The top 23 players in the highly-anticipated FIFA 23 video game have now been announced by EA Sports as the countdown begins to the end of an era.
For 30 years, EA Sports and FIFA have partnered for the popular series, but FIFA 23 will be the final edition of the game under its current name before the two parties go their separate ways.
The full game is due to be released on September 30, but for the next couple of weeks, the top 100 rated players in the game will be drip-fed to fans by EA Sports.
After confirming the ratings for their ambassadors - including the likes of Jude Bellingham and Jack Grealish - EA Sports have now revealed the top-23 rated players in the game.
Here, Sports Mole counts down the list of the top 23 players and compares the elite crowd to their statistics from FIFA 22.
