Messi, Mbappe, Neymar, Ramos: FIFA 23 highest-rated Ligue 1 players predicted

An article by Dexerto has revealed an in-depth prediction of Ligue 1’s best player ratings for the upcoming edition of FIFA.

The article gives the few best players at each club a predicted rating, as well as making an overall predicted ranking of the top 10 rated players in Ligue 1 on FIFA 23.

Unsurprisingly, Paris Saint-Germain dominate the top 10 list, with the top nine all playing for the Parisian outfit.

The 10th-placed exception comes in the form of AS Monaco’s Wissam Ben Yedder, who is predicted to have a +1 boost to his rating following last season’s incredible 25-goal performance, giving the striker an impressive rating of 85 overall.

It is not surprising to see PSG dominate the predicted ranking, having regained their title from LOSC Lille last season. However, it was not quite the season that was potentially expected at Le Parc des Princes, with the big name arrivals of Lionel Messi, Sergio Ramos, Georginio Wijnaldum, and Gianluigi Donnarumma not quite living up to the billing.

Ramos and Donnarumma’s poor debut seasons have been reflected with a predicted downgrade in their ratings by Dexerto, receiving a lowered 87 and 88 overall respectively. Still not bad ratings at all considering they’ve been downgraded!

Dexerto mentioned in their article that record seven-time Ballon d’Or winner Lionel Messi may well also receive a downgrade following a difficult debut season away from Barcelona, and having turned 35 years old this summer.

However, the often touted ‘GOAT’ remains at the top of Dexerto’s rankings, with an expected huge 93 overall rating in the new FIFA.

Messi is joined in second and third place by his attacking colleagues Kylian Mbappe, with a 92 overall rating, and Neymar Jr, with a 91 overall rating.
