Inter Miami made its MLS debut in March, and on Oct. 9 will join the gaming world as it becomes a playable team in EA Sports’ wildly popular FIFA 21.
The FIFA series is listed in the Guinness World Records as the best-selling sports video game franchise in the world with over 282 million copies sold by 2019.
Inter Miami has a handful of players in the upper echelon of the world ratings scale, which is topped by Barcelona’s Lionel Messi (93) and Juventus star Cristiano Ronaldo (92).
Players are rated on pace, shooting, passing, dribbling, defending and physical.
Recently-signed Inter Miami forward Gonzalo Higuain and midfielder Blaise Matuidi have FIFA 21 player ratings of 83, which is tied with Los Angeles FC’s Carlos Vela for best in Major League Soccer. Midfielder Rodolfo Pizarro is next at 76, followed by goalkeeper Luis Robles, and defenders Leandro Gonzalez Pirez and Nico Figal at 73.
Other Miami player ratings include: Wil Trapp (72), Victor Ulloa (69), Lewis Morgan (68), Julian Carranza (68), Matias Pellegrini (68), Juan Agudelo (68), Ben Sweat (67), Brek Shea (64), Jay Chapman (63), Andres Reyes (62), Robbie Robinson (58), Dylan Nealis (54).
