[Editor: Well...] Now that that’s aside, the no. If we consider defense, all three of them have nearly the same stats with Kroos (71) and Modric (71) edging out Thiago (70) by 1.

With only six in-game stats below 75, standing at 6'2" with a 4* weak foot, expect Goretzka to be in every other team you face this year. With the exception of 2017 and 2018 as he was regaining of his form after injury, Neuer was again amongst the world’s best last season.

Which makes the drastic ratings even more staggering.

Lionel Messi vs Ansu Fati: Which Barcelona star was the better player at 17? That's quite some claim and sure, there's always disputations with each year's statistics, but certain supporters have gone as far as creating a petition to change them this time around. (Note: Other than Kroos and Modric, these charts also include central midfielders rated higher than Thiago). In what was one of his best seasons at the club, Thiago bossed the midfield as he usually does and truly took Bayern’s game up by a notch when it mattered.

Gnabry’s pace is closer to Bernardo Silva’s, who plays more like an attacking midfielder than a winger and is possibly the slowest winger at Manchester City.

He's still hampered by a lack of physical presence and his shooting is nothing to write home about, but get him on the ball in midfield and this is a lovely little card.

Per Whoscored, Lewandowski has had an equal or higher dribbling stats than Ronaldo over the past two years. He's not the strongest, but he's had an upgrade with every iteration of FIFA he's been in, so that may come down the line.

Lanky, with 4* skill moves and weak foot and good creative and attacking stats across the board, he looks an excellent option behind your strikers.

Is Alphonso Davies really not going to start in such a big game? Good shooting stats without a whole lot else and a high defensive workrate mean, as ever, you're probably better off with a better-rounded, lower-rated alternative. His lack of playing time at the Allianz has really allowed him to focus on his gym work, hence the 91 strength.

We've also dished out one of the biggest downgrades to Aguero who, despite by no means having a terrible season with 23 goals, was highly overrated by the EA statisticians this year.

Therefore, it’s perplexing that Muller has not even been ranked among the games top 45 players.

When was the last time you saw Neuer grab a ball and drop it or fail to grab a catchable ball? His 2019/20 season was probably the Austrian’s greatest ever campaign and certainly much better than some of his recent seasons — seasons where he managed to get 87 and 86 ratings... Make no mistake about it, this is a disgrace. Brilliant defensively, strong, good on the ball and a fine passer, Witsel is Gullit Lite.

Only one player from outside Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund makes the top 20, but who are the best options for your Ultimate Team this year?

My biggest issue is the dual sided sword of overrating Ronaldo and Under rating Messi.

Alphonso Davies not in the game’s *top 20* fullbacks!?
