The top 10 highest-rated EA Sports FC 24 players appear to have been leaked online ahead of the official launch.
The new game, which is the first in the post-FIFA era, is slated for a worldwide release on September 29 and there's plenty of anticipation for how different it will all be.
Notable changes include a new commentary team, Pro Clubs crossplay, the addition of female players in Ultimate Team and Ballon d'Or and bus parade cutscenes in Career Mode to name just a few.
EA typically roll out the ratings in a countdown and they are always guaranteed to cause an almighty stir amongst fans.
But often they get leaked ahead of time anyway and that looks to be the case once again, with a TikTok video going viral.

The clip shows a slew of Ultimate Cards in the new format, complete with their overall grade and leading statistics.
And according to the leak, a number of players - both male and female - are tied on 91. If the images are indeed legitimate, cover star Erling Haaland, teammate Kevin De Bruyne, Kylian Mbappe and female stars Alexia Putellas and Sam Kerr will all up there as the best players on the new game.
In addition, France and Lyon's Wendie Renard, Karim Benzema, Caroline Graham Hansen of Barcelona, USWNT star Alex Morgan and Robert Lewandowski complete the top ten after being given a mark of 90.

Lewandowski has received a downgrade, while Haaland has gone up two marks from 89.
Strikingly there is no place for Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi, who were the best two players on the game for an prolonged period.
A separate leak claimed that Ronaldo's overall rating has dropped all the way down to 83, while Messi, who is also no longer playing in Europe, winding up 88 - his lowest score since FIFA 08.
