FIFA 15: 10 More CONFIRMED Player Ratings

1. Thibaut Courtois (86)

Finally we come to Thibaut Courtois, who has also seen an increase in rating from last year's game, leaping from 84 to 86. Again, you have to say this is pretty much spot on. Thibaut has been immense over the last 12 months and has made himself a reputation as one of the best goalkeepers in world football during his three loan spells with Atletico Madrid. Courtois had the lowest "goals-to-games" ratio of any goalkeeper in La Liga last season, winning the Ricardo Zamora Trophy for his exploits as his shutouts helped Atletico win their first Spanish title since 1996, while he also excelled in his club's run to the Champions League final, playing against parent-club Chelsea in the semi-finals and making a series of sublime saves. His performances in that game persuaded the Blues to bring him back to Stamford Bridge and he has since usurped Petr Cech as No.1 this season. Coincidentally, the only gripe we have with this score is that Courtois is only considered to be one point better off than Cech, so you could actually make the case for the youngster to get an even higher rating. So, we've seen the 31 highest-rated players in FIFA 15. To recap, here they are, below. What do you think about EA's reveal so far? Are they getting it right?
