Jesus Gamez: 76

Javier Manquillo: 76

DeAndre Yedlin: 73

Paul Dummett: 71

Massadio Haidara: 70

Jamie Sterry: 62

The fact that Javier Manquillo and Jesus Gamez are NUFC's two highest-rated full-backs in FIFA 18 may cause debate. Gamez proved his worth against Swansea City last weekend, but has barely played for Rafa Benitez's side since joining in 2016, while Manquillo has often struggled to produce consistent performers at Premier League level. Gamez is actually two points down from last year's rating, while his fellow Spaniard has declined by one.

He may not be the club's highest-rated right-back, but DeAndre Yedlin will likely occupy most FIFA players' starting lineups. Rated at 73 overall, he comes with a blistering 93 for pace, making him 32 points faster than Gamez, and 17 more than Manquillo.

There are few surprises elsewhere. A deeply mediocre Championship season means Paul Dummett's rating sits at 71, the same as in FIFA 17, while forgotten man Massadio Haidara is at 70. 21-year-old Jamie Sterry is the club's joint lowest rated player at 62, making him a surefire early season sale candidate for Career Mode players.
