EA Sports has officially revealed its list of the highest-rated players in FIFA 23. Surprisingly, the top of the ratings board has seen quite a shake-up this year.

In this list, you’ll find the Top 101 rated players in FIFA 23 as well as the rating for some of the most famous footballers of our generation.

Who Has the Highest Rating in FIFA 23?
The highest-rated player in FIFA 23 is Karima Benzema, the Center Forward from France.
The Real Madrid player has the highest overall stats with:
- Rank: 1
- Pace: 80
- Shooting: 88
- Passing: 83
- Dribbling: 87
- Defending: 39
- Physical: 78
- Skill Moves: 4 Stars
- Weak Foot: 4 Stars
This allows players to use advanced skill moves and be dangerous from both feet.
Is There a 100 Rated FIFA player?
No, there is no player who has been given a rating of 100 in FIFA 23. The highest rating currently in the game would be Karima Benzema, with a 91 overall rating.
There has never been an instance in FIFA’s history where a player achieved a rating of 100. The highest player rating ever achieved was by Romario in FIFA 1996, with a 99 overall rating.
Nowadays, you’re more likely to see anything above 94 in FIFA 23 Ultimate Team. In FUT, players can get special cards for special moments in their careers with boosted stats.
Even the iconic players from FUT Heroes, only playable in FIFA 23 Ultimate Team, only go up to 91 with Diego Forlán.
A 100 overall rating would need perfect stats, so unless it’s a kind gesture from EA Sports, then it is highly unlikely that we will ever see a player with an overall rating of 100.
Ronaldo FIFA 23 Rating
Cristiano Ronaldo has an overall rating of 90 in FIFA 23. This is one point lower than his rating of 91 in FIFA 22.
Here are his current FIFA 23 stats:
- Rank: 8
- Pace: 81
- Shooting: 92
- Passing: 78
- Dribbling: 85
- Defending: 34
- Physical: 75
- Skill Moves: 5 Stars
- Weak Foot: 4 Stars
This drop in his overall is likely linked to a large drop in Pace and Passing in his overall stats.
Messi FIFA 23 Rating
Lionel Messi has an overall rating of 91, pushing the Argentinian RW down four spots from his usual #1 overall spot.
These are his full FIFA 23 stats:
- Rank: 5
- Pace: 91
- Shooting: 81
- Passing: 89
- Dribbling: 94
- Defending: 34
- Physical: 64
- Skill Moves: 4 Stars
- Weak Foot: 4 Stars
Despite having a relatively high rating still, most of Messi’s stats saw a decrease in FIFA 23. Unless he has a stellar season with PSG, then it is possible to see Messi drop even lower next year.
Neymar FIFA 23 Rating
Neymar Jr has an overall rating of 89 in FIFA 23. This is lower than his previous rating of 91 in FIFA 22 and pushes him to the 11th spot in the highest-rated players list.
These are his full FIFA 23 Stats:
- Rank: 11
- Pace: 87
- Shooting: 83
- Passing: 85
- Dribbling: 93
- Defending: 37
- Physical: 61
- Skill Moves: 5 Stars
- Weak Foot: 5 Stars
Despite dropping in ratings, he still has complete control over his dribble and can formulate shots from nearly anywhere inside the box.
Mbappé FIFA 23 Rating
Kylian Mbappé has an overall rating of 91 in FIFA 23 and is the third best-rated player despite being one of the youngest in the Top 101.
Here are Mbappé’s stats for FIFA 23:
- Rank 3
- Pace: 97
- Shooting: 89
- Passing: 80
- Dribbling: 92
- Defending: 36
- Physical: 76
- Skill Moves: 5 Stars
- Weak Foot: 4 Stars
The PSG Striker is known for his high-speed performances, and it translates well into FIFA 23. His dribbling allows him to quickly pass through defenders and get a clear 1 on 1 chance against the goalkeeper.
Mbappé is also the cover star for FIFA 23 and will most likely have a special FUT Moments event dedicated to him this year.
Haaland FIFA 23 Rating
Erling Haaland has an overall rating of 88 in FIFA 23. Surprisingly, it’s the same as his overall rating in FIFA 22.
Although a few of his stats did get a boost:
- Rank: 21
- Pace: 89
- Shooting: 91
- Passing: 65
- Dribbling: 80
- Defending: 49
- Physical: 87
- Skill Moves: 3 Stars
- Weak Foot: 3 Stars
Despite his base card being quite low, players looking to use Haaland in FIFA 23 Ultimate Team are likely to see a few special Haaland cards with higher stats throughout the year.
