The Best of the Best: Salah at 91
Finally, standing above the rest is Mohamed Salah with a 91 overall. With 89 pace, 88 shooting, and 90 dribbling, Salah remains the Premier League's ultimate attacker in EA FC 26.
Despite competition from FC 26 Coins Haaland and Rodri, Goldbridge crowned Salah as "the best player in the Premier League," both in real life and in Ultimate Team. Few can argue-his consistency, production, and sheer dominance over the last five years speak for themselves.
Notable Absentees
While the ratings largely capture the league's stars, there are some glaring omissions:
Enzo Fernández-Surprisingly absent, likely sitting around 85 but missing from the top list entirely.
Gravenberch-A player many feel deserves more recognition.
Dominik Szoboszlai-Another midfielder with strong performances but overlooked here.
Cunha-As mentioned, 83 feels harsh considering his Wolves form.
These absences highlight how divisive EA's rating process can be.
Goldbridge's Personal Top 10
Beyond the official ratings, Goldbridge put forward his own top 10 list of Premier League players. Importantly, this isn't based on EA's overall scores, but on his personal rankings of talent and impact:
1.Mohamed Salah
2.Erling Haaland
3.Virgil van Dijk
4.Rodri
5.Declan Rice
6.Bukayo Saka
7.Alexander Isak
8.Alisson Becker
9.Cole Palmer
10.Alexis Mac Allister
This ranking sparked plenty of discussion. For example, having Rice in the top five emphasizes Goldbridge's belief he's underrated by EA. Palmer at ninth also feels bold, but his rapid rise at Chelsea justifies the call.
Final Thoughts
The Premier League's top 25 in EA FC 26 delivers plenty of debate fuel. Some choices-like Salah at 91, Haaland at 90, and Alisson at 89-feel spot on. Others, like Rice's "only 87," Dias holding an 86, and Gabriel above Saliba, are bound to frustrate fans.
Ultimately, ratings are always subjective. They reflect both last season's performances and EA's balancing for gameplay. But part of the fun of FC launch season is debating them endlessly, building squads around them, and proving EA wrong once matches kick off FC 26 Coins for sale. You can get cheap FC 26 Coins from MMOexp, train every player you like, and then integrate them into your formation.
So, what do you think? Does Salah deserve his crown as the Premier League's best? Should Declan Rice have been bumped up? And which omissions-Enzo, Szoboszlai, or Cunha-sting the most?
One thing's for certain: the ratings debate isn't ending any time soon, and the Premier League's stars will once again dominate Ultimate Team squads in FC 26.
