Arguably the most dedicated and loyal consumers on the planet, football fans regularly purchase products that are dedicated to the sport they love. Fans snap up shirts, they subscribe to streaming packages, and they’re always endorsing official club content online. Fans of the sport play games dedicated to it, too.
For fans of the beautiful game, there are some impressive releases to sample. In recent times, though, FIFA has been the standout product. With the FIFA branding vanishing and EA moving forward with a new football game for audiences to enjoy, fans are gearing up for the release of EA FC 24. While football fans also typically enjoy other leading gaming options like the plethora of releases available to play at a real money online casino in Canada and releases like Call of Duty: Warzone, EA FC 24 is a game fans can’t wait to see.
While details of the FIFA replacement aren’t too clear, a release date of 29th September has been confirmed by EA. Now, though, as football supporters are left wondering just who will replace the like of an ageing Cristiano Ronaldo at the top of the ratings, let’s take a look at some of the likely contenders who will surely be the highest-rated attackers in the game.
Messi could still top the rankings
Although Lionel Messi’s move to Inter Miami will result in him coming against far weaker opposition on a weekly basis, the World Cup winner is still one of the best players in the world. As such, many fans are predicting a 90 overall rating for the miniature maestro. Whether or not this will be enough to top the rankings remains to be seen, particularly with the likes of Kylian Mbappe and Erling Haaland emerging.
Manchester City’s prolific striker is expected to be treated to a well-deserved increase in his rating after scoring 36 goals in the Premier League last season and playing an integral role in Manchester City’s treble triumph. The former Borussia Dortmund goal machine is likely to come up against France and PSG star Kylian Mbappe for the top spot in the rankings. Despite Mbappe’s questionable attitude, his ability is evident. A lack of silverware could hinder his chances of being the undisputed attacking king in EA FC 24, although Mbappe is probably the favourite to top the rankings right now.
The other attackers predicted to be the best
With Lionel Messi, Ering Haaland, and Kylian Mbappe likely to be battling for top spot, there are other stars who are likely to be following closely behind them. Cristiano Ronaldo is one player expected to right up there, although his move to Al Nassr and his evident decline in recent years could contribute to a decline in his overall rating. The same applies to Karim Benzema, although the Al Ittihad striker was playing at the highest level for Real Madrid last season. Polish striker Robert Lewandowski will surely be there or thereabouts, with the Barcelona man predicted to have a 90 overall rating in EA FC 24. Harry Kane is another player who could achieve a similar card, although Mohamed Salah and Neymar will be hoping for a similar rating. Vinicius Junior deserves to be mentioned, too.
The top women’s players
EA FC 24 is expected to put even more effort into its women’s football offering, too. Sam Kerr is likely to be the best player given her exploits with Chelsea, while Ada Hegerberg of Lyon is another player that will surely cause destruction. Barcelona’s Caroline Graham Hansen and Marie Katoto of Paris Saint-Germain Women will also surely be highly rated attackers.
