The football gaming community was buzzing today after FUT POLICE LEAKS revealed the FC 26 Beta ratings for two of the sport’s greatest legends. According to the leak, Cristiano Ronaldo has been rated 85, while Lionel Messi earns an 87 overall rating in the test version of EA Sports’ upcoming game.

🚨 Leaked FC 26 Beta Ratings (via FUT POLICE LEAKS):

  • Lionel Messi: 87
  • Cristiano Ronaldo: 85
  • Kylian Mbappé: 90

Notably, Mbappé leads all players at 90, with no one hitting a 91 rating in the beta, signaling a possible ratings compression by EA.

🔍 Did EA Get It Right?

Lionel Messi – 87

Messi may be playing in MLS with Inter Miami, but he continues to impress both domestically and internationally. He played a key role in Argentina’s recent Copa América campaign and remains highly influential on the pitch. While no longer at the 90+ mark of his prime, an 87 rating keeps him in elite company.

Cristiano Ronaldo – 85

Ronaldo’s drop to 85 has stirred debate. While playing in the Saudi Pro League, he remains a high-level goal scorer and a key figure for Portugal. Some fans argue he should be rated higher based on output alone, though EA may be factoring in age and league quality.

⚠️ Reminder: These Are Beta Ratings

These ratings are from the FC 26 Beta, meaning they are not final. EA often makes adjustments before the full game releases based on feedback, player form, and balance updates.

❓ FAQ: FC 26 Beta Ratings

Are these the final ratings for Messi and Ronaldo?

No. These are Beta ratings, which are subject to change before the final release of the game.

Why is Ronaldo rated lower than Messi?

EA likely considered factors like league competitiveness, team performance, and current form. Ronaldo’s move to the Saudi Pro League may have affected his overall rating.

Has EA confirmed these ratings?

No official confirmation from EA yet. The leak comes from FUT POLICE LEAKS, a source known for reliable early information, but it is not endorsed by EA Sports.

Is Mbappé the highest-rated player?

In the Beta, yes. He has a 90 rating, and no player has received a 91 rating so far.

When will final ratings be released?

Final ratings are usually revealed in the weeks leading up to the full game’s launch. Expect official announcements closer to that date.

🗣️ Fan Opinions Divided

As always with Messi and Ronaldo, fan reactions are split. Some believe Messi deserves the higher rating due to his continued influence, while others argue Ronaldo’s stats should speak louder than league strength. Either way, the debate is far from over.

More updates are expected as we approach the full launch of EA SPORTS FC 26.
