The ratings of FIFA 19 indicate the best players in the game, based on their football performance of the past year.
Join the discussion using the #FIFARatings hashtag on Twitter and Facebook. We want to know your opinions on the players in this ranking and on those who are left out.
Football is nice because it lends itself to various interpretations and the ranking with the best 100 players is no exception! The complete list, which we will update in real time, is available at the following link.
Inter โ 80 Radja Nainggolan
The Belgian midfielder is known for his intimidating presence in the middle of the pitch, which isnโt necessarily commonplace for a player whose chief role isnโt to defend or protect his back line. Nainggolan is truly two-way in that heโs nearly as good with the ball as he is at getting it back. His 83 Physical and Defending ratings give him the edge when trying to intercept or tackle, while a respectable 82 Dribbling rating provides the confidence and composure he needs to create something for his attackers.
Juventus โ 79 Alex Sandro
Steadily building his reputation around the world after making his presence known in Serie A, Brazilian left-back Sandro brings a balanced skill-set to a position that is probably more important than ever before. Heโs a menace when running up the pitch, leaving opponents in the dust with his 85 Pace and 81 Dribbling ratings. But as with any top fullback, Sandro also possesses dangerous Defending (82) and Physical (83) ratings that make him more than capable of standing up against even the most talented of wingers.

Juventus โ 78 Medhi Benatia
The Moroccan international has played for some of the worldโs biggest clubs in recent seasons, settling in Turin with Juventus after a loan spell. Benatia has all the key attributes of a top defender, including 87 Defending and 85 Physical ratings. He has an important role in the Juventus defense, using his height to dominate in the air and his experience to organize the players around him.
Valencia CF โ 77 Parejo
Though often deployed in a deeper midfield role, Parejoโs strengths tend to skew towards the offensive. Whether heโs creating something for a teammate with a clever pass (88 Passing) or bursting into the box to take a shot for himself (80 Shooting), Parejo has a particular set of skills that make him very dangerous in just about any situation.
Manchester United โ 76 Nemanja Matiฤ
Generally deployed solely as a defensive midfielder, Serbian international Matiฤ treats his role like a highly-specialized craftsman would. With 83 Defending and Physical ratings, Matiฤ can do nearly anything needed in a defensive capacityโwhich he is often tasked with doing.
Juventus โ 75 Douglas Costa
One of the fastest left midfielders in the game, Costaโs 95 Pace is nothing short of electrifying. Combined with his 91 Dribbling rating (and 5-star skill moves), the Brazilian excels at getting into precarious positions on the left side where he can fire in crosses or cut inside to shoot.
Chelsea โ 74 Cesar Azpilicueta
After making the transition from fullback to center back a couple seasons ago, the Spaniard has thrived by playing the position to his strengths. Azpilicueta has a whopping 87 Defending rating, which illustrates his excellence at the most important part of his position. While heโs not as tall as some of the giant center backs out there, his strengths (intelligence, quick feet) more than compensate as he has cemented a spot in one of the best defences in the English Premier League.
FC Schalke 04 โ 73 Naldo
The Brazilian colossus is tall, even by center back standards at 6โ6โ, meaning that challenging him for a ball in the air is often utterly futile. Heโs not just a giant body in the box, though: his 87 Defending rating shows how well-rounded Naldo is as a defender. The Schalke man is also surprisingly good at set pieces, known for blasting the ball into the net with speed and accuracy not always associated with center backs.
Manchester City โ 72 Fernandinho
Another paragon of the modern defensive midfielder, Fernandinho has the ideal attributes for his positionโwith a few tricks up his sleeve for when he happens to make it further up the pitch. His respectable 83 Defending rating is the centerpiece of his game, as he is usually tasked with recovering the ball in midfield or defending his back line. But his 79 Dribbling and 78 Passing ratings are solid, which helps him keep composure when taking the ball forward to create attacks or open space for teammates.
Juventus โ 71 Miralem Pjaniฤ
Perfectly suited to a deep-lying playmaker position, Pjaniฤ has the chops to create just about anything from midfield. His 86 Dribbling ability keeps defenders off his back, while his 86 Passing rating lets him ping the ball all over the pitch to kick off attacks and play his teammates through on goal.
Manchester City โ 70 Leroy Sanรฉ
Another speedy winger who makes the leap to world-class with exceptional technique on the ball, Sanรฉ flies down the left with his 95 Pace, but rarely loses the ball thanks to his 86 Dribbling ability. Depending on how his team is playing, heโs more than capable of cutting inside and lashing a shot at goal with an 81 Shooting rating.
Juventus โ 69 Leonardo Bonucci
Italian hero Bonucci is known around the world for his performances for both club and country, and heโs still going strong. His 87 Defending rating encompasses tackling skill and ability to read the game, both of which play into his excellent form over the course of his career. Bonucci combines that with an 80 Physical rating that helps him win aerial battles and knock opponents off the ball like itโs second nature.
Bayern Munich โ 68 Jรฉrรดme Boateng
As far as center backs go, the Bayern Munich and Germany stalwart is about as complete a player as the position gets. His 85 Defending rating covers a penchant for tough tackling and defensive intelligence, but his 83 Physical rating also helps him shrug off challenges and keep the opposition at a distance.
Bayern Munich โ 67 Thomas Mรผller
A prime example of a versatile attacker in the modern game, Muller has played just about every offensive position. But his nose for the goal (83 Shooting) and natural composure (78 Dribbling) on the ball lead many to believe his best position is as a forward. He often gets deployed in a โsecond strikerโ role behind another forward, in part because a solid 80 Passing rating thelps him create for the main forward or another teammate.
Manchester City โ 66 Ederson
The Brazilian shot-stopper has emerged as one of the best young goalkeepers in the world after his big move to Manchester City ahead of the 2017-18 season. Ederson checks nearly all the important boxes for the position, including a 90 Kicking rating that allows him to get counterattacks going quickly and accurately, an 85 Diving rating that explains how he seems to be able to get a hand on the most impossible shot attempts, and a ridiculous 87 Reflexes rating โ few can catch him off guard between the posts.
Liverpool โ 65 Roberto Firmino
A little different than many modern strikers, the Brazilian is well-rounded and versatile, just as able to flash his technique (86 Dribbling) as he is to make important passes (80 Passing) and shoot from just about anywhere (83 Shooting). Firmino does all the little things perfectlyโand pretty much all the big things as well, making him a dream for almost any manager.
Paris Saint-Germain โ 64 Marco Verratti
Ridiculously talented with the ball at his feet (89 Dribbling), Italian midfield maestro Verratti creates space and kicks off attacks either on his own or with a slick, incisive pass (84 Passing) to split the defence wide open. Though he frequently starts deeper in a more central position, Verratti is usually found all over midfield, picking up the ball and making things happen when the opposition least expects it.
Manchester City โ 63 Nicolรกs Otamendi
Argentine center back Otamendi has built his stock up considerably over the past few seasons with Manchester City, thanks to many strong performances in the heart of the defence for the reigning Premier League champions. He has an 86 Defending rating and 80 Physical rating, yet another solid center back skill set, that makes him a proficient tackler, strong in the air, and easily able to hold his own when fighting an opponent.
Bayern Munich โ 62 Thiago
The Spanish midfield wizard thrives in a deeper position, allowing him to put his significant playmaking skills to good use as he conjures up ridiculous attacks for his team. Thiago can twist and weave his way through opponents, as evidenced by his 89 Dribbling rating, but itโs his distribution of the ball and passing vision (84 Passing) for which he is most often praised.
Arsenal โ 61 Mesut รzil
The German midfielder is considered a strong playmaker, but Ozil is more often deployed close to the strikers rather than the defenders. Whether itโs helping set up a one-two into the box, releasing a forward on goal with a through ball, or leaping on a loose ball and running it into the box himself, Ozil uses his 86 Passing and 84 Dribbling ratings to great effect from his preferred position.
