The Arsenal player ratings for FIFA 23 have been revealed ahead of the game’s release on 30 September 2022. 

The Gunners’ impressive 2021/22 season has seen their players rewarded by EA with 13 squad members earning upgrades from FIFA 22.

Following the January departure of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, midfielder Thomas Partey is now Arsenal’s highest-rated player (84), with the Ghanaian earning a +1 upgrade from last year.

Martin Odegaard (83), Gabriel Jesus (83), Bukayo Saka (82), and Aaron Ramsdale (82) round out Arsenal’s top five highest-rated players on FIFA 23 Ultimate Team. Ramsdale, who was just 74-rated in FIFA 22, has garnered one of the highest upgrades in the game following his debut season in north London.

Here are the Arsenal FIFA 23 player ratings in full.

Returning defender William Saliba has earned a healthy +5 upgrade from FIFA 22 and is now 80-rated. Fabio Vieira has also been upgraded from a 72-rated silver card to a 77-rated gold. Strangely, Oleksandr Zinchenko has been downgraded from an 80 to a 79, but he is just one of four Arsenal players to be downgraded from FIFA 22.

Why Eddie Nketiah has been dropped from a 74 to a 73 I do not know. I’m sure he’ll be one of several players to earn an upgrade in the winter.
