EA releases the 10 best FIFA 23 women footballers' cards as Barcelona star Putellas beats Chelsea's Kerr
EA has released the top 10 list of FIFA 23 women's footballer cards and headliner Same Kerr of Chelsea has been out-rated by Barcelona star midfielder, Alexia Putellas.
With the first game in the franchise to feature women's domestic leagues, the last game under the FIFA banner is gearing up to be quite the spectacle — especially with added quirks such as Ted Lasso being added to the title. With Barclays Women's Super League and Division 1 Arkema being fully licensed for FIFA 23, players will have more options to choose from in women's football.
FIFA 23 will have some interesting new features in-game such as Hypermotion 2, Power Shots, and new mechanics in the Career Mode which seek to enhance realism. As the release date creeps closer, let's take a look at the top 10 women footballers in the game.
Top 10 women footballers' ratings in FIFA 23
With women's clubs available for the first time in the franchise, these ratings are freshly minted and cannot be used to talk about upgrades.
- Vivanne Miedema 89
- Christiane Endler 89
- Caroline Graham Hansen 90
- Alex Morgan 90
- Lucy Bronze 90
- Ada Hgerberg 91
- Wendie Renard 91
- Sam Kerr 91
- Alexia Putellas 92
With a whopping rating of 92, Putellas is ahead of the competition with a solid one-point average. The 92-rated Barcelona center-midfielder has the highest in-game rating for a player when compared to even men's football ratings. The highest-rated men in the game this year are Karim Benzema, Kylian Mbappe, Lionel Messi, Robert Lewandowski, and Kevin de Bruyne — all of whom have 91-rated player cards.
Sam Kerr is the headliner for FIFA 23 along with Frenchman Mbappe, and both of them share a 91-rated card. The Chelsea striker is highly agile with some good stats across the board.
Keen-eyed fans might have noticed that the player cards for the women are slightly different than the men's. While the in-depth stats such as acceleration, sprint speed, weak foot, and other features of the like seem to be similar, the main stats on the card appear to be different. Whatever the case, Putellas and Kerr will be top choices in the women's teams.
Instead of pace, dribbling, shooting, passing, and other ratings, we have agility, crossing, finishing, heading accuracy, reactions, and stamina as the main stats. If there is a glitch, FIFA is yet to fix it. It should also be noted that the player cards in themselves appear to have not been released.
FIFA 23 will be released on September 30, with Ultimate Edition owners getting access three days early. The newly added women's teams and leagues will be playable across game modes such as Kick Off, Online Seasons, Co-Op Seasons, Online Friendlies, and Tournament modes.
