FIFA 20 5 star skillers: Every 5* player from EA Sports' top 100 revealed

When it comes to the FIFA series, some gamers are more concerned with skills rather than goals.

With the top 100 player ratings for the upcoming FIFA 20 confirmed on Monday, EA Sports revealed plenty of information about those lucky stars - including the trickiest of the lot.

Of the top 100, just nine have been blessed with the hallowed 5-star skill rating - a rank which means gamers will be able to pull off the hardest tricks in the game.

Within the top 10, only two players - PSG's Neymar and Juventus' Cristiano Ronaldo - have been awarded five stars, with Lionel Messi given four - though in fairness, the Barcelona's legend's brilliance has always preferred embarrassing his opponents with his devastating dribbling rather than resorting to circus skills.

Neymar's PSG team-mates Kylian Mbappe and Angel Di Maria are also among the chosen few, meaning players will have plenty of fun with the French champions.

Elsewhere, Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba has also been rewarded, while Bayern Munich duo Philippe Coutinho and Thiago Alcantara have also been marked out.

Marcelo is the sole Real Madrid representative with five stars on the top 100 list, while Zlatan Ibrahimovic has still got it at the tender age of 37.

More 5* skillers will be released in due course, with the demo out on September 10 followed by the full release of the game on September 27.
