FIFA 17 Newcastle player ratings: Cheick Tiote tops the list for the Toon with Jonjo Shelvey not far behind

FIFA 17 was released in the UK on Thursday, with thousands of avid gamers lining up at midnight to get their hands on the game.

With the new ‘Marcus Rashford-themed’ The Journey – to kick-off, it’s understandable that many are itching to crack on straight away with the new game mode.

But for fans of the good, old-fashioned fans of Fifa Ultimate Team or perhaps even Career Mode, you’ll be dying to know what your team’s player ratings are, right?

Well, with that in mind, SunSport runs down all of the top players in the squad, based on their rating in FIFA 17, focusing here on Newcastle.
