In a FIFA ratings system where the common theme has been fundamentally centred around World Cup performances, it speaks volumes about his sheer talent and ability for his high rating considering he never even made it as far as Brazil. Blessed with inexplicable skill and exuberant nonchalance, Zlatan Ibrahimovic struck 41 goals in 45 competitions last season for PSG, including ten in eight Champions League appearances. Despite the fact that he three weeks short of his 33rd birthday and has recently hinted at plans to retire in the immediate future, he has shown no signs of slowing down, and fully merits his extraordinary rating.
3. Arjen Robben - 90
FIFA 14 Rank: 9th
It's a credit to the Dutchman that he has managed to fight against the trend of EA Sports downgrading players and shoving them down the pecking order as soon as they reach the age of 28. Where most players are deemed past their peak and winding down at the EA headquarters, the 30 year old Dutchman has proven that this is simply not the case for his mouth-watering talents. With his treble-winning season in 12/13 having earned him a position in the top 10, the former Chelsea wideman has now finally been accredited with a rating of 90 and is regarded as the best player on the planet outside of the superhuman duo Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi. With 21 goals plundered for Pep Guardiola's side last season, he continued his electric form into the World Cup, as he ravaged opponents on the way to leading Holland to the position of third in the world - paralleling his rating in the new FIFA edition.
