Now we have known FIFA 17’s Top 50 list, released by EA Sports so far and the players ranked 31st and 36th will be of particular interest to fans in North London.
There is no more accurate representation of a footballer’s ability, it could be argued, than his rating on FIFA. It would be wrong, of course, but it could be argued nonetheless.
That is why the release of the 50 players with the best ratings in FIFA 17 was always to be big news.
As you can see below, the 20 players on the 50-31 list include some very big names – the likes of Marco Reus, Sergio Busquets and David Silva all feature.
But the bit that really jumped out at us?
Let’s take a look at Lloris and Sanchez’s FIFA 17 ratings.
Alexis Sanchez – Arsenal – FIFA 17’s 36th best player
FIFA 17 OVR: 87
Full of craft and guile, the Arsenal left winger has the ability to unlock any defense. His 86 Pace will frighten back lines but it is his 88 Dribbling which will mesmerize them.
Hugo Lloris – Tottenham – FIFA 17 31st best player
FIFA 17 OVR: 88
The Spurs goalkeeper remains one of the finest at his position in all of world football. Lloris has 90 Reflexes along with 87 Diving making him a great addition to your squad.
