Lionel Messi retains his status as the best player on FIFA this year, keeping the 94 rating that EA gave to him for FIFA 15. Cristiano Ronaldo has edged up to a 93 card, but the little Argentinian's amazing season last year - both individually and for his club - makes him a deserved winner.

You all know the story. Messi is out of this world good, and the likelihood is that not too many of us will be able to use him on Ultimate Team. He'll cost far too much.

Although, draft mode has been introduced this year. So if you're lucky enough to get Messi there, make the most of him.

Does Lionel Messi deserve to be the highest rated player on FIFA 16? Let us know with your comments!
