John Brooks tops USMNT FIFA 18 Ratings

It’s that time of the year. Every soccer video game fan’s favorite week, it’s FIFA release week! FIFA 18 is either already out or on the verge of coming out, depending on the version of the game you purchased. As is customary for us here at SSFC, it’s time to take a look at the all the relevant American players in the game and how they’ve been rated by EA Sports this year.

John Brooks is the highest rated American player this year. His 80 rating at center back is enough to top the list as the perennial stars of yesteryear like Clint Dempsey and Tim Howard have dropped down. The top three highest rated Americans this year play in the Bundesliga as Fabian Johnson at 79 and Christian Pulisic at 78 follow on the list.
