What is Manager Rating in FIFA 22 Career Mode?

Despite the name, Manager Rating is actually a FIFA 22 Player Career feature. In EA’s words, “Manager Rating is the system that measures your manager’s belief in you as a member of the squad.”

If you have a high Manager Rating, you’re more likely to be selected in the starting 11. However, if you have a low Manager Rating, you might be relegated to the bench, or left off the team sheet entirely.

It gives you a chance to prove your worth on a top-tier squad, even if you aren’t the best in position. As long as the gaffer has faith in you through good practice, you’ll get some starts.

The Manager Rating doesn’t just apply to your club, though. It applies to country too. You’ll need to impress your international manager if you want to make starts at big events such as the Euros or the World Cup.
