Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo once again feature in the best XI FIFA 21 Ultimate Team, based on the ratings at launch of the game.

There's less than a month to go until the latest edition of FIFA comes out and we now know who the best 100 players in the game will be after EA Sports' announcement on Thursday.

Messi and Ronaldo are of course the top two as usual and Robert Lewandowski joins them in third on the list, and the trio are part of a ludicrous front line in our best XI.

The best team you can have is a 3-2-5 that creates a 91 rated team.

The back line is made up of Atletico Madrid's Jan Oblak in goal with Sergio Ramos, Virgil van Dijk and Kalidou Koulibaly in front of him.

It's no surprise that Ramos and Van Dijk's chemistry isn't that great considering the Real Madrid captain helped stop the Liverpool defender from winning the Champions League in 2018.

On the other side of the Dutchman is Koulibaly and their chemistry could soon be better, with the Napoli defender heavily linked with a move to the Premier League, but with with Manchester City.

The midfielders are likely to have a lot of work to do with such an attacking line up, so it's a good job Casemiro's defensive stats are 86.

Kevin de Bruyne might not be as helpful in keeping out the opposition but with him in midfield the forwards are going to have a lot to feast on.

A front five of Neymar, Kylian Mbappe, Messi, Ronaldo and Lewandowski is almost too ridiculous for words as far as any XI is concerned.

The FIFA ratings announcement always causes controversy and this year was no different with fans instantly up in arms over different things.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang's downgrading from FIFA 20 was chief amongst the complaints from fans, and even the Arsenal forward got involved.

He wasn't the only one either as Manchester City's Aymeric Laporte also revealed his displeasure at his pace on the new game.

There's no doubt that they'll be even more gripes from players when more ratings are revealed.
