Arsenal's FIFA 19 ratings have been released and if we're being totally honest, they don't look particularly exciting to play with.
Select FIFA YouTubers were given hands on time with the beta version of game at Gamescom 2018 and a whole host of ratings have been released ahead of time.
Someone has now put the Gunners' overalls out for the FIFA community to see, but they look painfully average. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, with his 87 rating, is their highest-rated player - while Mesut Ozil is one behind on 86 after dropping down two marks.
Henrikh Mkhitaryan, Alexandre Lacazette and Bernd Leno and joint third-highest with an 84 rating but after that it's all very unimpressive.

These ratings could change slightly before the full game arrives, but the fact remains that Arsenal really don't strike you as a top choice for a Career Mode venture or even as someone you'd get enjoyment playing with on 'Seasons'.
One team who will likely be everyone's favourite on the game will be Juventus.
And of course the main reason for that is the £99 million arrival of five-time Ballon d'Or winner Cristiano Ronaldo, who is also the game's cover star and retains his 94 rating.
Wojciech Szczesny is number one between the sticks after Gianluigi Buffon's departure to PSG, playing behind a brilliant back four of Joao Cancelo, Leonardo Bonucci, Giorgio Chiellini and Alex Sandro.
Then you've got Sami Khedira, Miralem Pjanic and Blaise Matuidi running the show in the middle of the park, Paulo Dybala (89-rated) and Douglas Costa doing bits on the flanks and providing service for the main man up top, Ronaldo.

A 4-2-3-1/4-3-3 formation is probably the best-suited system for the Old Lady on the game but you can mix things up from the bench with the likes of Juan Cuadrado, Federico Bernardeschi, Mario Mandzukic and Emre Can all very handy options from the bench.
