Barca were willing to pay huge money for Coutinho but that has not persuaded EA to push his FIFA 17 rating of 86 overall up any further.

Manchester City talisman Silva is unchanged at 87 overall and gets increases in his defending and physical ratings having adapted well to a central-midfield role.


42. GERARD PIQUE | Barcelona

Barca centre-back Pique was boosted up from 86 overall to 87 on FIFA 17 and keeps that rating for this year's game.

Marek Hamsik FIFA 18

Just missing out on the top 40, Hamsik's brilliant performances for Napoli see him boosted two points from 85 to 87 overall. He also has a perfect 'weak foot' score.
