The 91 and 90 Rated Elite

Mohamed Salah – 91 RW (Liverpool)
Salah is now the league’s top-rated player. With 91 pace, 89 shooting, and explosive dribbling, he is one of the most dangerous attacking cards in Ultimate Team. His jump to the top reflects his continued dominance for Liverpool and the new balance of power in the league.
Erling Haaland – 90 ST (Manchester City)
Haaland stays at 90 and remains Manchester City’s ultimate weapon. His combination of finishing, pace, and power makes him one of the hardest strikers to stop.
Rodri – 90 CDM (Manchester City)
Rodri is among the rare defensive midfielders to hit 90 overall. His outstanding defensive awareness, passing, and physical presence make him the Premier League’s standout holding midfielder.
Virgil van Dijk – 90 CB (Liverpool)
Van Dijk continues to be the standard-setter for defenders. At 90 overall, he offers unmatched strength and aerial power, making him a nightmare for attackers.
Comparing FC 26 to FC 25
In FC 25, Manchester City filled the list with stars like Kevin De Bruyne (90), Phil Foden (88), Rúben Dias (88), Ederson (88), and Bernardo Silva (88) alongside Haaland and Rodri.
Now in FC 26:
- De Bruyne has left the Premier League, joining Napoli.
- Foden and Rúben Dias have been downgraded.
- Ederson and Bernardo Silva no longer make the cut.
- City is left with just Haaland and Rodri inside the top 15.
Meanwhile, Liverpool surges forward. With Salah, Van Dijk, Alisson, Wirtz, Mac Allister, and Isak, they have six players in the top 15. Arsenal isn’t far behind, boasting Gabriel, Saka, Ødegaard, Rice, and Gyökeres. Chelsea contributes two with Caicedo and Gyökeres’ rivalries from the Portuguese league now resurfacing in the Premier League.
