FIFA 21 ratings leaked as high-profile wonderkid duo get big upgrades

It’s almost time for the traditional FIFA ratings reveal, with EA set to reveal the first batch of FIFA 21 ratings later today.

EA confirmed on their official EASPORTSFIFA Twitter account that the FUT 21 player ratings reveal will begin on Thursday September 10 at 4pm UK time, but it has not been confirmed which players will have their ratings revealed, or which batch of players will be revealed.

Some ratings and attributes of players like Mason Mount, Steven Bergwijn, Phil Foden, Sergino Dest and Rodrygo were ‘leaked’ in the reveal trailer ahead of the full FIFA 21 ratings reveal.

But on the morning of the full FIFA 21 ratings reveal, two of the world’s best wonderkids have had their ratings ‘leaked’, with AC Milan defender Theo Hernandez and Atletico Madrid striker Joao Felix both getting upgrades in FUT 21.

French left-back Hernandez ‘leaked’ his own rating this morning, stating on a tweet via his official Twitter account that ‘I’m not waiting @EASPORTSFIFA#FIFA21 stats loading now!”, with his rating and attributes shown in his tweet below.

The AC Milan defender’s overall rating has been increased significantly, with his base gold card being upgraded from 76 to 80 overall in comparison to his FIFA 20 Ultimate Team rating.

But that wasn’t all, because Portugal international Joao Felix’s new FIFA 21 Ultimate Team rating has also been circulating on social media, with Twitter user FUTRory ‘leaking’ the striker’s rating and attributes.

If his above rating and attributes are correct, that would mean Felix has been given a modest upgrade of plus one overall, with his FIFA 20 Ultimate Team base gold card rated at 80 overall last year.

The official FIFA 21 ratings reveal will happen at 4pm UK time later today, so we’ll have to wait and see if these ratings are correct. Many fans are hoping that the full top 100 ratings are revealed later today, but nothing has been confirmed yet.

EA have confirmed that FIFA 21 has an official UK and worldwide release date of October 9, 2020, but some editions will allow you to play FIFA 21 slightly earlier than this.

If you pre-order the FIFA 21 Ultimate Edition or Champions Edition on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC you’ll be able to play from October 6, 2020, with the Standard Edition allowing fans to play from the game’s official UK and worldwide release date of October 9, 2020.
