With FIFA 18 pretty much dead and buried now, all football fans will surely have their eyes turned to EA Sports’ FIFA 19. The next game in EA’s ‘FIFA’ franchise is set to come out late next month as per Goal, and despite the demo not being available yet, some fans have already got their hands on the player ratings for some of the world’s biggest stars.

Real Madrid Fifa 19 ratings LEAKED pic.twitter.com/6YHEvvw238 — sic (@realftmadrid) August 24, 2018 As per the above tweet, stars like Luka Modric, who was 88 rated last year, and Sergio Ramos, who was 90 rated on FIFA 18, have both received boosts for this year’s version of the game. However, one player rating that should surprise every football fan if Raphael Varane’s, as EA have somehow decided that he is only worthy of being an 86. Although this means that he has received a boost on his 85 rated last year, some fans will surely be confused as to how a player who has won the Champions League, La Liga and the World Cup these past few years can only be rated 86. Time will tell if these ratings are going to be implemented into the final game, however for now, it looks like EA may have some angry fans knocking on their door if these ratings, especially Varane’s, are anything to by.<doc-sep>Real Madrid without Ronaldo is a bit like Saturday morning's sausage sandwich without brown sauce, and I will fight anyone who disagrees me on this, but now we know what FIFA 19's sausage sandwich will look like, or something. I've said this a lot on articles to do with Real Madrid, Cristiano Ronaldo and Juventus this summer but I really mean it and it needs repeating. Real Madrid without Cristiano Ronaldo still seems a bit strange to me. It's not quite like Steven Gerrard spending 17 years as a Liverpool first teamer before moving to LA Galaxy but Cristiano Ronaldo's nine years at Real saw him become almost as synonymous with Los Blancos as Gerrard was with the Reds. Loading… Advert 10 Furthermore Ronaldo hasn't moved to the MLS or to the Chinese Super League instead he's move to Juventus, one of the biggest clubs in the world whose results we check on every week and we often watch. Meanwhile at the Bernabeu their lead scorer of all time has waltzed out the building and they're yet to replace his 40 goals a season with any new attacking signings, that just seems odd. However things aren't actually looking too shoddy for Julen Lopetegui and his side, as is demonstrated by the FIFA 19 rankings for Real's starting XI: Real Madrid. Image: Twitter Advert 10 Gareth Bale will be hoping that he can take over from Cristiano Ronaldo as Real's go to man, now that the man he was always expected to take over from has sod off, but despite an excellent 88 rating he's still not Real's numero uno attacker. Instead that honour falls to Isco. The Spain midfielder is Real's best attacker with 89, although he's still outdone by three players in the team, including the goalkeeper. Thibaut Courtois, newly signed from Chelsea, has a 90 rating, as does Germany midfielder Toni Kroos but World Cup Golden Ball winner Luka Modric is their best player on 91. Modric was the best player at the World Cup. Image: PA Advert 10 Of course those are all decent numbers for the Real players but a quick look across to Juventus' player ratings show that Ronaldo is still the man: Ronaldo is rated 94.

They will not be final until EA Sports releases the full version on September 25, but fans will still be keen to discuss their accuracy - with the ratings always dividing opinion. Manchester United, Manchester City, PSG, Borussia Dortmund, Bayern Munich, Atletico Madrid, Tottenham Hotspur and Juventus will be available to users on the demo. Cristiano Ronaldo, newly-acquired by Juventus for £88m from Real Madrid and this year's cover star, has retained his 94 rating. While the other cover star for the 'Champions Edition' of the game, Neymar, will come in at 92 once more. (Image: EA Sports) (Image: AFP) There are upgrades elsewhere though, with Kevin De Bruyne, David De Gea and Luka Modric all slotting in just behind the Brazilian on 91. Harry Kane is another big riser, alongside Isco, with both rising by three to join Paulo Dybala and Antoine Griezmann on 89. One of the stars of the World Cup, Kylian Mbappe, is just 87, with Romelu Lukaku and Alexis Sanchez.

Fifa 19 is nearly upon us. Fans of the game have been patiently waiting for the latest edition of the famous franchise and it's just over a month until it lands. There's already been a shed load of announcements detailing some serious in-game improvements, with players now allowed to actually change the rules of matches against their friends. The 'lounge mode' means you could play a game with no offside rule for example, or where only long-shot goals count. But the real news that everyone wants is the new and updated player ratings. Every year EA Sports' ranking system sparks mass debate. And the debates have already begun after the player ratings for the upcoming demo - which is released on September 11 - were leaked. Real Madrid are one of the teams involved in the demo and their numbers will certainly cause a bit of a stir. You can see them in all their beauty below. REAL MADRID'S PLAYER RATINGS FOR FIFA 19 DEMO The big talking point has to be the rankings for Real's attackers. Gareth Bale comes in at 88, one down from last year, while Isco gets a huge boost to 89. A very brave decision from EA. Karim Benzema gets a serious downgrade to 84, with Marco Asensio actually one higher than the Frenchman at 85. Maybe Benzema's five goals in all competitions last season really did do a lot damage... Raphael Varane can feel pretty hard done by at 86, five lower than Sergio Ramos. New signing Thibaut Courtois, Toni Kroos and Luka Modric all deservedly break the 90 mark. It does seem weird, though, looking at a Real Madrid team on Fifa without the presence of Cristiano Ronaldo. Juventus' new man looks like he will keep his 94 rating, with Paulo Dybala being pushed up to 89 and Douglas Costa coming in at 86. Real and Juve look like the teams to be in online season matches.
