The ratings for Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo in EA FC 24 have been leaked, though they should be taken with caution. While the EAFC beta does display stats for both players, EA has mentioned these may change. Nonetheless, we have a fairly accurate projection of how Messi and Ronaldo's ratings might appear in the new FIFA 24.
Shocking rating leaks for Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi are making the rounds via Twitter (alias X). Some have even taken these leaks at face value, asserting their credibility.
We're here to explain why these proposed ratings have only induced laughter in our office – and how their stats could actually look like.
- Latest Leak: New Messi & Ronaldo Ratings Confirmed
EA Sports FC 24 Rating Leak "Reveals" Stats For Messi And Ronaldo
A completely irrelevant Twitter account (with fewer than 200 followers) randomly created two FUT cards for Messi and Ronaldo. Both of them got significant rating downgrades. This prompted some websites to publish those cards, presenting the ratings as a realistic leak.

The creator even used the old FIFA 23 card design, which leaves us shaking our heads in disbelief. EA FC 24, which is set to replace the FIFA series and will be released
instead of FIFA 24, it will feature a completely different design with a brand-new pack animation.
Ronaldo And Messi Ratings In EA FC 24
Yes, Messi and Ronaldo will receive downgrades. This is justified as both players are no longer in their prime and are approaching their 40s. Our rating predictions also say that their dominance is over once and for all.
However, downgrading Ronaldo from an 90 to an 83 rating would make no sense whatsoever. Even if it's only the Saudi Arabian league, the man has scored his goals and impressed in international matches as well.
In FIFA 23, the standard gold card of the Portuguese megastar was very high demanded for quite a while. At the height of the Lengthy meta domination, CR7's was the player with the most goals in FUT. So, don't worry: Ronaldo will once again receive a top-tier version in EA FC 24 Ultimate Team. Promise!
But we can expect a major pace downgrade for both GOATS The two superstars are no longer the youngest and are gradually losing pace. And pace will continue to be an important factor for the meta in EA FC 24.
We won't spend more time on the very dubious leak. The account has never had anything to do with FIFA leaks, so it's surprising that some people simply believe these cards and their stats. Instead, we sat down and had a long discussion about what the ratings for Messi and Ronaldo could actually look like in EA FC 24.
EA Sports FC: Lionel Messi Rating Prediction
| STATS | FIFA 23 | EA FC 24 |
| Pace | 81 | 77 |
| Shooting | 89 | 87 |
| Passing | 90 | 88 |
| Dribbling | 94 | 92 |
| Defending | 34 | 33 |
| Physical | 64 | 60 |
| OVR | 91 | 90 |
Messi will experience a slight decrease in all attributes. It's somewhat painful to witness childhood heroes gradually nearing the end of their careers... But hopefully, in terms of standard and long-distance shots, he will remain a real weapon in EA FC 24.
94TH-MINUTE WINNER.

Ronaldo's ratings will also continue to decline. But as long as we can still Siuuu after having scored with him, we're happy! And should he one day end his glorious career, of course we'd like to see him ASAP as an addition to the new FUT Icons. Of course.
The EA FC 24 beta is live and shows stats from EA for both of them. Messi received only a -1 adjustment to his pace compared to FIFA 23, with the rest of his stats remaining unchanged. On the other hand, Ronaldo's stats have seen notable changes. While these figures are still subject to adjustments, our predictions for Ronaldo seem to be close...
