EA FC 26 PSG ratings: Who rose, who fell, and what it means for fans and players alike

Mbappé stays elite, but he's no longer alone

As expected, Kylian Mbappé remains PSG’s highest-rated player with a massive 91 overall. His pace (97), finishing, and dribbling keep him among the elite in world football. But in EA FC 26, he’s not as isolated at the top.

Ousmane Dembélé has joined the 90 club, marking a significant rise. With 91 pace and 93 dribbling, he’s now one of the most dangerous wingers in the game. His boost is arguably the biggest surprise in the squad and reflects his strong end to last season.

Who gained the most: Vitinha and Dembélé’s surge

Vitinha has received a massive bump to 89 OVR. EA rewarded his improved consistency and versatility, making him one of PSG’s best midfield options for both Career Mode and FUT. With 90 dribbling and 86 passing, he's more than just a rotation player now.

Achraf Hakimi also climbed to 89. His all-around game, combining 92 pace with 82 defense and 79 shooting, makes him one of the best full-backs in the game. Nuno Mendes and Manuel Ugarte also saw mild improvements, reflecting PSG’s youthful shift.

Downgrades: Donnarumma and Ramos fall short

Not everyone came out of EA FC 26 smiling. Gianluigi Donnarumma, who was once one of the highest-rated keepers in the game, saw his overall hold steady at 89—but some fans think even that is generous. His speed (43) and kicking (73) remain weak spots.

Gonçalo Ramos also suffered. Despite some clutch performances, he clocks in at 80 OVR, suggesting EA sees him as a solid but unspectacular option. Lucas Beraldo and other young defenders like Zabarnyi are stuck in the high 70s despite solid displays.

New signings and rising talents make their mark

PSG's rebuild is clearly reflected in this year's ratings. João Neves (85), Désiré Doué (85), and Bradley Barcola (84) all represent the club’s youth-first direction. While these players might lack elite physical stats, their dribbling and pace make them exciting prospects in-game.

Warren Zaïre-Emery, rated 80, is another one to watch. He balances defensive skills (75) with technical ability and could be a Career Mode gem.

Most improved PSG players in EA FC 26 (vs FC 25)

• Vitinha: +5 (from 84 to 89)
• Ousmane Dembélé: +4 (from 86 to 90)
• Bradley Barcola: +3 (from 81 to 84)
• João Neves: +3 (from 82 to 85)
• Désiré Doué: +3 (from 82 to 85)

These increases reflect their growing roles in PSG’s tactical evolution. EA’s ratings team clearly respects PSG’s youth revolution.

Fan reactions: Joy, confusion, and plenty of debate

The reactions from PSG fans have been mixed. On Reddit and X (formerly Twitter), many celebrated Dembélé’s upgrade, calling him "finally usable" and a "meta monster."

Others were more critical. "How is Ramos still only an 80? He carried us in some key games," wrote one fan. Meanwhile, Zaïre-Emery’s 80 was seen as low by those who view him as one of Ligue 1’s top midfielders under 21.

What it means for gameplay

In Ultimate Team, PSG is now more balanced than ever. You can build around Mbappé, but Dembélé, Hakimi, and Vitinha provide real versatility. For Career Mode, PSG has a deep bench of young, high-potential players to develop.

Their five-star team rating ensures they remain a top pick online, but this time, there’s more incentive to play smart rather than rely on a few stars.

Final thoughts: PSG is evolving, and EA took notice

EA FC 26 paints a clear picture of PSG’s new identity: less Galácticos, more growth. The flashy names are fewer, but the talent pool runs deeper. For fans of the game and the club, this year’s ratings are both a validation and a challenge.

Whether you’re planning to dominate FUT Champs or take PSG to European glory in Career Mode, these ratings make one thing clear: this team is fun, flexible, and finally feels like a project worth building.
