Sunderland FC26 ratings – Granit Xhaka history maker, Habib Diarra upgraded
Sunderland supporters will be able to represent the Black Cats in the next instalment of FC26.
Summer time shines a clear focus on transfer business, with Sunderland having signed 15 new players throughout the course of the window.
All of these new Stadium of Light arrivals will feature in EA Sports’ FC26 video game, due for release at the end of September.
With that in mind, Mackem News takes a look at the leaked Sunderland ratings for this year’s game, while taking note that some could be subject to minor changes.
Reinildo is Sunderland’s highest-rated defender
Reinildo has already impressed at Sunderland, and given his pedigree throughout his career, it’s no surprise to see him rated above the others.
Coming in at 79 rated, the Mozambique international boasts plenty of pace and physicality to add to your team.
- Reinildo – 79
- Nordi Mukiele – 79
- Lutsharel Geertruida – 78
- Trai Hume – 74
- Robin Roefs – 74
- Dan Ballard – 73
- Anthony Patterson – 73
- Luke O’Nien – 72
- Dennis Cirkin – 72
- Timothee Pembele – 70
Trai Hume has received a minor upgrade to 74, while Robin Roefs has received an eight rating upgrade on this year’s game.
Deadline day signing Lutsharel Geertruida is coming in at 78 rated, with Nordi Mukiele matching Reinildo as a 79 rated.
Omar Alderete’s rating is yet to be revealed.
Granit Xhaka becomes Sunderland’s highest-ever rated card
At 85-rated, Grant Xhaka will start this year’s game as the highest-rated card in Sunderland’s history.
Sunderland’s club record signing Habib Diarra has received a health upgrade to 77, while Noah Sadiki has been upped by seven ratings to 74.
- Granit Xhaka – 85
- Habib Diarra – 77
- Enzo Le Fee – 76
- Noah Sadiki – 74
- Dan Neil – 73
Despite impressing last season and scoring in Sunderland’s 2-1 win against Brentford, Enzo Le Fee has received a one rating downgrade.
Dan Neil captained his side to promotion last time out, though his rating stays the same at 73, with now-Middlesbrough midfielder Alan Browne coming in as a 72.
Brian Brobbey spearheads Sunderland attack
After joining Sunderland on deadline day, Brian Brobbey will be the Black Cats’ highest-rated forward on FC26.
The 23-year-old Dutchman boasts a 77 rating, with summer signing Simon Adingra not too far behind him at 76.
- Brian Brobbey – 77
- Simon Adingra – 76
- Bertrand Traore – 75
- Chemsdine Talbi – 73
- Wilson Isidor – 72
- Romaine Mundle – 71
- Eliezer Mayenda – 71
Wilson Isidor has been added to this year’s game, with a rating of 72, while Eliezer Mayenda has finally received the attention he deserves.
Somehow, the Spaniard had just 53 pace on FC25, boosted to 85 this time around with an overall boost of 11.
Chemsdine Talbi comes in at 73 rated with blistering pace and a huge upgrade on his card in the previous game.
