Yann Sommer, the goalkeeper of Club Brugge, is the highest-rated player in the new EA FC ratings for the Jupiler Pro League with a score of 84. Club Brugge provides the two top talents, Sommer and Hans Vanaken, and has 14 players in the top 100, equal to Union and Anderlecht.
Sommer and Vanaken at the top for Club Brugge
The annual new edition of EA FC traditionally comes with updated ratings for footballers. In the Belgian competition, Sommer is the only player at the top. Club Brugge signed the Swiss goalkeeper this summer and immediately sees him as the sole player with a rating of 84.
Hans Vanaken follows his teammate in second place. The captain of Club Brugge receives a rating of 81 and remains the only second. EA FC then lists five players together at third place with a score of 79: Christian Burgess from KAA Gent, Bryan Heynen from KRC Genk and the Union trio Kevin Mac Allister, Hervé Koffi and Adem Zorgane.
Union strongly represented in the highest tiers
Union has four players in the highest tiers of the list. In addition to Mac Allister, Koffi, Zorgane and Khalaili, Promise David, Rob Schoofs, Ousseynou Niang, Anouar Ait El Hadj, Raul Florucz, Ross Sykes, Darius Olaru, Fedde Leysen, Besfort Zeneli and Kevin Rodríguez also appear in the top 100.
At KRC Genk, Heynen, Zakaria El Ouahdi, Junya Ito, Jarne Steuckers and Matte Smets are in the top twenty. The Limburgers ultimately have thirteen players in the top 100. KAA Gent has nine representatives, with Burgess as the highest name. Davy Roef, Abdelkahar Kadri, Wilfried Kanga, Siebe Van der Heyden, Mathias Delorge, Leonardo Lopes, László Bénes and Atsuki Ito complete the Gent squad.
Anderlecht matches Club Brugge and Union
The biggest finding is the total per club. RSC Anderlecht shares the top position with Club Brugge and Union: all three have fourteen players in the top 100. Colin Coosemans is the highest-ranked Anderlecht player with 76. Adriano Bertaccini follows with 75, while others such as Ludwig Augustinsson, Enric Llansana, Moussa N’Diaye, Danylo Sikan, Oliver Antman, Léo Pétrot, Killian Sardella, Mario Stroeykens, Giulian Biancone, César Huerta, Nathan-Dylan Saliba and Lucas Hey appear in the list.
Other clubs are also represented. Patrick Pflücke, Parfait Guiagon, Antoine Bernier, Aiham Ousou and Check Keita represent Sporting Charleroi in the top 100. Standard Luik, KV Mechelen, STVV, OH Leuven, KV Kortrijk, Cercle Brugge, Royal Antwerp FC, La Louvière and Zulte Waregem also provide players. The new ratings place Sommer individually at number one, but mainly show how broadly the biggest Belgian clubs are represented in the game.
Summary
Yann Sommer is the highest-rated player in the Jupiler Pro League with a score of 84. Club Brugge has 14 players in the top 100, equal to Union and Anderlecht. Hans Vanaken follows with a rating of 81.
