The Player Ratings table reflects the Gold, Silver, and Bronze Player Items available in Ultimate Team ’27 at launch. It does not reflect other types of Player Items (e.g. Heroes, Icons, or Campaign Player Items), including those added after release, nor will it reflect live form updates available in other modes. Sorting by Rank arranges items first by their Overall rating, with further ordering established by subjective factors based on the athletes’ real-life performance (not item attributes).Player club affiliations are subject to change following real-world transfers. Certain player details are subject to change following the database update on 10 Sep. Voting begins at Monday, Sep 14 8am PT through 11:59pm PT on Sep 14. The final Team of the Week Community Player selection will be determined by a combination of EA and community votes.
