Fifa 18 Top 10 Best Midfielders: Ronaldo, Messi and Neymar top EA's list

Fifa 18 is nearing release, which means footy fans will already be planning their starting line-up for the game's Ultimate Team online competition.

EA Sports has revealed the Top 100 rated players in the game, and from that we've assembled a top 10 list of the best-ranked midfielders in Fifa 18.

Below you will find the absolute best of the best, ranked from 1-10, alongside each player's stats for pace (PAC), shooting (SHO), passing (PAS), dribbling (DRI), defending (DEF) and physicality (PHY).

As expected, Real Madrid's Cristiano Ronaldo, Barcelona's Lionel Messi, and PSG's mega-money signing Neymar top the list once again, but there are a few new members of the top ten club this time around in Chelsea's Eden Hazard, Bayern Munich's Toni Kroos, Arsenal's Alexis Sánchez, and Juventus' Paulo Dybala.

We have also rounded-up the top ten goalkeepers here, the top ten defenders here, and the top ten strikers here.

Fifa 18 launches on 29 September on Xbox One, PS4, Nintendo Switch and PC.
