Revealed: Socceroos' EA Sports FIFA 21 Player Ratings

Note: The below lists include Socceroos who are currently in the FIFA 21 Ultimate Team mode. More Socceroos ratings will be revealed when the game is released to the general public. 

PACE

Boyle pledged his allegiance to the green and gold in 2018 with his pace now an instrumental attribute to the Socceroos. Sitting in second is recent Danish Superliga Champion Awer Mabil with a pace rating of 90 while Craig Goodwin, Mathew Leckie (both 82) and Jamie Maclaren (80) round out the top five.

SHOOTING

There are plenty of goals among the Socceroos with the top shooting statistics. Rogic leads the way (73), while Hyundai A-League Golden Boot winner, Maclaren, Aaron Mooy and last season’s K League Golden Boot winner, Adam Taggart, make up the top four. Goodwin and Western Sydney Wanderers’ top scorer last season, Mitch Duke, make up the top six.

PASSING

It comes as no surprise that four of the top five passers come from central midfield with recent Shanghai SIPG signing Mooy sitting top of the pile with a rating of 78. Tom Rogic and Brandon O’Neill share second spot with a rating of 70 while Craig Goodwin (68) and Ajdin Hrustic (67) round out the top five. 

DRIBBLING

The fancy feet of Rogic see him take the top gong of Australia’s best dribbler with the creative midfielder given a dribbling rating of 77. Mooy is one spot behind (74) with Leckie and Mabil (73) and Behich (72) making up the top five. 

DEFENDING

Western United’s fullback and fourteen-cap Socceroo Josh Risdon has been given Australia’s top defensive rating of 70. Mooy’s versatility is shown again (69) while Behich, Massimo Luongo and Bailey Wright (all 68) all make the top five.

PHYSICAL

Three of the top five ranked physical players plied their trade in the Hyundai A-League last season. Risdon and Sydney FC fullback Rhyan Grant (both 79) share the top gong as the Socceroos’ most physical player, while Pohang Steelers midfielder Brandon O’Neill sneaks into third. Saudi Arabia bound forward Duke sits in fourth (77) after a stellar season of hold up play for the Wanderers while Luongo completes the top five.

GOALKEEPING

English Premier League shot-stopper Mathew Ryan retains his spot at the top of Australia’s goalkeeper ratings with his kicking and reflexes (both 82) clear standouts. Genk shot-stopper Danny Vukovic’s quality positioning (78) see him in second position while Mitchell Langerak’s diving (71) and reflexes (72) helps see him sit in third. Following back-to-back Championships with Sydney FC, Andrew Redmayne’s overall grew from 66 to 67.
