While football is known to be a passing game, fans have plenty of respect for those with magical feet. This list comprises of the top ten dribblers in FIFA 21, as confirmed by EA themselves. Without any further ado, let’s get right into it.
10. Sadio Mane: 90 DRI
Club: Liverpool (Premier League)
Country: Senegal
Position: LW
Overall: 90
Arguably Liverpool’s best attacker, many would want Mane to be ranked higher in dribbling. However, he is tied for the best Liverpool player with Salah and Van Dijk.
9. Douglas Costa: 90 DRI
Club: Juventus/Piemonte Calcio (Serie A)
Country: Brazil
Position: LM
Overall: 84
Despite spending most of the campaign injured, Douglas Costa has been rated 84 by EA and a dribbling stat of 90. This just goes to show how good the Brazilian can be when he’s fit.
8. Lorenzo Insigne: 91 DRI
Club: Napoli (Serie A)
Country: Italy
Position: LW
Overall: 85
Insigne has once again been impressive, although Napoli did not manage to qualify for the Champions League next season. The Italian winger is very highly rated by EA this time around.
7. Paulo Dybala: 91 DRI
Club: Juventus/ Piemonte Calcio (Serie A)
Country: Argentina
Position: CF
Overall: 88
One of the best centre forwards in the game, Paulo Dybala has been given a high dribbling stat as well. Expect fluidity and skills when you play with the star striker from Piemonte Calcio.
6. Jadon Sancho: 91 DRI
Club: Borussia Dortmund (Bundesliga)
Country: England
Position: RM
Overall: 87
EA have at least got one aspect of Sancho’s game right. The youngster is silky smooth on the ball and is much quicker than the 83 pace assigned to him.
5. Kylian Mbappe: 91 DRI
Club: Paris Saint-Germain (Ligue 1)
Country: France
Position: ST
Overall: 90
The cover star of FIFA 21, Kylian Mbappe starts of as the top five best dribblers in the world as per the video game. The youngster is set to be one of the brightest stars in world football.
4. Bernardo Silva: 92 DRI
Club: Manchester City (Premier League)
Country: Portugal
Position: RW
Overall: 87
Bernardo Silva is one of, if not the best player in the Manchester City squad. His skills and sublime nature on the ball are well deserving of a 92 rating as awarded by EA.
3. Eden Hazard: 92 DRI
Club: Real Madrid (LaLiga)
Country: Belgium
Position: LW
Overall: 88
Last season’s cover star, Eden Hazard’s time at Real Madrid has not been ideal so far. However, he has shown his brilliance at Chelsea and is simply too good to be written off so soon.
2. Neymar Jr. : 94 DRI
Club: Paris Saint-Germain (Ligue 1)
Country: Brazil
Position: LW
Overall: 91
The most expensive player in the world, also one of the best with the ball at his feet. Neymar came mighty close to winning the Champions League with PSG and has repeatedly shown why he is in the conversation to be among the best in the world.
1. Lionel Messi: 95 DRI
Club: Barcelona (LaLiga)
Country: Argentina
Position: RW
Overall: 93
The best player in the world, in FIFA as well as in real life, the Argentine has managed to bag a 95 dribbling stat on the back of his unbelievable individual season at Barcelona. Few can argue with FIFA rating Messi so high. The man fully deserves it.
That caps off our list of the top 10 dribblers in FIFA 21. Although EA has come under harsh criticism for their ratings this year, few can argue with the names on the list. The numbers, though, are up for debate.
FIFA 21 hits stores on October 9th for PS4, Xbox One and PC platforms.
