EA Sports have confirmed Liverpool duo Trent Alexander-Arnold and Thiago are two of the best passers on FIFA 21 Ultimate Team.
The Reds defender is named alongside players like Kevin De Bruyne, Lionel Messi, Toni Kroos and Luka Modric as one of the best passers on FUT 21, with the 21-year-old given a passing rating of 87, upgraded from 82 last year in FUT 20.
New Liverpool midfielder Thiago Alcantara also features among the top passers on FUT 21 this year, but Alexander-Arnold actually has an overall higher passing rating.
To put the full-back's new passing rating on FUT 21 into context, this means he has the same passing rating as players like Hakim Ziyech and better passing ratings than Paul Pogba and Neymar.
The 2019/20 Premier League winner's overall rating on FUT 21 has already been confirmed, with Alexander-Arnold named as the 29th best player on the game with an overall rating of 87.
