Liverpool continue to possess one of the best squads in European football despite multiple top stars confirmed to have been downgraded for the upcoming FIFA 22 game.
Currently, the official ratings of only four Liverpool players have been released, with the likes of Alisson Becker, Sadio Mane, Mohammed Salah, and Virgil Van Dijk all being downgraded to overalls of 89. According to rumors, Liverpool will have a total of 13 players rated at least 80.
Additionally, they still have the best full-back duo globally, with Trent Alexander-Arnold and Andy Robertson rumored to be rated 87 in FIFA 22.
Liverpool FIFA 22 player ratings: How good a squad do the Reds have?
As expected, the likes of Alisson, Van Dijk, Salah, and Mane have all been downgraded after ending last season trophyless. The former two were downgraded to 89 from overalls of 91, while Salah and Mane got -1 downgrades from their 90 overalls in FIFA 21.
The two full-backs are the joint second-highest rated players in the Liverpool squad, followed by the likes of Fabinho and Thiago, both rated 86. Roberto Firmino and Jordan Henderson round off the top five highest ratings in the team, at 85 and 84, respectively.
Joel Matip (82), Diego Jota (82), Joe Gomez (80), and $75 million midfielder Naby Keita (80) are the other players who have a rating of at least 80 for Liverpool this year.
The overall rankings can be seen below (apart from the first four, the rest are leaked ratings):
Top 4
1) Mohammed Salah (RW) - 89
Mohammed Salah is probably the best Egyptian football player of all time. Salah registered an overall dip in offensive output last season, and has as a result been downgraded from 90 to 89.
2) Sadio Mane (LW) – 89
All of Liverpool’s best players have been slightly downgraded after their trophyless season last time around. Mane has also received a slight downgrade and is no longer a 90-rated player in FIFA.
3) Allisson Becker (GK) - 89
One of the best keepers in the world, Allisson Becker also had an overall of 90 in FIFA 21. This year, he is the joint second-best goalkeeper in the game after the likes of Andre Ter-Stegen and Atletico’s Jan Oblak. PSG’s Gianluigi Donnarumma also has an overall of 89 in FIFA 21.
4) Virgil Van Dijk (CB) - 89
Virgil Van Dijk had an injury-ravaged campaign and featured in only four games in the English Premier League last season. As a result, he has been given a slight downgrade and is rated 89 in FIFA 22.
The rest:
- Trent Alexander Arnold - 87
- Fabinho – 86
- Thiago – 86
- Roberto Firmino – 85
- Jordan Henderson – 84
- Joel Matip – 82
- Diego Jota – 82
- Joe Gomez – 82
- Naby Keita – 80
- James Milner – 79
- Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain – 79
- Ibrahima Konaté – 78
The lack of trophies and a third-place finish in the English Premier League last season has led to a slight downgrade in overall player ratings as far as the Liverpool squad is concerned. Regardless, they have a range of world-class players and were unlucky with Virgil Van Dijk’s injury troubles last season.
