the best 100 players and the strongest national team at the World Cup

EA Sports presents the top 100 of the best players involved in the World Cup, with a parenthesis dedicated to the under 21s and the national teams, on FIFA 23.

One step away from the start of the World Cup, EA Sports has shared the ranking of the best 100 players who will participate. The ranking obviously refers to the in-game ratings on FIFA 23, which has just been updated with a World Cup-themed expansion. The game had already ruled on who will win it, even if, spoiler, the national team expressed by that simulation is not the strongest in the game.

FIFA 23 World Cup Top 100 —

EA Sports has listed the best 100 players, but also the strongest national teams and the best under 21 players who will kick the green turf of Qatari stadiums. The first news is that the quintet of the best FIFA 23 players has been expanded and is now made up of seven stars of international football, who share the top spot as the best at the World Cup.

Only one is present in the absolute top 100 and, as you may have noticed, it is Pedri, with the Spain shirt on his shoulders and just 19 years old. Followed by Gavi, 18, with 82, Musiala, 19, with 82, Nuno Mendes with 81, Bellingham with 81, Gvardiol with 80, Hincapié with 79, Camavinga with 79, Yeremy Pino with 79 and Ansu Fati with 79.

For the rest, the evaluations go to climb in a rather delicate way, a sign of how the competition promises to be balanced after all. These evaluations refer to the Kick-Off or Tournament mode in the FIFA 23 World Cup expansion and not to FUT, for which ad hoc initiatives have been reserved, and will be live from 19:00 on Friday 18 November. The overalls will be able to change during the World Cup, with live updates that will adjust based on the performance of the players in Qatar.
