Updated on July 11, 2025, by Suzail Ahmad:FIFA 23 may be the latest FIFA game, but not everyone has managed to get their hands on it yet. Some people are waiting for the price to drop, while others just want to continue their progress in FIFA 22. With the World Cup turning everyone into a football fan, the hype around football games has increased a lot. Like every FIFA game, certain players in FIFA 22 are much better than the rest, making them a good fit for every team. To make things easier for the people who want to use them, the list has been updated to include thehighest-rated players inFIFA 22.
20Virgil Van Dijk (89)
Virgil Van Dijk is considered to be the best defender in the world. He played a crucial role in Liverpool’s success in two competitions. During the World Cup, Van Dijk was among the better players, but unfortunately, the Netherlands lost to Argentina on penalties.
With a rating of 89, Van Dijk is a must-have in the game. His stats in different categoriesmake him a colossus and extremely difficultto get past. Van Dijk’s include 91 defending, 84 physicality, and 78 pace.
19Gianluigi Donnarumma (89)
Considering that he has played hundreds of games already, it is easy to forget that Donnarumma is only 23 years old. Ever since his transfer, Donnarumma has become the main goalkeeper for PSG.

He has also cemented himself as the No. 1 for the Italian National Team. Donnarumma’s performance levels have dropped a bit, however, he still has plenty of time to get back to his best. Donnarumma’s rating of 89, makes him one of thehighest-rated players inFIFA22.
18Joshua Kimmich (89)
Joshua Kimmich started as a fullback but has since moved into the midfield and garnered a reputation for being one of the best in his position. Kimmich is known for his precise passing, which helps his team to break down the opposition’s defense.
With a rating of 89, Kimmich is a solid option to have in the middle of the pitch. His highest stats are— 86 passing, 84 dribbling, and 83 defending.
17Alisson Becker (89)
Last season, Alisson Becker had a case for being the best goalkeeper in the world. His heroics helped Liverpool win two pieces of silverware. Alisson has taken his tremendous form into the new season, and he has been unquestionably their best player.
Alisson is also the main goalkeeper for the Brazilian National Team, and it doesn’t seem that he will be displaced anytime soon. Considering Alisson’s form, a rating of 89 doesn’t do him justice.
16Thibaut Courtois (89)
Thibaut Courtois is the goalkeeper of the current Spanish champions, Real Madrid. In his debut season for the club, Courtois was dubbed a flop and a waste of money. However, he managed to prove all his critics wrong.
Courtois has been given a rating of 89 inFIFA22, which makes him one of the best goalkeepers in the game. His highest stats include— 89 handling, 88 reflexes, and 86 positioning.
15Karim Benzema (89)
Karim Benzema had a ridiculous season with his club, Real Madrid. The Frenchman fired his side to La Liga and Champions League glory, and he played a very important role in both victories. Benzema’s heroics throughout the season have made him the number-one contender for the Ballon d’Or.
InFIFA 22, Benzema had a rating of 89, but there is no doubt that his rating will go up in the next game. Benzema’s stats inFIFA 22are- 87 dribbling, 86 shooting, and 81 passing.
14Heung Min Son (89)
Son had a historic season with Tottenham Spurs as he became the first Asian player to win the Golden Boot. The South Korean scored a total of 23 goals and not a single one of them was a penalty. After such a scintillating season, Son will undoubtedly look to do even better in the next season.

Son has a high rating of 89, which puts him in an elite group of players. He has great stats, which include 88 pace, 87 shooting, and 86 dribbling.
“The Egyptian King” had another impressive season both individually and collectively with his team. Salah scored 23 times in the league and assisted another 13 times, which earned him both the Golden Boot and the Playmaker of the Season award.
Mohammad Salah’s rating has dropped from 90 to 89, which is quite bizarre considering he had another excellent season last year. Despite, the drop in his overall rating, Salah still has great stats. He has 90 pace, 90 dribbling, and 87 shooting.
12Sadio Mane (89)
After a very slow start to his season, Mane picked up form after the African Cup of Nations as Klopp started to play in the number 9 position. Mane’s performances in that position were very impressive, and he rightfully earned a move to Bayern Munich.
Mane has an 89-rated card inFIFA 22.He has 91 pace, 89 dribbling, and 83 shooting, and all these attributes make him a very good player to use in the game.
11Marc-Andre Ter Stegen (90)
Ter Stegen had a rather disappointing season with Barcelona. The Spanish giants were nowhere near their best, and they were struggling in both domestic and European competitions. Ter Stegen had just 11 cleansheets in the league and made 2 errors, which led to goals for the opposition.
When the next edition of the game comes out, Ter Stegen might lose his 90-rated card, but until then the players can use him in the game as he has high stats that include- 90 reflexes, 88 kicking, and 88 diving.
