Ronaldo is no longer the second-best player in FIFA

 EA has announced the ratings for the top 22 players in FIFA 22.

There are a few eyebrow raisers in here, but let's start at the top and with Cristiano Ronaldo, who has been downgraded one point in overall score.

That means Ronaldo is out of the top two best players in the world according to FIFA for what feels like a lifetime. Replacing him, some will argue deservedly so, is Bayern goal machine Robert Lewandowski, who has an overall 92 rating having had a 91 last year. Messi is still the best player in the world, according to FIFA, with a 93.

More controversial downgrade is that Mbappe has more physical strength than Ronaldo.

It's delighted to see the irrepressible N'Golo Kanté in the top 22 with a 90 rating, up from last year's 88.

Here's the top 22:

1. Messi - 93
2. Lewandowski - 92
3. Ronaldo - 91
4. De Bruyne - 91
5. Mbappé - 91
6. Neymar - 91
7. Oblak - 91
8. Kane - 90
9. Kanté - 90
10. Neuer - 90
11. Ter Stegen - 90
12. Salah - 89
13. Donnarumma - 89
14. Benzema - 89
15. Van Dijk - 89
16. Kimmich - 89
17. Son - 89
18. Alisson - 89
19. Courtois - 89
20. Casemiro - 89
21. Ederson - 89
22. Mané - 89
