Messi’s Inter Miami teammate Rodrigo De Paul claims the third spot with an 84 rating, further cementing the Florida club’s virtual superiority. Three players share the fourth position with 80 ratings: Vancouver Whitecaps midfielder Thomas Muller, Inter Miami defensive midfielder Sergio Busquets, and LA Galaxy playmaker Riqui Puig.
The EA FC 26 ratings reflect the ongoing transformation of MLS from a retirement destination to a league capable of attracting elite talent still in their prime years. The influx of star power has elevated the league’s profile both on the pitch and in gaming representations, with six of the top 26 rated players having joined MLS during or before the 2025 season.
Players worldwide will have access to these MLS stars when EA FC 26 launches on Sept. 26, with Ultimate Edition owners gaining early access on Sept. 19.
