Complete list of the most skilful players in FIFA 17

Pele tops the list of the most skilful FIFA 17 players

The recently-revealed FIFA 17 top 50 includes names which would not surprise football lovers. While some Premier League stars, including Riyad Mahrez, Harry Kane,  and Jamie Vardy, were left out, there were no surprising inclusions either.

But if you don’t regularly play FIFA, then the list of players in FIFA 17 with five-star rating skills will surely surprise you.

Take Preston North End’s Aiden McGeady for instance. The winger who was loaned from Everton to the Championship outfit for a season on transfer deadline day last year is somebody who can be able to accomplish even the most complicated moves in FIFA 17.

He was a top notch player in FIFA 15 but keeping in mind that the Irishman was not included in Sheffield Wednesday’s squad for the Championships’ playoffs last season, even the FIFA fanatics may be stunned that he has kept his star rating. Lionel Messi doesn’t feature in the list as FIFA has not given him a 5 star rating. It’s quite surprising considering the fact that the likes Yannick Bolasie from Everton have also achieved this feat. 

But while one five-star man bids goodbye to Goodison Park, another enters it; Congolese winger Yannick Bolasie, a summer capture from Crystal Palace, has now made an entry to the elite club.

Here's the complete list of the game's most skilful players*, along with their overall ratings.
