Following the conclusion of EA's partnership with FIFA, the latest instalment in the EA Sports FC series is EA Sports FC 24.
With its scheduled worldwide launch on 29 September 2023 on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Windows, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S, one can pardon the excitement.
Already, questions have started flying about what the player ratings would be like.
Which players will get an upgrade? Which players will get a downgrade?
The anticipation is high, with excitement scaling mountain tops. Football gamers can't wait for the next instalment of the game.
They are particularly curious about what the ratings would be like.
The official rating for EA Sports FC 24 may still be secret, but there seems to be a leak.
The latest leak seems to come from FIFA 23 news via reliable leaker FUT Scorecard.
How do Super Eagles stars fare in the EA Sports FC ratings leak?
Traditionally, Super Eagles players are not ranked high in the EA Sports series, but according to the latest leak, two Nigerians are high up in the ratings.
Victor Osimhen is the highest-ranked Super Eagles player. The Napoli star has an overall rating of 88 (+).
It puts him ahead of stars like Manuel Neuer (Bayern Munich) – 87, Heung Min Son (Tottenham) – 87, Luka Modric (Real Madrid) – 87, Martin Odegaard (Arsenal) – 87, Cristiano Ronaldo (Al Nasr) – 86 and Frenkie de Jong (Barcelona) – 87.

Boniface rating on EA Sports FC
Based on the last rankings, Victor Boniface has an overall rating of 74. It is not high, as the in-form Bayer Leverkusen striker is yet to deliver as a player of the German side.
The FIFA 23 ratings show he has a potential of 81. Perhaps when EA Sports FC 24 rolls out, Boniface will see his ratings reflect his current status.
Gift Orban, who has been shining for KAA Gent, is yet to show on the ratings. The young Nigerian, who joined from Stabæk will be in the ratings in the next release.
