Fans of Ultimate Team know that there are only really five playable leagues in FIFA: the Premier League, La Liga, the Bundesliga, Serie A and Ligue 1.
However, that is set to change this year with EA Sports FC 24 – the successor to the FIFA franchise.
Suddenly, the Saudi Pro League has become a big-hitter in Ultimate Team following the division’s extraordinary spending spree, offering an alternative to the traditional big five European leagues.
Your team may not be the quickest, which could be a big problem if EA Sports FC plays the same as FIFA, but it can certainly be stacked with some of the world’s biggest stars.
Here are the top Saudi Pro League ratings for EA Sports FC 24.
While Cristiano Ronaldo is one of the few highly-rated players currently in the Saudi Pro League on FIFA 23 having joined Al Nassr last season, he will have company in EA Sports FC 24.
The Portuguese is rated 90 but only the second best FIFA 23 asset who currently plays in Saudi Arabia, with former teammate Karim Benzema, now of Al Ittihad, boasting a 91-rated card.
Sadio Mane, Neymar and N’Golo Kante are also among those competing with Ronaldo and Benzema for that top rating as Ultimate Team braces itself for a new market worth investing in.

Given the age profile of the current crop and the lack of competition from players already in the league, the top ten Saudi Pro League players should remain relatively similar to the current list.
A number of those in the top ten should probably have lower ratings next season – the likes of Fabinho, Edouard Mendy, Kalidou Koulibaly and Sadio Mane all endured poor seasons – but EA Sports FC may want to leave ratings high as to add another competitive league into the game.
Ronaldo, Benzema and Neymar will probably be the top three next season, unless anything changes dramatically in the transfer window, and the rest will have to fight among themselves.
