Liverpool has six representatives in the top 50 ranked players on EA Sports FC 26 after the overall ratings were leaked — with Mohamed Salah and Kylian Mbappe joint-top.
The Egyptian and the Real Madrid ace are both rated at 91, while Virgil van Dijk is narrowly behind at 90. The Liverpool captain and center-back is level with Erling Haaland, Ousmane Dembele, Jude Bellingham, and Rodri.
There are 13 players who are rated at 89, including Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson Becker. He is level with German playmaker Florian Wirtz, plus a variety of other stars, including Barcelona wonderkid Lamine Yamal.
Also rated 89 are: Federico Valverde, Thibaut Courtois, Vinicius Junior (all Real Madrid), Joshua Kimmich, Harry Kane (both Bayern Munich), Pedri, Raphinha (both Barcelona), Achraf Hakimi and Vitinha (both PSG), and Gianluigi Donnarumma (Manchester City).
Alexander Isak comes in the next group — 88 rated. He is alongside Bukayo Saka and Gabriel (both Arsenal), Lautaro Martinez (Inter), Jamal Musiala (Bayern Munich), Robert Lewandowski (Barcelona), and Jan Oblak (Atletico Madrid).
Mac Allister is rated at 87. The Argentine is joined by Yann Sommer, Alessandro Bastoni, Nicolo Barella (both Inter), David Raya, William Saliba, Viktor Gyokeres, Martin Odegaard, Declan Rice (all Arsenal).
Also rated at 87 are: Mike Maignon (AC Milan), Jonathan Tah (Bayern Munich), Jules Kounde, Frenkie de Jong (both Barcelona), Victor Osimhen (Galatasaray), Marquinhos, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia (both PSG), Serhou Guirassy (Borussia Dortmund), Cole Palmer, Moises Caicedo (both Chelsea), Kevin De Bruyne (Napoli), Bruno Fernandes (Manchester United), and Julian Alvarez (Atletico Madrid).
Former Liverpool defender Trent Alexander-Arnold, who joined Real Madrid this summer, squeezes into the top 50 as well. He is rated at 86.
Arne Slot's side has undergone plenty of changes in the transfer market this summer, with more than $500M committed on incomings (albeit with around half of that brought back in via sales).
And former Liverpool midfielder Didi Hamann believes that should set the Reds up nicely for the future — when at some point, they will have to work out how to move forward without Salah.

"I think the most important thing is to look at the team goals," Hamann told Coin Poker. "How many did they score last season? 86 goals in the Premier League.
"If the team scores more goals than last season, then everyone's a winner. It's often better anyway to share the goals around. In Hugo Ekitike, and now in Alexander Isak and Florian Wirtz, they will share the goals around.
"Even if Mohamed Salah gets double figures from open play, which he's well capable of, I think he still has a tremendous impact for the team."
Liverpool.com says: Ryan Gravenberch should be up there with Mac Allister when it comes to his rating and Cody Gakpo and Milos Kerkez might be one day, but the Reds players can't complain too much about how they have fared.
