Arsenal top 10 player ratings on EA FC 24 'leaked'
As per Twitter user @AFCMet, several Gunners stars will receive big upgrades for the new EA FC 24 game.
The accolade for highest-rated Arsenal player is shared by captain Martin Odegaard and forward Bukayo Saka, who are both rated at 87. Odegaard goes up from an 84 on FIFA 23, while Saka is boosted from an 82 overall.
New signing Declan Rice, meanwhile, is rated at 85 overall (up from 84), while the trio of Gabriel Jesus (up from 83), William Saliba (up from 80) and Thomas Partey (same rating) are 84 overall.
Jorginho remains at an 83 overall, while Aaron Ramsdale also retains his FIFA 23 rating of 82. But new signing Kai Havertz drops down from an 84 to an 82.
The German has also received a position change, according to the leaks, lining up as a CF instead of at CAM.
But there has been major debate over the rating of Gabriel Martinelli, who is 82 overall.
Although the Brazilian has been given a big boost from his 78 rating for FIFA 23, fans feel it is not enough for one of Arsenal's key players last season - and they lamented that his compatriot Gabriel Magalhaes was not included in the top 10.
Taking to Twitter, one fan wrote: "Martinelli criminally underrated."
Another said: "Laughing at Saka getting an 87 rating (as he should) whilst Martinelli gets an 82, when he literally scored 15 Prem goals last season."
A third added: "Saliba and Martinelli 86 though."
A fourth exclaimed: "Where the hell is Gabriel?! Cannot be rated lower than 82 surely?!!"
Another wrote: "Surprising Martinelli is only 82, should be 84/85. Jesus screwed by injuries otherwise he would be 86/87 also."
