EA Sports has released a list of the Top 50
players in FIFA 14 and FIFA 14: Ultimate
Team, and has surprisingly ranked Gareth
Bale – the world's most expensive footballer
– at No.17 with a rating of 87.
Besides Bale's placement, the list is pretty
much what you'd expect with Messi and
Ronaldo taking the top two spots with
ratings of 94 and 92, respectively.
Arsenal's new signing Mesut Özil takes 18th
place with an 87 rating.
Here's how Real Madrid's new signing
compares to Ronaldo.
