The debate that defines every new football season is about to begin. EA FC 27 is making ratings more connected to real-world football than ever before, and from 15 August, the conversation goes public.
Over the course of a week, EA will reveal the 27 highest-rated men’s and women’s players, Club Star Ratings, and the top players from the biggest leagues in world football.
At the end of the week, the full Ratings Database goes live, giving you access to every base Player Item’s stats. But that’s not all – for the first time, you get to have your say.
Starting 21 August, you can vote for the players you believe will define the season, helping to shape the first Destined for Glory campaign. Let’s break down everything you need to know.

The World’s Debate
Starting 15 August, EA will roll out daily reveals across their social channels and website. Expect to see:

Item Rarity

Instead, as the FC 27 player ratings are revealed, you’ll see Items classified simply as Bronze, Silver, or Gold. This simplifies squad building and makes it easier to understand the value of each card at a glance.
