FIFA 19 player ratings LEAK: Have top 50 players just been REVEALED?

FIFA 19 fans have been treated to a shock new leak, as player ratings appear to to show the top 50 talents.

EA Sports has been slowly revealing the top 100 players in the upcoming football release.

After today’s official unveiling of the players ranked 40-31, FIFA fans claim to have discovered an image showing the entire top 50.

Unsurprisingly, cover star Cristiano Ronaldo is top, sharing a 94 rating with long-time rival Lionel Messi.

Neymar is third with a rating of 92, while Manchester City playmaker Kevin De Bruyne climbs to fourth place with 91.

Luka Modric , Eden Hazard, David De Gea, Sergio Ramos, Luis Suarez and Jan Oblak also appear in the leaked top 10.

More of a shock is the placement of Mo Salah at 27, which is one spot below Tottenham striker Harry Kane.

You can see the leaked top 50 in the image below.

But before Premier League fans complain about the final placements, it’s worth cross-referencing the leak with the official player ratings revealed by EA Sports.

EA’s official rankings place Gareth Bale at 31, compared to 28 in the leaked image. The ratings are the same, but the ranking is different.

It’s especially bad news for Gonzalo Higuaín, who appears at 16 in the leaked image with a rating of 90. In EA’s official rankings, Higuaín is listed at 38 with a rating of 88.

FIFA fans won’t have to wait long for official confirmation of the top 50, which continues on September 10 with players ranked from 30-21.

You can see how the players handle when the FIFA 19 demo hits PS4 and Xbox One on September 13.
