Mbappe Pogba FIFA 21 top Skill players

EA Sports have rolled out the list of players who will feature 5-star skill ratings in FIFA 21 Ultimate Team, so let’s get into it and take a look at who the most skillful players in the new game will be.

Most of the time when looking at a player in FIFA, the first thing people check is their overall stats, but if you really want to build an unstoppable squad, you’ll want players with a high skill rating as well.

Individual skills in FIFA 20 are broken down into tiers, rated from one to five stars, with players graded on their technical abilities and given a rating suitable for their quality.

While most players will be able to do the basic-level skill moves – ones that require one to three stars, only the best of the best in that department can execute the more advanced techniques.

FIFA 21 5 Star Skillers
FIFA 21 will have a wide range of 5-Star players from across the world.

When it comes to top-tier skill moves, there’s actually only a handful of cards that have the necessary five stars and strong enough stats to be usable in the best squads; usually either a stacked card will not have five-star skills or a five-star skiller won’t have the best stats.

That’s why the top-rated skill players like Cristiano Ronaldo, Neymar, Mbappe, Pogba, and others are definitely set to be a precious commodity in FIFA 21 for those of us who have mastered the ins and outs of the game, so let’s take a look at who are the most skilled players in FIFA 21 this year.
