FIFA 18 Ratings Navas

Keylor Navas continues to shine for both club and country, helping Real Madrid lift the Champions League and putting Costa Rica on the verge of qualifying for another World Cup.


9. CASEMIRO | Brazil


FIFA 18 Ratings Casemiro

The Brazilian has gone from strength-to-strength since breaking into the Real Madrid first team. He scored in the Champions League final and is one of the best defensive midfielders in the world.


8. KARIM BENZEMA | France


Karim Benzema FIFA 18

Karim Benzema has seen his overall rating go down from last year's 87, but he remains a potent force in front of goal despite a return of just 11 La Liga goals in 2016-17.


7. ISCO | Spain


Isco FIFA 18

The man of the match in the Super Cup victory over Manchester United, Isco continues to improve year after year. His rating has also improved for FIFA 18, climbing two points.


6. MARCELO | Brazil


Marcelo FIFA 18

Another excellent season for Marcelo has seen him become the best left-back in FIFA 18. He has overtaken David Alaba for that honour, and has impressive four-star skill moves and weak foot ratings.


5. GARETH BALE | Wales


FIFA 18 Bale

Having helped Wales at Euro 2016, Gareth Bale was rated 90 last year, but injuries have seen him struggle to find consistency in the Real Madrid team, with his rating also dropping to 89.


4. LUKA MODRIC | Croatia


FIFA 18 Modric

Luka Modric is the model of consistency. Both in real life and in FIFA 18, where he has kept his 89 overall rating from last year's game.


3. TONI KROOS | Germany


Toni Kroos FIFA 18

EA Sports recognise Toni Kroos's ability on the ball, giving him a five-star weak foot as well as the highest passing statistics in FIFA 18.


2. SERGIO RAMOS | Spain


Sergio Ramos FIFA 18

As well as the best attacker and best passer in FIFA 18, Real Madrid also boast the highest rated defender. Sergio Ramos is now higher rated than Jerome Boateng due to the German's injury issues.


1. CRISTIANO RONALDO | Portugal


Cristiano Ronaldo FIFA 18

Cristiano Ronaldo is the new cover star for FIFA 18, and has received the highest rating in the game. His score of 94 is truly deserved as he looks set to win a fifth Ballon d'Or this season.
