Knowing FIFA 18 World Cup ratings allow you to form the best possible FUT squad for the summer World Cup update.

This page ranks players by their overall ranking, regardless of their Confederation such as UEFA, CONMEBOL, CONMEBOL, CAF and the AFC, allowing you to see the best players in the world at a glance.

However, that shouldn't be the only determining factor, with Confederation and individual positions helping you decide which players to go for. Our additional UEFA, CONMEBOL, CONMEBOL, CAF and AFC Confederation rankings can also allow you to narrow the options down further.

Note all the below - sourced from EA - is specifically for the FIFA 18 World Cup update.

We've also included FIFA 18 World Cup ratings with and without Icons - which, by perhaps little surprise, best the current World Cup line-up.

FIFA 18 World Cup ratings: The best World Cup players by overall ranking

The following features the best World Cup players by overall ranking using players in World Cup qualifying sides from around the world.
