List of Top 100 Right Wings in FIFA 22#PlayerPOT1.Lionel Messi Paris Saint-Germain | RW932.Mohamed Salah Liverpool | RW893.A. Di María Paris Saint-Germain | RW874.Riyad Mahrez Manchester City | RW8675 more rows
1. Lionel Messi (RW, Paris St Germain) – 93
Fresh from a move from Barcelona to Paris which apparently netted him a £25 million signing-on fee, PSG’s new number 30 is looking to score a fifth Champions league winners medal during the upcoming campaign – and a sixth Ballon d’Or.
2. Robert Lewandowski (ST, FC Bayern) – 92
Third on the FIFA 21 ratings list, Lewa leapfrogs Cristiano Ronaldo after yet another absurdly effective campaign in both the Bundesliga and Champions League. At the time of writing he’s netted 209 times in 223 games for Bayern, an astonishing 48 of those coming last season across just 40 matches.
3. Cristiano Ronaldo (ST, Manchester United) – 91
After marking his return to Manchester with a two-goal salvo against Norwich City, Portugal’s talisman looks set for a monster first year back in the Premier League – and a stack of FIFA 22 TOTW items as a result.
4. Kevin de Bruyne (CM, Manchester City) – 91
de Bruyne joins Ronaldo as the only two Premier League players in the top seven, although there are two more immediately outside it: Spurs and England captain Harry Kane (90) and all-action Chelsea midfielder N’golo Kante (also 90).
5. Kylian Mbappe (ST, Paris St Germain) – 91
A first appearance in the top five for football’s most famed wonderkid, despite a disappointing Euro 2020 campaign in which Mbappe missed the decisive spot kick against Switzerland.
6. Neymar Jr (LW, Paris St Germain) – 91
Once a fixture in the top three, Neymar’s gentle slide down this chart continues – largely due to the improvement of Lewandowski and club-mate Mbappe, rather than any real-life regression on his own part.
7. Jan Oblak (GK, Atletico Madrid) – 91
Oblak is FIFA 22’s best-rated keeper, with 92 handling, 90 reflexes, and 90 positioning – narrowly holding off the challenge of 90-rated German pair Manuel Neuer and Marc-Andre ter Stegen, and Euro 2020 champion Gianluigi Donnarumma (89).
FIFA 22 best young goalkeepers
No surprise to see Gianluigi Donnarumma top this list: he did the very same in FIFA 21, and that was before going on to claim the Euro 2020 player of the tournament award. Still, your career mode club is never going to afford PSG’s £198 million release clause, nor the Italian’s £96K per week wage.
FIFA 22 best young defenders
An incredibly strong mix of full-backs and centre-halves here, from which Sporting CP left-back Nuno Mendes narrowly misses out. The 19-year-old’s overall rating can accelerate all the way from 78 to 88 – and you can purchase him immediately, despite being on loan to Paris St Germain in real life.
FIFA 22 best young midfielders
No spot on this list for the ultra-talented likes of Federico Valverde (Real Madrid), Mason Mount (Chelsea), Marcus Rashford (Manchester United) or Nicolo Barella (Inter Milan) – but it’s worth noting that they too have potential ratings of 89.
FIFA 22 best young wingers
FIFA 22 features so many talented wingers that we’ve granted them their own separate category this year, and again some notable young names miss out: Rodrygo (Real Madrid), Pedro Goncalves (Sporting CP) and Takefusa Kubo (Mallorca, on loan from Real Madrid) all have potential OVRs of 88.
FIFA 22 best young strikers
Yep, being under 24 still just about qualifies Richarlison and Gabriel Jesus as FIFA 22 wonderkids – although there are more affordable, better-value names to spend your career mode monies on. The two names in the middle are the ones to hone in on.
Bargains
First off, we’re going to be checking out players that you can buy with lower-league teams without resorting to a financial takeover. These FIFA 22 career mode players are proper bargains. They have high potential and will develop into behemoths in just a few seasons. You can cash them out or keep them in your starting 11 – the choice is all yours!
Aster Vranckx
We’re moving up in the world! This 18-year-old Belgian midfielder is going to be a valuable asset to every lower-tier team! Heck, even if you’re playing with a top-tier side, you can use this 67 OVR player in your cup matches or biweekly squad rotation.
Expensive Long-Term Investments
If you’re starting with a top-division team and you’d like some long-term signings right away, these five players ought to be your cup of tea. Some of them are quite expensive, so you might have to use the financial takeover option to sign them right away.
FIFA 22 meta goalkeepers include Pope and Donnarumma
Keepers are much improved this year, making them more reliable generally, but two factors in particular define their individual popularity: height (tall goalies are especially great on crosses, and shots towards the top corners) and the ‘saves with feet’ trait (which helps them to block close-range rebounds or one-on-ones).
Speed is everything on the FIFA 22 meta defenders list
Pace, pace, pace. No matter how hard EA tries to tone down the effect of individual speed, it’s still the priority for most competitive FUT squads.
FIFA 22 meta midfielders ask Kante you feel the love tonight?
As ever, the most overpowered midfielder pairing in the game is arguably the most overpriced. N’golo Kante (CDM, Chelsea, 90) sets you back 97,000 coins at the time of writing, while Paul Pogba (CM, Manchester United, 87) requires a further 26,000 big ones.
The top FIFA 22 meta strikers include Werner and Vardy
Fed up of playing against Timo Werner (ST, Chelsea, 84) online yet? Me too, or at least I was until I packed him and realised he’s worth the hype. Ratings of 91 pace, 81 shooting and 82 dribbling make him FIFA 22’s most meta striker card, and he definitely feels OP. Dropping 5,500 coins on the German is good value at this point in the cycle.
This custom FIFA 22 meta tactic will see you good
Having experimented with various community suggestions across the season, I’m having the most success in Division Rivals with a 4-1-2-1-2 (2) set-up created by Reddit user FutureFC. The basics of it are outlined below – click that link if you need a breakdown of what each individual setting does.
Our FIFA 22 meta squad builder recommendation
Looking to build an OP starter team bringing together all the elements above? Then give this basic, all-gold Ligue 1 squad a try and then build around it until you have sufficient funds for PSG stars such as Mbappe, Neymar and Messi. All prices are correct on PlayStation as of Saturday, February 19.
