[post_content] => Who is the best soccer player in the world? Today, opinions are divided, and top scorers like Messi, Ronaldo or Robert Lewandowski all have their fans. But in a computer game, it's easy to say who is the best player—because you can access FIFA 22 player ratings and see the easy-to-measure statistics.
After summing up the points and measuring useful abilities, Lionel Messi is once again considered the best player in the world. Many players thought Robert Lewandowski would be the best player in FIFA 22 ratings, but he has a slightly different specialty.
In this article, we will present the best players in FIFA 22—both male and female players. These FIFA 22 players are great acquisitions for your entire team—especially if you try using our app.
Lionel Messi
This Argentinian player is PSG's new number 30, having just moved from Barcelona to Paris for £25 million. He is considered the king of scorers in South America, having scored the most goals during a single year in history.
After his exploits with Argentina, which he led to victory in the Copa America, Messi is rated 93, the highest rating in the game. Messi's basic gold card in FIFA 22 has a pace rating of 85, a shooting rating of 92, a passing rating of 91 and a dribbling rating of 95. This is the third year in a row that Messi has topped the charts in EA's game.
Robert Lewandowski
This Polish striker plays for FC Barcelona, where he controversially moved on from Bayern Munich. Lewy is arguably the best Polish soccer player ever, having risen to third place in the FIFA 21 charts, surpassing Cristiano Ronaldo in the process. We have analyzed Lewandowski’s skills before.
As of FIFA 22's release date, he had scored 209 goals for Bayern in 223 games, with 48 of those goals coming in just 40 games last season. His new card has a shooting trait of 92, a dribbling at level of 86 and a physicality index of 82.
Cristiano Ronaldo
Portugal's Cristiano Ronaldo of Manchester United is a soccer icon for many footie fans. Ronaldo has already been awarded the Ballon d'Or five times. He was the world's highest-earning soccer player for two years. He was best known for playing for Real Madrid, but moved to Manchester United during the summer transfer window.
Given the popularity of English Premier League teams in Ultimate Team, even his most basic gold card can cost you millions of dollars. With a pace of 87, a shooting percentage of 93, a passing score of 82 and a dribbling score of 88, he's one of the best characters in FIFA 22 player ratings.
Kevin de Bruyne
Belgian de Bruyne is a midfielder for Manchester City, and the 2020 player of the year in the Premier League. He is not the captain of the Belgian national team, but he is its mainstay. Thanks to his skills, his teams have repeatedly won first place. De Bruyne is a talented player, which can be seen in his statistics in the FIFA game.
Those who find the Belgian in the game can take advantage of his talents, which include 93 passing, 88 dribbling, 86 shooting and 76 speed—some of the best FIFA 22 ratings for midfielders.
Vivienne Miedema

[post_content] => Rivalry is a key element of any sport—and recent years in soccer have been dominated by the debate between fans of Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo. The age-old question of Messi vs Ronaldo rivalry can be partially answered by tracking their performance in the rankings or watching the excellent matches in which these two players have faced each other. Even in video games you can check their rankings and effectiveness – see our article on FIFA 22 top players.
This has been the case for most of the last 10 years, but times change all the time. The Ronaldo vs Messi rivalry has been extremely heated at times, with both players giving each other derogatory nicknames and trying to outdo each other in ads and social media campaigns as they compete for first place in La Liga. Many hope that FIFA World Cup 2022 will allow these two of the greatest players ever to set foot on a football field to resolve their infamous feud.
There are also some that think that FIFA World Cup 2022 will be the last major event these two players will share. Messi and Ronaldo are now well into their 30s. Although it's hard to imagine these days, the time will soon come when they will stop playing soccer. The Portuguese captain's decision to leave Spanish soccer ends a certain era.
Are Messi and Ronaldo getting older?
Over the past ten years, Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi have been the best players in the Champions League. However, for the first time in 15 years, neither player will be in the semifinals of the competition this year. While they will be in FIFA World Cup 2022, they will be there as best national players—not necessarily as club representatives. The Portuguese won five medals and the Argentinian four, but it is looking more and more like their halcyon days are over.
Both Messi and Ronaldo are true aces when it comes to scoring goals. The Messi vs Ronaldo rivalry caused amazing records in the UEFA Champions League, where Ronaldo has won the top scorer position seven times and Messi six times. Cristiano scored 130 goals and assisted on 38 others, while Messi scored 115 goals and assisted on 33.
Although Messi and Cristiano found their way into the Champions League this year, neither did particularly well. Messi scored three goals, while Cristiano scored four. It seems that their star is starting to wane, as Robert Lewandowski scored 14 goals in eight games and Erling Haaland scored eight goals.
Ronaldo vs Messi: experience and decline
It is often said that sports are good for you—but professional sports can nevertheless majorly exhaust a player and cause long-lasting health issues. Cristiano, reportedly, is finding it difficult to cope with playing for Real Madrid. Although he played well for Juventus, he has not been able to repeat the success he had, in the Spanish capital. Lionel Messi, on the other hand, has squandered his chances to win games again, and it looks like his FC Barcelona team is nearing the end of a great golden era.
What's more, their last big wins were a few years ago. Cristiano Ronaldo recently quashed rumors about his future, saying that his main goal is to finish the season well with the Italian team. Slowly, however, their weaknesses are coming to light and the Messi vs Ronaldo rivalry might end soon.
The end is near — excellent documentary!
YouTuber Lorenzo F7 filmed a mesmerizing “documentary” about the Ronaldo vs Messi famous rivalry, presumably to prepare us all for the end of their soccer careers. It can be found on YouTube under the title Cristiano Ronaldo & Lionel Messi—THE END IS NEAR
It shows them as young players before Ronaldo qualified for Man United and Messi for Barcelona's first team. Things got better when Ronaldo signed with Real Madrid in 2009 and joined Messi in La Liga, and then the documentary really picks up as we see their rivalry. It implies that soon they will leave professional soccer as players for good—as usual, they might shift to coaching after the FIFA World Cup 2022.
As Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi's time in the spotlight comes to an end, their place is beginning to be taken by other top players such as Haaland, Kylian Mbappé, Raheem Sterling and Joao Felix. Many fans point to Robert Lewandowski—but the Pole is of a similar age as Messi and Ronaldo. Perhaps Lewy will be at the top for a year or two… but as it happens in soccer, his place will be taken by younger players.

[post_content] => What are ones to watch cards in Fifa? How are they different from the regular cards we can get in this popular game? How do ones to watch cards work? These and other questions will be answered in the article below!
What are Ones to Watch Cards?
Before you learn about the best Ones to Watch cards, you need to know what they actually are and why an entire article is being written about them! What are hole cards? These are special cards that are based on so-called Promising Transfers. The FIFA ones to watch roster changes twice a year, once after the game is released and the second time after the transfer window closes. In addition, the ones to watch cards themselves change their statistics during the season. Every week, a so-called Team of the Week (TOTW) is selected, and if a player ends up in it, his stats improve.
Who were the OTW cards in previous years?
A fairly obvious fact is that the ones to watch cards feature the most popular players of the year. So we'll see some familiar names on them for all to see, including Lemar, Malcom, Promes, Mahrez, Dembele, Higuai and Ronaldo.
In FIFA 19, the top three players on ones to watch cards were:
- Cristiano Ronaldo - 95
- Higuain - 88
- Mahrez - 85
In FIFA 20 the best were:
- E. Hazard - 91
- Griezmann - 89
- Coutinho - 86
Check out everything you need to know about FIFA 23!
Ones to watch cards FIFA 23 - what do you need to know about them?
We've already given a brief overview of what ones to watch cards looked like in previous years, but the most important thing is who we'll see on them in FIFA 23 and what will change about them. The ones to watch card system is expected to change slightly in FIFA 23, but first let's discuss what ones to watch stars get increased ratings for. The ones to watch system is based on player performance. A player's OWR increases if:
- The player gets the Inform card
- The player gets a Man of the Match card
- The team gets Wins to Watch
It is the latter of the aforementioned systems that is set to change in FIFA 23. Wins to Watch first appeared in FIFA 22. In the previous installment, a team had to win a minimum of 5 out of 10 league matches played after the game's October 1 release. In FIFA 23, this system is expected to be more favorable to players. Admittedly, this is not officially confirmed, the information was reported by a well-known FIFA Donk leaker. According to the well-known leaker, from now on, teams will only have to win 3 of their first 8 league games. Another change is the addition of an upgrade for players whose national teams will be playing at the Winter World Cup in Qatar. According to a leaker, for winning matches at the World Cup, the stars of the openings are to get additional points. This is not confirmed information, but one must admit that it is an interesting addition.
Did you know that Croatia is returning to FIFA 23? After 10 years, we will see it in the game!
FIFA 23 hole cards confirmed players and speculations
The final decision regarding the open players in FIFA 23 has not yet been made, it will be made by EA as soon as the game is released. The list of players who can qualify for open cards is very long (more than 500). Therefore, only a small part of them will get on the cards. We can assume that the number of players will be higher than in previous years, as there is a noticeable upward trend in the number of cards:
- FIFA 21 - 28
- FIFA 22 - 35
The first confirmed player by EA was Erling Haaland, who, as in FIFA 22, will have an OVR of 88. After that, Haaland will be joined by Darwin Núñez, Richarlison and Raheem Sterling. The rest of the players we give in the list below are a collection created by leaks and guesses:

[post_content] => Recently, gamers and soccer fans around the world were excited by important news. EA Sports had long ago removed a particularly powerful squad from FIFA, as well as from all previous editions of the game for the past ten years. However, after this long, annoying break, the current world’s second best team is finally back in the game.
In a tweet, the Croatian Football Association (HFA) confirmed that their national team will be included in FIFA 23. Despite their success on the international stage, the Croatian national team has been absent from officially licensed FIFA games for ten years.
The missing team - Croatia
It is widely known that Croatia advanced to the 2018 World Cup by eliminating England. When Croatia performed so well at the World Cup in Russia four years ago, many fans had high hopes that the controversy surrounding their absence in FIFA games would soon be resolved.
Since their previous performance in FIFA 12, Croatia has been conspicuously absent from the FIFA series. After Luka Modric and his team finished second in the 2018 World Cup, attention was drawn to the fact that Croatia was not included in the video games. Although the red and white checkerboard has many fans around the world, they have not been playable for a decade.
Why? As usual, it's all about money.
A modest amount of money
Tomislav Pacak, a spokesman for the Croatian Football Association, said in an official statement at the time that the reason Croatia is not present in FIFA 19 is because the Croatian Football Association (HNS) and EA Sports were unable to reach an agreement that would satisfy both sides.
"It should come as no surprise that we attach more importance to the team that won the silver medal at the 2018 FIFA World Cup and was named the best player in the world this year than EA currently does with its offering. We continue to protect the importance of value and image of the Croatian national team and our players.''
"We understand and share the disappointment players are experiencing, and we hope that this situation can be changed in the future - HNS is more than open to this, and we hope that EA will also listen to its consumers and respect their request to have a Croatian squad available in the game."
In short, Croatia was unhappy with the amount of money EA gave to their federation to have their team legally licensed in the game. According to newspaper articles published in 2012, EA allegedly made Croatia a very modest offer of €100,000. According to reports, Davor Suker, the all-time leading scorer for Croatia and then-president of the Croatian Football Association, scoffed at the offer and refused. The same thing happened with Switzerland - which to this day is not present in the entire series.
A new president vs EA Sports
EA managed to reach an agreement after the controversial president Suker was removed from his post a year ago and replaced by Marijan Kustić.
"We are happy to have reached an agreement with EA Sports on the inclusion of the Croatian national team in FIFA 23. We are aware that players from all over the world, especially fans of the Croatian national team, have been patiently waiting for this moment for a long time, and we are happy that they will be able to play FIFA 23 as their favorite team, wearing the most beautiful jersey in the world. This is a significant step for HNS towards younger audiences and players and we will continue to work in this direction,"- Marijan Kustic, president of HNS, said.
HNS has become one of the 300 individual licensed partners of the game for the return. This gives players access to more than 19,000 players competing on 700 teams in over a thousand stadiums and in more than 30 different national leagues around the world. Players in Fifa 23 will have the opportunity to play in some of the world's most prestigious leagues and tournaments for some of the best clubs and national teams in the world - including the Croatian national team.
Since FIFA 23 will be the first installment to feature a World Cup mode, Croatia's inclusion couldn't come at a better time.
In addition to Croatia, FIFA 23 will provide many other new features. In this installment of the series, it will be possible to compete in both the men's and women's world championships for the first time. In addition, there will be massive cross-platform play that will allow players using PS, Xbox and PC to play together, as well as an emphasis on Hyper Motion technology.

[post_content] => Recently, gamers and soccer fans around the world were excited by important news. EA Sports had long ago removed a particularly powerful squad from FIFA, as well as from all previous editions of the game for the past ten years. However, after this long, annoying break, the current world’s second best team is finally back in the game.
In a tweet, the Croatian Football Association (HFA) confirmed that their national team will be included in FIFA 23. Despite their success on the international stage, the Croatian national team has been absent from officially licensed FIFA games for ten years.
The missing team - Croatia
It is widely known that Croatia advanced to the 2018 World Cup by eliminating England. When Croatia performed so well at the World Cup in Russia four years ago, many fans had high hopes that the controversy surrounding their absence in FIFA games would soon be resolved.
Since their previous performance in FIFA 12, Croatia has been conspicuously absent from the FIFA series. After Luka Modric and his team finished second in the 2018 World Cup, attention was drawn to the fact that Croatia was not included in the video games. Although the red and white checkerboard has many fans around the world, they have not been playable for a decade.
Why? As usual, it's all about money.
A modest amount of money
Tomislav Pacak, a spokesman for the Croatian Football Association, said in an official statement at the time that the reason Croatia is not present in FIFA 19 is because the Croatian Football Association (HNS) and EA Sports were unable to reach an agreement that would satisfy both sides.
"It should come as no surprise that we attach more importance to the team that won the silver medal at the 2018 FIFA World Cup and was named the best player in the world this year than EA currently does with its offering. We continue to protect the importance of value and image of the Croatian national team and our players.''
"We understand and share the disappointment players are experiencing, and we hope that this situation can be changed in the future - HNS is more than open to this, and we hope that EA will also listen to its consumers and respect their request to have a Croatian squad available in the game."
In short, Croatia was unhappy with the amount of money EA gave to their federation to have their team legally licensed in the game. According to newspaper articles published in 2012, EA allegedly made Croatia a very modest offer of €100,000. According to reports, Davor Suker, the all-time leading scorer for Croatia and then-president of the Croatian Football Association, scoffed at the offer and refused. The same thing happened with Switzerland - which to this day is not present in the entire series.

[post_content] => With a new Fifa ahead of us, fans are waiting, as they do every year, for the new content that the next installment of the series will bring. What do we already know about fifa 23? How much will it cost and most importantly - when will the game's official release date be? You can find out all this in the article below!
Fifa 23 release date - when will we play the new Fifa?
Let's start this article by answering the most important of all questions you may ask. When is the new fifa coming out? September 30 is the day that all football fans are waiting for. It is possible to purchase a special, more expensive version of the game - the Ultimate Edition. This will give you access to fifa 23 three days faster than those who buy the game normally. In addition, on September 27, people who have access from EA Play pro and EA Play will play fifa.
Encouraged to buy the game in pre-order? That's great, but if that doesn't convince you, EA Sports has more reasons for you to be happy! With the game three days before release you will also receive a non-replaceable FUT Fifa World Cup Hero, if you pre-order the game before August 21 you will receive even more extras, find out more here.
What will you be able to play the new fifa on? EA sports does not surprise with anything above average availability of the game, but it is not bad. You can play fife 23 on: Playstation 5, Playstation 4, Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, Xbox One and PC!
Fifa 23 price
Let's ask ourselves a question that is certainly very important for many players who do not have a large budget to spend on games. How much does the new Fifa 23 cost? The standard edition will cost $59.99. For the Ultimate version you will pay $99.99. However, the price varies depending on what hardware you will want to play on.
New features in Fifa 23, what do we know about it?
Why would players buy a new installment of their favorite game if it was no different from the previous one, right? You hear a lot about voices of discontent related to the little technological progress in the Fifa series, will it be so with the new fifa as well? Check out what new will be added to the game.
Women's soccer
For the first time in the history of the Fifa series we will see not only male players on the pitch! In this year's edition, women will be added to the game. Players will have both French and English women's leagues at their disposal. The first female player to promote the game is Sam Kerr - who currently plays for Chelsea FC.
HyperMotion 2
EA Sports boasts the use of HyperMotion 2 technology, and what exactly does this technology give? In the developer's words - "more realism every time you step onto the pitch." 6,000 unique animations will be added to the game, which replicate realistic player movements during a match. That's 2,000 more animations than in Fifa 22.
World Cup mode
This is a real treat for tournament lovers! The game will feature a real world championship that will coincide with those in the real world. The World Cup will be held in Qatar in November 2022. The Fifa 23 championship will be both men's and women's. There will be no shortage of excitement.
Cross-platform play
EA Sports is doing what it needs to do to get on par with the competition. More and more games that are released for more than one gaming platform offer cross-platform play. Fifa 23 introduces this feature, but with some limitations. Players will be able to compete with other people who play on the same generation of hardware. This means so much that a player who owns a PlayStation 5 will be able to compete with one who plays on an Xbox Series S/X. PlayStation has been grouped with Xbox X. The PC has been bundled with the latest generation of consoles. The Nintendo Switch, on the other hand, does not support cross-platform entertainment.
What stars will we see in Fifa 23? Who will be the commentator in Fifa 23?
Yes, as the leaks said, we will see Samem Kerr and Mbpappe on the cover of Fifa 23. This is Mbappe's third appearance on the Fifa cover, while it's Kerr's first time on it. This is a landmark moment for women's soccer, as this is the first woman on the fifa cover.
Who will commentate matches in Fifa 23? In the English version, the main commentator will be Derek Rae, who comments on matches mainly in the Bundesliga on a daily basis. His broadcast partner will be Stuart Robson. In addition, players will hear the voice of Alex Scott!
