Fifa 17 Premier League ratings: Sergio Aguero rated third best Fifa 17 player with David de Gea second – but who is best Premier League star?


ZLATAN IBRAHIMOVIC has been named the best rated Premier League star on Fifa 17 – but no Englishman features anywhere in the top 50.

The Manchester United striker, who has had a stunning start to life in English football this season is rated a total of 90, with 90 shooting and 86 physicality – but is only seventh in the total list.

United teammate David ge Gea is the second best top flight player with Sergio Aguero third – but both are outside the top 10 in which Wales and Real Madrid star Gareth Bale is sixth.

Perhaps surprisingly for the world’s most expensive footballer, Paul Pogba is only 18th in the list and the sixth best Premier League player.

A total of 13 footballers from the nation’s top league feature in the game’s official top 50, with Alexis Sanchez, David Silva and Dimitri Payet all featuring but not in the Premier League top ten.

But embarrassingly for the national side, no Englishman is to be seen anywhere in the list after a disastrous Euro 2016 campaign.

EA Sports have taken ratings incredibly seriously this year and have been releasing them in chunks, with the top three expected to be announced later today.

Barcelona’s Luis Suarez finishes an agonising fourth, meaning for second consecutive year, Lionel Messi, Neymar and Cristiano Ronaldo will make up the top three.

The hugely popular console game is released on September 27 and SunSport runs down the Premier League‘s top ten stars.

10. Hugo Lloris (31st, overall rating 88)

Spurs’ number one remains one of the finest in of world football despite being currently injured. The french international has 90 Reflexes along with 87 Diving.

9. Eden Hazard (30th, overall rating 88)

One of the fastest players in the game, the gifted Chelsea winger possesses 90 Pace and 91 Dribbling making him incredibly dangerous to opposition. A Fifa player’s favourite.

8. Petr Cech (38th, overall rating 88)

The most experienced of the four top flight goalkeepers on this list, he has continued to impress after his move across London from Chelsea to Arsenal aged 34 with 90 Handling.

7. Kevin de Bruyne (21st, overall rating 88)

Manchester City’s playmaker is one of the best for a through ball on the game, rated 86 Passing. Chelsea probably regret letting him leave in 2014 as he is now one of the world’s finest attacking midfielders.

6. Paul Pogba (18th, overall rating 88)

Perhaps surprisingly for the world’s most expensive footballer, Pogba is only 18th overall and 6th in Premier League – but the central midfielder is only young and boasts 87 Dribbling and 87 Physicality.

5. Thibault Courtois (13th, overall rating 89)

The Chelsea and Belgium number one has the best Handling of any goalkeeper on the game at 91 and has a knack of producing jaw-dropping saves.

4. Mesut Ozil (12th, overall rating 89)

Languid and skillful, the German Arsenal midfielder has one of the best Passing stats on the game with 87. He will link play together and provide as many assists as in real life.

3. Sergio Aguero (11th, overall rating 89)

Apart from the “big three”, prolific Manchester City striker Aguero probably has some of the best all-round stats on the game. He has 89 Pace, 88 Shooting, and 89 Dribbling. Pretty decent…

2. David de Gea (10th, overall rating 90)

Only Manuel Neuer is rated higher as a goalkeeper on the game, and with the Manchester United star’s his 90 rated Reflexes and excellent 87 Kicking stats making him a sure-fire pick for many players.

1. Zlatan Ibrahimovic (7th, overall rating 9o)

The second best striker on the game after Suarez even aged 34. Has 90 Shooting to partner 86 Physicality making him one of the best finishers and all-round attacking options.
