FIFA 21 player ratings are bound to be one of the most important pieces of news fans get in the buildup to EA SPORTS’ next installment of their flagship football series, and we’ve got predictions for the Premier League, Serie A, Bundesliga, and more. 

The last few months have been a rollercoaster for any football fan, with the current global situation forcing many leagues to not just close their doors for live matches, but suspend competitions entirely until further notice. While some, like the English and Germany top divisions, have worked towards project restarts, others have called it a day.

That being said, we were almost done with the 2019/20 season when this all kicked off, and there’s certainly enough in terms of performances, big moments, goals, assists and clean sheets to go off when it comes to predicting top-rated pros for next year’s title.

Here, we have collected predictions from the Dexerto team for the top five divisions in Europe, including those of England, Italy, Spain, France, and Germany. Throughout the course of this article you will be able to see how we expect player ratings to turn out for the best players in those respective leagues, with a list of top 10 selections for each.

So, starting with the Premier League, let’s take a look through each of those divisions and who – pending, of course with transfers – we expect to see EA SPORTS put at the top of the tree next time around.

Cristiano Ronaldo is expected to be the league’s top-rated player. Hopefully, Juventus will have their kits back in FIFA 21.

It shouldn’t be a surprise to see who we’ve picked at the summit of Serie A player ratings this year, because it’s the same as last year. Cristiano Ronaldo was astonishing for Juventus during the season, scoring 21 times before the competition was suspended. If it restarts, that tally would more than certainly increase, too.
