In FIFA 20, there was a major ratings leak. The values of many players in FUT are reportedly already known. The leak shows: Messi is likely to be better than Cristiano Ronaldo.
Update: Here are the 100 best players in FIFA 20 that EA revealed on September 6.
Where does the ratings leak come from? Recently, several leaks regarding the new ratings in FIFA 20 have been circulating on Reddit, Twitter, and other social media platforms. These are player cards that are supposed to show the values that some players will have in FUT 20 – including Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo.
The origin of the leak is believed to be the FUT trader FUTDonk, who does not reveal his source – allegedly a Spanish journalist or an EA member. However, FUTDonk has a fairly high reputation in the FIFA community and his leaks are considered “official.”
This image shows the stats of Messi, Ronaldo, and Neymar in FIFA 20 according to the leak:
This is how strong Messi will be according to the leak
These are probably Messi’s new values: According to this leak, Messi will receive a rating of a strong 94. This means he is likely to have the best standard card in FUT 20.
In FIFA 19, he already had a rating of 94 on his standard card. We compare the remaining stats:
- Speed: 87 (88 in FUT 19)
- Shooting: 92 (91)
- Passing: 92 (88)
- Dribbling: 96 (96)
- Defense: 39 (32)
- Physical: 66 (61)
Compared to FIFA 19, almost all individual values of Messi have improved, with the exception of speed, which has decreased by one point. The extremely high dribbling value remains constant.
This is how strong Cristiano Ronaldo will be according to the leak
These are probably Ronaldo’s new values: The Portuguese drops by one point in the overall rating to 93 according to the leak. In FIFA 19, he had a 94 on his standard card, just like Messi.
A comparison of the remaining stats to FUT 19:
- Speed: 89 (90 in FUT 19)
- Shooting: 93 (93)
- Passing: 82 (81)
- Dribbling: 88 (90)
- Defense: 35 (35)
- Physical: 81 (79)
While Ronaldo loses points in speed and especially in dribbling, he gains in passing and physical attributes.
This is what’s exciting about the comparison Messi vs. Ronaldo: For years, Messi and Ronaldo have been considered the best footballers in the world – and this is also reflected in FIFA on the virtual pitch. There are annual discussions about which superstar deserves the best ratings. And this time, Messi seems to be ahead.
- In FIFA 19, both had a rating of 94
- In FIFA 18, Ronaldo had a rating of 94 and Messi one of 93
- Also in FIFA 17, Ronaldo was ahead: he had 94 and Messi 93.
- The last time Messi was ahead was in FIFA 16. Here he had 94 and Ronaldo 93.
Ronaldo plays for Piemonte Calcio in FIFA 20, by the way.
More ratings leaks
This graphic with some leaks is also circulating:
Are these the real ratings? Even though these are supposed to be leaked “official” ratings and many fans consider the leaks credible, caution is advised. On one hand, the ratings could still change before the release – as these cards might be taken from an early FIFA 20 build.
On the other hand, official ratings from EA Sports will already be revealed today, on September 6. We expect this around 4 PM or 7 PM. Then we will probably see if some of the higher ratings are confirmed.
Update: Unfortunately, there was nothing from ratings today. EA only revealed the players:
When EA Sports announced the ratings reveal yesterday, many users responded with: “We already know that!” – referring to the upper leaks.
