EA Sports has released a list of the Top 50 players in FIFA 14 and FIFA 14: Ultimate Team, and has surprisingly ranked Gareth Bale – the world’s most expensive footballer – at No.17 with a rating of 87.
Besides Bale’s placement, the list is pretty much what you’d expect with Messi and Ronaldo taking the top two spots with ratings of 94 and 92, respectively.
Arsenal’s new signing Mesut Özil takes 18th place with an 87 rating.
Here’s how Real Madrid’s new signing compares to Ronaldo.
