FC 27 Nigeria ratings: Nnadozie and Osimhen lead as EA reveals latest cards

Chiamaka Nnadozie and Victor Osimhen are Nigeria’s joint-highest-rated players in EA Sports FC 27, with both awarded an overall rating of 85 in the game’s initial ratings database.

EA has published its official FC 27 ratings, giving players an early guide to how Nigerian footballers have been assessed for the new title. Ademola Lookman is next on the list with a rating of 83, but the rankings could change as EA releases and updates more player items during the game cycle.

This tracker follows the leading Nigerian ratings, the most notable cards and any significant changes made by EA.

Nnadozie and Osimhen share top spot

The first major talking point in the Nigerian ratings is the tie at the summit.

Super Falcons goalkeeper Chiamaka Nnadozie has been given an overall rating of 85, placing her alongside Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen.

Nnadozie’s individual attributes are particularly notable for a goalkeeper. She has been rated at 87 for pace, 80 for passing, 88 for dribbling and 84 for physicality.

Osimhen continues to offer the qualities that make him one of Nigeria’s most dangerous attacking options in the game. The striker has 89 pace, 84 shooting and 86 physicality, making him an appealing choice for players building a Nigeria-themed Ultimate Team.

His individual profile also includes 88 finishing, 88 reactions, 90 jumping and 87 strength.

Lookman is Nigeria’s third-highest-rated player, with an overall score of 83. The forward has 86 pace, 83 shooting and 84 dribbling, giving him a balanced attacking profile for players who prioritise speed and ball control.

Rasheedat Ajibade is next, with the Super Falcons player rated 81 overall. She has 87 pace and 85 dribbling, while her shooting attribute is 79.

Jennifer Echegini, Gift Monday and Alex Iwobi are all rated 80. Gift Monday’s 88 pace is one of the standout figures among that group, while Iwobi has 79 passing and 82 dribbling.

Aina leads Nigerian defenders

Ola Aina is currently the highest-rated Nigerian defender, with an overall rating of 79.

The Nottingham Forest full-back has 87 pace and 77 defending, combining speed with a useful defensive rating.

Calvin Bassey is rated 78, alongside Nathan Tella, Raphael Onyedika and Samuel Chukwueze.

Tella’s 90 pace is especially significant, making him one of the fastest established Nigerian players in the game.

Paul Onuachu has been given a rating of 77. Moses Simon, Victor Boniface, Maduka Okoye, Umar Sadiq and Chidera Ejuke are all rated 76.

Ejuke has 89 pace and 83 dribbling, attributes which make him one of the more attractive lower-rated attacking options. Simon also has 87 pace.

A group of players are currently rated 75 overall in EA’s database. That list includes Tolu Arokodare, Frank Onyeka, Femi Azeez, Akor Adams, Alhassan Yusuf, Christantus Uche and Wilfred Ndidi.

Ndidi’s strongest attributes are his 80 physicality and 73 defending, while Arokodare has been given a physicality rating of 82.

Tella leads Nigeria’s pace rankings

Speed remains one of the most important attributes for many Ultimate Team players, and Nigeria has several players with high pace ratings.

Among the Nigerian players currently listed, Tella is the fastest with a rating of 90. Osimhen and Ejuke are both on 89, while Gift Monday has 88.

Ola Aina, Ajibade, Simon and Chukwueze each have 87 pace.

However, the fastest Nigerian card is not necessarily the country’s highest-rated player. Some lower-rated players have higher pace figures than those ranked above them in the overall standings.

The current list should not be regarded as final. EA says its ratings database covers the Gold, Silver and Bronze Player Items available in Ultimate Team 27 at launch.

It does not include other categories, such as Heroes, Icons or Campaign Player Items, including items that are added later.

That means further cards can be introduced throughout the FC 27 cycle, while player ratings and other database information may also be updated.
