FIFA 18: 9 Things We Already Know

4. Cristiano Ronaldo Will Be The Best Player

You don't become one of football's biggest and best players by lacking self-confidence, and it's likely Cristiano Ronaldo would be furious to find out he wasn't the greatest FIFA 18 has to offer. CR7 is on the cover after all, so it makes sense to imagine Real Madrid's centrepiece will be the game's best overall player in all categories.

All of EA's hype for the title has focused on Ronaldo. Prepare yourselves for a doting opening video package that introduces core gameplay elements of the game and generally fawns over the Portuguese striker like he's the second coming of Jesus Christ himself. Why not? EA will have spent a lot of money to secure Ronaldo's likeness.

Ronaldo received a 94 rating in FIFA 17, and that will rise this year. Over at Barcelona, Messi has continually been finding the net, so his rating may increase too. If that's the case, then Cristiano will demand that he outshines his chief rival for the coveted 'Best In The World' position.
