Thanks to Twitter user @DanielGoodin7 and a retweet from No Other Pod, we have Sporting Kansas City’s FIFA 21 ratings from the closed beta that is currently going on. The game releases on October 9, 2020.
A look at the first #SportingKC team and player ratings in the #FIFA21 closed beta.

If your name is Alan Pulido, you probably need to get in touch with someone at EA Sports. He is rated a shockingly low 73 overall. The team’s highest rated player is Winston Reid (76), who has yet to appear for SKC outside of a preseason game. The game has openly been shown to favor players from bigger leagues, so Reid coming from the Premier League no doubt drives up that number compared to other Sporting KC players.
As for other players who are new to Sporting KC, they have some likely complaints too. Gadi Kinda is just a 68, Roberto Puncec is a 67 and rookies John Pulskamp and Cameron Duke are just 54 overall.
Khiry Shelton also should probably go on a letter writing campaign as he’s just rated as a 65. That is behind fellow wingers Johnny Russel (74), Gerso Fernandes (73) and even Daniel Salloi (70). Arguably Shelton has been the best winger for SKC in all of 2020.
The Tweet has all the ratings (if you are interested), which of course are subject to change. EA constantly updates the FIFA ratings. This all lines up with the current FIFA 20 ratings readily available on sites like SoFIFA or many other sources. They are also quite close to what the ratings were at the beginning of the FIFA 20 release window.
