Arsenal's FIFA 22 player ratings revealed with alarming downgrades to star players

Arsenal's player ratings for FIFA 22 have been released today, with a large amount of the Gunners squad receiving downgrades to their ratings after a disappointing Premier League campaign last season.

The Gunners finished eighth in the Premier League after a difficult season for Mikel Arteta's side, and their performances have been reflected in their ratings for FIFA 22, with the likes of Pierre Emerick Aubameyang, Alexandre Lacazette and Nicolas Pepe all receiving downgrades to their overall ratings.

However, after a summer transfer window where recruitment focused on young, improving talent, a number of new Arsenal's new signings arrive with upgrades from FIFA 21, whilst Bukayo Saka and Emile Smith Rowe both receive big upgrades after successful campaigns.

So, what are the player ratings for Arsenal in FIFA 22? Let's take a look.

Arsenal have suffered a number of downgrades to their overall squad in FIFA 22, with some new signings also receiving underwhelming ratings.

Aubameyang suffered a -2 downgrade to his card, making him 85 overall but he maintains his position as Arsenal's highest-rated player.

Bernd Leno (83), Nicolas Pepe (81), Alexandre Lacazette (82), Martin Odegaard (82), Granit Xhaka (79), Ainsley Maitland-Niles (75) and Sead Kolasinac (75) all received downgrades in FIFA 22 after not performing to their expected level over the last 12 months, leaving the Gunners looking rather deflated in FIFA 22.

Bukayo Saka was upgraded by five ratings to 80 rated overall whilst Emile Smith-Rowe saw his rating increase by six overall, taking him from 69 to 76, but after the Englishman's breakthrough season at the Gunners, 76 still seems like quite a harsh upgrade.

Arsenal youngster Gabriel Martinelli also received a small upgrade from 74 to 76 overall, whilst new signings Ben White (76), Albert Sambi Lokonga (73) and Takehiro Tomiyasu (75) all received upgrades to their cards. Surprisingly, Aaron Ramsdale was handed a downgrade from 75 to 74 after his relegation with Sheffield United, and fellow signing Nuno Tavares (70) was given a -2 downgrade to his card.
