Arsenal just won Premier League title in May, so their ratings in EA FC 27 this September are naturally on everyone’s mind. Winning the title certainly deserves a higher rating, but who should rise and who should fall is a matter of debate, ultimately it comes down to on-field performance. Let’s break down which Arsenal players will see an increase in their OVR in FC 27 with IGGM.com!
Players Whose OVR Remains Unchanged
First, let’s take a look at the Arsenal players whose overall ratings are unlikely to change in FIFA 27.
Jurriën Timber
While Jurriën Timber has also been plagued by injuries, he proved his ability last season. Even with another injury at the end of the season, he should still be recognized with an 86 OVR in FIFA 27.
Considering Jurriën Timber’s performance when healthy, players who want to acquire this right-back in Ultimate Team will probably need to prepare a considerable amount of EA FC coins.
Meslier
Regarding new signings, Meslier is expected to maintain his 72 OVR in FC 27. While his transfer to a top club might bring a slight halo effect, it won’t be enough to change his base OVR.
Bukayo Saka
In the forward line, IGGM.com believes that Bukayo Saka will likely maintain his OVR at 88 in September.
Martin Ødegaard
And in midfield, Martin Ødegaard is expected to maintain his previous OVR of 87. While there has been controversy surrounding his rating decline, a consistent rating is generally fairer to him.
Players Whose OVR May Rise
Christos Tzolis
Christos Tzolis, who joined from Club Brugge, earned a significant transfer in his career thanks to his outstanding season. He is expected to get an 82 OVR in the game, a reasonable affirmation of his potential.
It is worth noting that changes in OVR often affect the funds required to acquire these players on the transfer market.
Therefore, IGGM.com recommends that you stay informed about potential OVR changes for your target players in advance, ensuring you have enough FUT 27 coins ready to add them to your squad as soon as possible.
David Raya
Although David Raya unfortunately missed out on World Cup winning squad, IGGM.com believes that his ability still surpasses that of his country’s goalkeepers against their rivals, and with his achievement of winning Golden Glove Award for three consecutive seasons, we can boldly predict that his OVR in the game will rise to 89.
Declan Rice
Next, we’ll discuss a world-class midfielder – Declan Rice – second only to Rodri. He should receive a new OVR of 90 this September to reflect his leading position among players in his position of Premier League and globally.
Gabriel and Saliba
The central defensive pairing of Gabriel and Saliba are both likely to receive an OVR of 89 in FUT 27. The former has had a wonderful season, while the latter performed excellently in the World Cup and has an age advantage.
Mikel Merino and Piero Hincapié
Meanwhile, because Mikel Merino and Piero Hincapié have both performed well this season, we predict they will both rise to 84 OVR.
Riccardo Calafiori
Riccardo Calafiori is a formidable player when fit, so he is expected to have an OVR of 83 in FC 27.
Lewis-Skelly
Young star Lewis-Skelly, having moved to central midfield, is likely to see his OVR rise from 78 to 80 in the game.
Gabriel Martinelli
Given Gabriel Martinelli’s recent performances in major competitions, his overall rating (OVR) could see a slight increase from 81 to 82.
Kai Lukas Havertz
Although Kai Lukas Havertz has been plagued by injuries, we still believe his OVR in FC 27 deserves to be raised to 83, because no one can deny his contributions to Arsenal in crucial moments.
Players likely to see rating upgrades will probably also see their market values rise when the new version launches in September. To successfully sign players in the transfer market and quickly assemble your starting lineup, you’d better buy FC 27 coins at IGGM.com in advance to prepare for potential price increases!
Players Potentially Faced Downgrades
Of course, some Arsenal players may face the risk of their OVR being downgraded in EA Sports FC 27.
Kepa Arrizabalaga
Kepa Arrizabalaga’s poor performance in FIFA World Cup Final and recent Friendlies is expected to remain at 79 OVR, as there’s no reason for an increase.
Viktor Gyökeres
As for Viktor Gyökeres, our analysis suggests that his move from Portuguese League to English Premier League was rushed due to limited space and playing time, preventing him from fully replicating his previous stellar performances. Therefore, our prediction has been lowered from 87 OVR to 86 OVR.
Benjamin White
IGGM.com also regrets that Benjamin White, due to injuries and fluctuating form, will likely have his OVR reduced from 83 to 82 in the game.
Gabriel Jesus
Gabriel Jesus, due to a decline in performance, will undoubtedly see a drop in his rating – from 80 OVR to 79 OVR.
Top Players
IGGM.com believes there is room for discussion regarding the final ratings of some of Arsenal’s top players.
Declan Rice is perhaps the only player in the team who can break the 90 OVR mark, because he is indeed recognized as a top midfielder in Premier League and even globally.
Other key players, such as Gabriel, Saka, and Saliba, should generally remain in the 88-89 OVR range, not yet reaching the absolute dominance level of 90 OVR.
Although the above predictions are not the final results for EA FC 27, each player’s performance is visible to everyone, and IGGM.com believes they will receive fair ratings!
