EA's ratings reveal is well underway as we enter day three of the publicity stunt to promote upcoming football game FIFA 15. Rather than reveal the top 50-rated players in the soon-to-be-released title, publishers EA are instead teasing them out 10 at a time, starting with Wednesday's 50th-41st-rated stars. And yesterday another batch of 10 was unveiled as EA released the 40-31st-highest-rated players in '15 - and this is just the beginning. Over the next three days more and more player ratings will be announced until the big one on Sunday - the top 10-rated players on the latest iteration of the popular football simulation game. EA have stated that they're basing their ratings off each player's performances in league AND cup competitions over the last 365 days for their respective clubs, with these scores dictating how their virtual counterparts stack up on '15 - from pace and shooting abilities through to dribbling and physicality. Here, we're going to run through the 10 CONFIRMED player ratings for numbers 40 through to 31 on EA's countdown. It's fair to warn you at this stage that there are a few ridiculous choices here, with FIFA's publishers notorious for missing a sitter, so prepare to be frustrated. Without further ado, here are FIFA 15's latest numbers.
