The FC 24 MLS ratings are of particular interest this year for one reason – Lionel Messi. Arguably the greatest player of all time has joined David Beckham’s Inter Miami. But for the first time in nearly two decades, he will not be the best player in FC 24.

The rating reveal has taken place as part of ratings week ahead of the EA Sports FC release date. With the MLS and Saudi Pro League both making significant acquisitions, plus the addition of female players, there will be more squad-building options than ever before in FC 24 Ultimate Team.

Make sure you get your Ultimate Team squad and tactics sorted as soon as possible in the new game by using the FC 24 Web App and Companion App.

Inter Miami’s attempt to recreate the great Barcelona team of a decade ago has shaken up the EA Sports FC 24 ratings stateside. It was never in doubt that Lionel Messi would come out as number one, and his teammates Sergio Busquets and Jordi Alba to come in second and third.

Rumours of Andres Iniesta and Luis Suarez joining didn’t materialise. However, it would have been interesting to see how they ranked! Last year’s top MLS players Lorenzo Insigne and Giorgio Chiellini are once again in the mix. Italian veteran Chiellini has seen a downgrade in FC 24. MLS legend Carlos Vela is a permanent fixture in the MLS top 10.

Lionel Messi – 90 overall

After producing 32 goals involvements in 32 Ligue 1 matches last season, Lionel Messi remains one of the game’s top-rated players. The switch to the MLS has seen his reign at the top of the ratings end, with a downgrade confirmed. The Argentine will still be among the very best passers and best dribblers in FC 24.

Jordi Alba – 83 overall

After starting just 14 LaLiga games last season, Jordi Alba has called time on his spell at Barcelona. Once one of the game’s best left-backs, Alba’s pace is still reasonable in FC 24, though he has failed to maintain his high overall.

Sergio Busquets – 83 overall

Spanish midfielder Sergio Busquets may be one of the most underappreciated players of all time. At 35 years old, Busquets may not possess the raw athleticism of the modern defensive midfielder. Yet, his defending and technical attributes are still be among the best in FC 24.

Lorenzo Insigne – 81 overall

Lorenzo Insigne’s decline throughout FIFA 23 was steady. Having started with an 84 overall, the Italian winger finished the game with an 82 overall. Still one of the league’s top players, Insigne’s new 81 overall sees him in the top five players in the MLS in FC 24.

Carlos Vela – 80 overall

Mexican star Carlos Vela is something of an MLS legend. A stalwart at the top of the MLS ratings, Vela’s goal record speaks for itself. The influx of former Barcelona stars has seen him shift down the pecking order, but he is still competing at the top table.

FC 24 NWSL ratings

With women included in FC 24 Ultimate Team, the FC 24 WSL ratings will also be of interest, helping you link some of the best players in the game! The National Women’s Soccer League isn’t thought of as the retirement home league, as with the men’s game, supplying some of the greatest female pros around.

The nature of the MLS means that the top players are often coming to the end of their careers. This is not ideal for FC 24 Career Mode managers looking for a future star, but there are some hidden gems to be found in the MLS. Argentine pair Thiago Almada and Alan Velasco both have high ceilings in the game and will be able to make use of most of the new FC 24 skill moves shown off the in Gameplay Deep Dive.

When will the FC 24 MLS ratings be released?

The top 24 FC 24 MLS ratings will be released on September 14. The full database will be revealed on September 15.
