As the countdown to the release of FIFA 18 continues, so too does the countdown of which players have been deemed good enough to be featured in this year's top 100, with EA Sports gradually revealing the order in which this season's century of stars are ranked.
This evening, the video game developing behemoths shared with their impatient audience the second set of players in the top 100, ranked from 80 to 61.
As always, there were a couple of eyebrow raising moments, with two players rated as 'five star skillers' by EA included in the latest list.
