings will be released, but our money would be available sometime in September 2022.
The best 22 players in FIFA 22 have dropped on September 13 ahead of the October 1 release date in previous years.
Please be sure to update this section as soon as more information is available.

Lionel Messi, Kylian Mbappe, and Robert Lewandowski will have a three-way tie at the top of the rankings. Messi had a tense start to life in France, but he remains a remarkable player on his day.
While Lewandowski had a fine season, he should be recognized among the games' top performers.
These are just estimates until EA releases the final ratings. We'll be updating this page regularly, so be sure to check back for the latest information.
In the meantime, take a look at everything we know about how to get FIFA 23 early with EA Play, including a possibility of a leak of the top-50 players.
