The list of the top 50 highest-rated players on Fifa 14 has been released by EA Sports, and Gareth Bale, who is on the front cover of the game, is only the 17th best in the world.
The number one spot is held once again by Lionel Messi, who is rated as being two points better than Christiano Ronaldo, and four points better than Frank Ribery, who is the third best player on Fifa 14.
There are some surprise inclusions on the list, but it won’t shock Fifa fans to know that Real Madrid, Barcelona and Bayern Munich players make up a significant percentage of the top 50.
Chelsea have four players in the top 50, with benchwarmer Juan Mata being their highest-rated player, and Arsenal have two players in the top 50 with Cazorla and Mesut Ozil both figuring in the list.
The Premier League team with the most Fifa 14 top 50 rated players is Manchester City, with five players on the list. Aguero is the club’s highest-rated player, followed by David Silva, Yaya Toure, Vincent Kompany and Jesus Navas, respectively.
