EA FC27 Ratings Reveal: The Bundesliga youngsters with the biggest increase
EA SPORTS FC 27 is just around the corner, and in the game's latest edition there have been some notable improvements involving the Bundesliga's rising stars.
Aleksandar Pavlović
Rating increase: 73 to 83 (+10)
Combining pinpoint passing, tremendous work rate and an ability to dictate tempo, Bayern Munich's Pavlović is swiftly becoming the complete midfielder.
A Bundesliga and DFB Cup winner in 2025/26, the 22-year-old has developed an excellent knack for engineering space while oozing composure under pressure. His 10-point rise is a testament to his performances at the heart of Bayern’s midfield, where he’s developed a flourishing partnership with Joshua Kimmich.
Nathaniel Brown
Rating increase: 69 to 81 (+12)
Brown’s meteoric rise saw the 23-year-old defender make his Germany debut in October 2025 and as a result of his impressive form last season, secure a move to Bayern.
Scoring four goals and laying on another four for his Eintracht Frankfurt team-mates in 2025/26, Brown made the left-flank his own.
The pacy, marauding wing-back offers not only defensive stability, but also an end product in the final third, which has seen his rating increase by 12 points.
Felix Nmecha
Rating increase: 77 to 85 (+8)
Borussia Dortmund’s all-action midfielder established himself as a leading Bundesliga player under Niko Kovač in 2025/26.
With two goals and three assists in 29 Bundesliga appearances, Nmecha brings explosive bursts of pace and athleticism to the Black-Yellows’ midfield. As such, the 25-year-old has seen his FC 27 rating increase by eight points.
Ibrahim Maza
Rating increase: 67 to 80 (+13)
Crowned Bundesliga Rookie of the Month in both November and April last season, Bayer Leverkusen’s Maza enjoyed a stellar breakthrough campaign in Germany’s top flight.
Returning three goals and four assists in 28 outings, the 20-year-old boasts a varied skillset, combining excellent close control with hawk-like vision and a penchant for hitting the ball from distance, which has seen the player’s rating rise considerably.
Antonio Nusa
Rating increase: 72 to 78 (+6)
With a habit of causing chaos when cutting in from the left, RB Leipzig’s Nusa loves to torment opposition defenders.
With pace to burn, neat trickery and an end product, the Norwegian struck four goals and provided three assists in 2025/26 as the Saxony club secured a return to European football and with it, an increase by six points in the player’s FC 27 rating.
Can Uzun
Rating increase: 72 to 78 (+6)
Uzun scored in each of Frankfurt’s first five Bundesliga matches, but injuries hampered the Regensburg-born attacker’s season. Still, he managed eight goals and four assists in just 21 Bundesliga appearances for the Hessen club, his best return in the division.
Eager to make his mark on 2026/27, Uzun, who excels at creating space, is equally adept as scoring from range as he is creating, which has seen his stock rise by six points.
Fisnik Asllani
Rating increase: 65 to 79 (+14)
Possessing a high footballing IQ with intelligent movement and a poacher-like instinct, Asllani made his mark in the Bundesliga last term with ten goals and seven assists in 33 league games for Hoffenheim, leading to a rating increase of 14 points.
Continuing his rapid rise, the Kosovan’s output helped Christian Ilzer’s side secure a return to European football after a one-year absence.
Kaishu Sano
Rating increase: 68 to 81 (+13)
Mainz’s Japanese holding midfielder Sano has seen his stand-out 2025/26 season with the 05ers rewarded with a rating increase of 13 points.
Ever-present last season, Sano’s relentless work rate, ability to break up opposition attacks and evade the press is unrivaled, making him one of the Bundesliga’s most reliable midfielders.
