The Chelsea squad could be set for some big rating changes for FIFA 23, with the official player ratings set to be released soon.
Chelsea reached two cup finals and finished third in the Premier League in the 2021/22 campaign, but the Blues weren't able to win a trophy. The likes of Edouard Mendy, Reece James, Thiago Silva and Mateo Kovacic were some standout performers last season, and these players could receive upgraded ratings for FIFA 23.
FIFA 23 is set for a worldwide release on Friday, September 30, 2022. The ratings announced for the game's release will be permanent in the Ultimate Game mode, but their rating can either increase or decrease throughout the year based on their real-life performances.
