EA Sports begins EA FC 27 ratings reveal; Salah and Lewandowski among biggest downgrades

EA Sports FC has started publishing player ratings for the upcoming game EA FC 27 during its official ratings reveal, and the initial lists show significant downgrades for Mohamed Salah and Robert Lewandowski ahead of the title’s September 25, 2027 release.

The ratings rollout has delivered upgrades for players such as Lionel Messi, Lamine Yamal and Erling Haaland while also producing substantial reductions for several established stars. Players named among the most notable downgrades include Mohamed Salah, Robert Lewandowski, Marc-André ter Stegen, Heung Min Son, Florian Wirtz, Antonio Rüdiger and Manuel Neuer.

EA Sports says the ratings are driven by real-world performance data from the previous season and are combined with age, playing time, leagues and other major factors reviewed by EA’s data reviewers and editors.

Mohamed Salah’s overall rating has dropped to 87 in FC 27, a decline the article identifies as one of the most high-profile downgrades in the initial reveal.
