They’re finally here! There’s been much contentious debate after seeing unconfirmed stats in various videos, images and the closed beta, but finally the official starting FIFA 15 player ratings have been released straight from the horses mouth.

In true EA style they’re keeping us on tenterhooks by releasing the top 50 players in the game 10 at a time leaving us to guess which players are coming out later down the line. (Don’t worry Arsenal fans, I’m sure Danny Welbeck’s still to come……… :S)

Let us know if you agree with the ratings and if you think there’ll be any surprises in the top 50 this year and we’ll bring you rest once they’re released.
