GK. David de Gea

(Club: Manchester United, Rating: 91)

The Spaniard has come back strongly after a tricky first season in England and has established himself as one of the top keepers in the world.

The best goalkeeper in the game, De Gea's highest attribute according to EA for this season is Reflexes (rated 94).

RB. Kyle Walker

(Club: Manchester City, Rating: 84)

The Manchester City full-back might not be in the top 100 rated players of FIFA 19 but is not far away from breaking into it in the future.

Walker, known for his athleticism and tireless running up and down the flank is rated a modest 84 but his Pace (rated 90) is his highest attribute undoubtedly.

RCB. Nicolás Otamendi

(Club: Manchester City, Rating: 86)

<p>

Perhaps a surprisingly high rating for the Argentine but he is one of several players that have improved under Pep Guardiola ever since the Spaniard arrived in England.

The depth in quality at City is high with Otamendi competing with the likes of John Stones, Aymeric Laporte and Vincent Kompany but with Defending (rated 86) he would like to stake his claim as the perfect choice for the extremely physical Premier League.

LCB. Jan Vertonghen

(Club: Tottenham, Rating: 87)

Enter

The ex-Ajax youth product has been one of the most consistent defenders in the Premier League since he arrived on English shores.

Vertonghen's highest attribute is not surprisingly Defending (rated 88).

LB. Marcos Alonso

(Club: Chelsea, Rating: 82)

Alonso might be the lowest-rated member in the team but if he continues his excellent contribution in attack for the Blues, he might receive an even better rating in the future.

Surprisingly, Alonso's best attribute is Defending (rated 80).

CM. N'Golo Kanté

(Club: Chelsea, Rating: 89)

The diminutive Frenchman has had an incredible rise in his career going from the second division of France to being Premier league champion twice in the space of six years.

Kanté's best attribute is also Defending (rated 87).

CM. Paul Pogba

(Club: Manchester United, Rating: 88)

Partnering Kanté in the middle is fellow Frenchman and World cup winner Paul Pogba.

Although we haven't seen the best of the Frenchman in the Premier League yet, he still has very good ratings with the highest being Physical (rated 87).

CAM. Kevin de Bruyne

(Club: Manchester City, Rating: 91)

Enter

A player deemed not good enough by Chelsea, De Bruyne has stormed back onto the world scene with brilliant performances for Manchester City

De Bruyne's best attribute is Passing (rated 92) and there can be no arguments about that.

LW. Eden Hazard

(Club: Chelsea, Rating: 91)

Another Belgian on the list, Hazard is a talisman at Stamford Bridge making over 300 appearances for the Blues and contributing 96 goals and 77 assists during this time since joining in 2012.

Hazard's best attribute is Dribbling (rated 94).

RW. Mohamed Salah

(Club: Liverpool, Rating: 88)

The Egyptian sensation had an unbelievable season last year scoring 44 goals in all competitions in his debut season at Anfield. His incredible form has seen EA increase Salah's rating from 83 at the start of FIFA 18 to 88 for FIFA 19.

Salah's best attribute according to the game is his Pace (Rated 92).

ST. Sergio Agüero

(Club: Manchester City, Rating: 89)

<p>

The 30-year old Argentine is threatening to become one of the best ever foreign players to play in the Premier League.

It is indeed a huge compliment for the striker to be compared to the likes of Cantona, Henry and Bergkamp who graced the English top division in the past.

Agüero has an incredible scoring record for the Cityzens with 207 goals in just 302 appearances for the Manchester club which is why it should be of no surprise that Shooting (rated 89) is his best attribute along with Dribbling (rated 89).
