Their defensive stats are never going to be very high and if you put either in goal, they’d be awful. I understand Messi and Ronaldo are not perfect players. If we’re going to rank players on a 1-99 scale, the best players of all time should at the very least be 97-98, if not 99 every single year. In EA Sports’ view, the two best players in the history of the game are not worthy of the highest rating in the game. In FIFA 21, Messi is a 93 and Ronaldo a 92. Looking back at the last 12 years of EA Sports’ video game behemoth (from FIFA 10 to the upcoming FIFA 21), neither Messi nor Ronaldo has ever been rated above 94. So why then, if FIFA rates players on a 99-point scale, are Messi and Ronaldo not ranked 98 or 99 every year? We don’t need to go over all of their accolades because we’ve all watched them excel for the last 15 years. It’s Ronaldo, Messi, Maradona and Pelé, end of story. While their talents vary - Ronaldo has insane raw power to go with his technical skills while Messi is more serene and can create magic with the ball - there are only a handful of players in the history of the game who can match their abilities. His shot power is rated at 94, and Long Shot at 93.Whether you’re Team Messi, Team Ronaldo or Team They’re Both Friggin’ Awesome, there’s no denying how great these players are. Despite being 35, Ronaldo's FIFA 21 card possesses some of the best-attacking stats in the game, with 95 each in Finishing, Attacking Position and Reaction. In the recently released FIFA 21, Ronaldo has a 92-rated base card, playing as a striker. Messi has nine, while Ronaldo has eight.Īlso Read | Cristiano Ronaldo's Move To PSG Not Ruled Out Completely By PSG Director: Report Cristiano Ronaldo FIFA ratings Lionel Messi is also ahead of Cristiano Ronaldo when it comes to the number of 98-rated cards in the game. The 33-year-old also had five 99-rated cards in the last two editions of the game. While Lionel Messi is behind Ronaldo in this metric, the Barcelona captain is the only player to earn three 99-rated cards in one year. His position in the cards has also undergone a change to match with his position on the pitch, starting at left-wing and finishing as a striker.

Eight of them came during his time with Real Madrid, while two came with Juventus. Most of Cristiano's 99-rated cards have been 'Team of the Year' and 'Team of the Season' cards.
