A leading member of the defensive ranks at Barcelona has been afforded the highest player rating of any La Liga full-back in the latest edition of the EA FC video game.
The player in question? Jules Koundé.
Stopper Koundé is for his part of course fresh off what was a stellar individual campaign in 2024/25.
Continuing to grow into his new role out wide, the Frenchman proved himself an integral member of Hansi Flick’s domestic treble-winning XI.
And such efforts have been aptly recognised by EA, amid confirmation that Koundé has been afforded a player rating of 87 in FC 26.
This is a higher rating than any other La Liga full-back, closely followed by Real Madrid summer signing Trent Alexander-Arnold.
TAA has been handed a rating of 86, one better than Blancos teammate and competition for the season ahead, Dani Carvajal.
Rounding out the top-4, meanwhile, is a representative from Spanish football’s other leading club, Atlético Madrid’s Marcos Llorente (84).
