When EA Sports released the official database for FC 27, the virtual pitch got a new king on the right flank. Lamine Yamal, the 19-year-old Barcelona wonderkid, has been crowned the highest-rated right winger in the game, with a 90 overall rating. It's a fitting tribute to a player who has already redefined what we expect from a wide attacker in real life.
Yamal doesn't stand alone at the summit. He shares the top spot with Bayern Munich's Michael Olise, who also boasts a 90 rating. But while their overall numbers are identical, their playing styles in the game are anything but. Yamal is built for isolation plays—cutting inside onto his left foot, leaving defenders in the dust. Olise, on the other hand, is a wide orchestrator, with 94 vision and 89 passing that make him a playmaker's dream.
Elite dribbling and a new standard for wingers
Yamal's virtual card is a statement. His 93 dribbling is the highest among all right-sided attackers in FC 27, a number that screams "get the ball to him and get out of the way." Combined with 87 passing, 84 shooting, and 86 pace, he's the complete package for Ultimate Team builders who want a winger who can do it all. Whether you're weaving through traffic or threading a pass to a striker, Yamal's digital avatar delivers.
This isn't just about stats—it's about how Yamal's rise mirrors his real-world trajectory. From his breakout at Barcelona to becoming a global superstar, his virtual dominance feels earned. For fans who've watched him torment defenders in La Liga, seeing him do the same in FC 27 is a joy.
The rest of the top tier
Behind Yamal and Olise, the competition is fierce. Liverpool's Mohamed Salah sits at 87 overall, still a force at 34. Bukayo Saka of Arsenal also checks in at 87, proving that the right flank is stacked with world-class talent. Rising stars like Désiré Doué and Rayan Cherki are close behind at 86, while players like Antoine Semenyo, Bryan Mbeumo, and Arda Güler round out the elite group.
What's interesting is how the game's ratings reflect different footballing cultures. Yamal's style is pure Barcelona—technical, quick, and decisive. Olise brings a more structured, European approach. And Salah, the Egyptian King, remains a relentless scorer. It's a reminder that the right wing is a melting pot of styles, much like the diverse footballing traditions across the Americas and Europe.
For Latino fans, Yamal's rise is particularly special. He's the pride of Spain's new generation, but his roots connect to the broader Latin footballing world. His success in FC 27 is a nod to the global appeal of Latino flair, something we've seen in LaLiga's top forwards and in the ongoing Ballon d'Or debate.
The full top 15 list includes a mix of established stars and emerging talents. Yan Diomande, with 93 pace, is a speedster to watch. John McGinn brings a different skill set, with high physicality and defending. And Giuliano Simeone, son of Diego Simeone, shows promise with 92 pace. It's a diverse group that offers something for every play style.
EA Sports has clearly put thought into making each player feel unique. Yamal's 93 dribbling makes him the go-to for players who love to take on defenders. Olise's vision makes him ideal for those who prefer to create chances. And for those who like a more direct approach, Salah and Saka offer reliable finishing.
As the FC 27 community dives into Ultimate Team, the debate over who's the best right winger will rage on. But for now, Yamal stands at the top, a symbol of the new generation's dominance. His virtual card is a testament to his real-world brilliance, and for fans of the beautiful game, that's something to celebrate.
