The Liverpool squad have learnt just how highly they are rated in the world of EAFC after seeing the new ratings released.
After a Premier League-winning campaign, it is clear that the Reds have some of the top players in England and across Europe.
That is reflected in the ratings for EAFC26, with Liverpool boasting some of the highest scoring stars on the game.
Of course, this would ordinarily be the time of year that the late Diogo Jota would tease and banter with his teammates as he revealed their scores for the season.
Though Jota is tragically no longer with us, Liverpool have still released a video of the squad receiving and reacting to their ratings.
But having made the move to Anfield this summer, Hugo Ekitike is seemingly not accepting of one player’s improvement in fortunes.
Ryan Gravenberch handed massive upgrade
Given the year they had, it should not be a surprise that a few Liverpool players have seen their stock rise on EAFC.
Within that, none have had a bigger reputation boost than Ryan Gravenberch.
Gravenberch has gone from a somewhat fringe member of the Liverpool squad to one of its most important and crucial.

This is reflected in his score of 85 in this year’s game, which, as Liverpool’s resident cameraman tells the midfielder, is the biggest upgrade of any Reds player – along with Ekitike.
“Nice card,” says the 23-year-old. “Last year was…”
“78,” a voice from behind the camera says. “The biggest upgrade in the squad, with this guy.”
Ekitike then wanders down the AXA Training Centre staircase, claiming that Gravenberch did not deserve such a boost.
“You deserve 80,” he smiles. “85, bro,” replies Gravenberch. “80, 80,” repeats Ekitike, before revealing his own rating of 83.
Alexander Isak learns first Liverpool rating
Plenty of other players also received their ratings, with Alexander Isak and Florian Wirtz scoring the highest of those involved in the clip.
Collecting his rating of 88, Isak says he is pleased to see his score also continuing to go up. “Happy. It’s going up, so keep going,” said the striker.
New big-money signing Wirtz was also pleased after being given an 89 rating, while Ibrahima Konate came in at 86, declaring “next year, 99.”
Meanwhile, Jeremie Frimpong bemoaned his shooting score of 62, while acknowledging that his overall rating of 83 was also lower than the previous year’s edition.
Alexis Mac Allister was happy after seeing an 87 score come up, but accepted that he deserved a low pace score ‘like always.’
