Like last year, Kylian Mbappé from Paris Saint-Germain is the player with the highest potential OVR (95) in Career Mode, starting the game at 91 OVR—higher than in the last edition. He has the fifth-highest rating of any player in the entire game.

Mbappé is followed by his teammate Gianluigi Donnarumma and Erling Haaland from Borussia Dortmund, both with a 93 potential OVR. Trent Alexander-Arnold from Liverpool, Phil Foden from Manchester City, and Kai Havertz from Chelsea all have a 92 potential OVR.

Donnarumma and Haallad got a higher potential OVR when compared to last year, while Kai Havertz’s is lower. The difference in the normal rating among the selected players is also noticeable. While Mbappé is the fifth-best player in the game, Donnarumma is only in 13th place and Haaland is even lower in 29th place.
