EA Sports FC ratings leaked - Newcastle United star ‘done dirty’ with huge downgrade
EA Sports FC 26 releases on September 26 and “in the know” accounts have already begun leaking Newcastle United’s player ratings.
The Premier League juices are flowing after the opening three games of the season. For avid gamers, this means one thing: another edition of EA Sports FC is just weeks away.
Those of an older persuasion had FIFA as the household title that caused broken controllers galore from 1993 to 2022. EA ultimately decided not to renew their official license three years ago but the game remains de facto the same under a different banner.
Mid-September is usually where the drama starts as the ratings begin to drop ahead of the official launch. Players who enjoyed stellar campaigns last year can expect a boost, while others may be fearing the worst…

X user @Fut_Scoreboard has already begun leaking the ratings, with several Newcastle United stars receiving an impressive upgrade. NewcastleWorld has profiled the list in full - and can guarantee one member of Eddie Howe’s squad will not be happy.
Newcastle United ratings
Ironically - and perhaps unsurprisingly - Newcastle ’s highest-rated player no longer represents the club. Alexander Isak finally got his deadline-day move to Liverpool after a summer-long saga.
The Swede is set to be given an 88 rating - three higher than last year. Unfortunately, his Ultimate Team card will don the Liverpool crest once the game launches, much to the frustration and anger of Toon supporters.
As for those still on Tyneside, Bruno Guimaraes and Sandro Tonali - both ranked 86 - are Newcastle’s best players. The midfield duo have earned a deserved +1 upgrade for their efforts last season.
Anthony Gordon is the next highest at 83, followed by Joelinton, Sven Botman and Fabian Schar (all 82). Jacob Murphy will enjoy a +5 increase to become an 81-rated winger after his 23 goal contributions in 2024-25.
Astonishingly, Kieran Trippier has been done dirty with an 80 rating. That is despite the retired England international starring for Newcastle on their Carabao Cup and Champions League qualification run.
