Don't worry though, because there's still house room for some old battled-hardened veterans who nonsensically capture EA's attention in 2018.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who plies his trade in MLS for LA Galaxy these days, is still clinging on to his Top 100 bragging rights. He's in at #98, one place below Man City speedster Raheem Sterling. Also, FIFA 17 cover man Marco Reus, despite missing a hefty portion of last season through injury, makes the cut at #90.

The most surprising addition to the list is Man Utd's Nemanja Matic. Yes, the 30-year old hits the heights of #76, which is again above Premier League winner Sterling, Juventus and France midfielder monster Blaise Matuidi and Liverpool's new keeper Alisson.

It's also an absolute tragedy that Champions League winner Marco Asensio is forced to settle for #95 when a more limited player like Matic struts his stuff a full 19 places above him. Positions 100-60 seem like a randomised mishmash of players.
