EA Sports has begun the phased reveal of player ratings in the new installment of the football simulator FC 27, and one of the first data blocks to be released was the cards of Kyiv Dynamo's footballers. The Kyiv club published the official cards of its players on Instagram, allowing fans and analysts to assess how the developers have reflected the current form and potential of the team's players on the virtual pitches. The highest overall rating among Dynamo players was awarded to midfielder Nikolai Shaparenko — 78 points, which makes him not only the best Ukrainian in the UPL but also the highest-rated player in the entire Ukrainian championship in FC 27.
The Top Five of Dynamo and the Lowest-Rated Players
The top five players of the Kyiv club according to EA Sports include goalkeeper Vitaly Buyalsky (76), as well as three footballers with an identical rating of 75: Vladimir Brazhko, Alexander Pikhaleonok, and Denis Popov. Thus, Dynamo's defensive and midfield contingent received fairly high ratings, reflecting their significance in the current season. At the opposite end of the scale were two defenders — Maksym Korobov and Vladyslav Zakharchenko — who were assigned the team's minimum rating of 53. The 25-point gap between the leader and the lowest-rated players underscores how unevenly EA Sports evaluates the Kyiv squad in the new simulator.
Ukrainian Legionnaires at the Top of the National Rating
Among all Ukrainian footballers whose cards have already been revealed in FC 27, the leading trio is formed by legionnaires playing for top European clubs. Paris Saint-Germain defender Ilya Zubarny, Real Madrid goalkeeper Andriy Lunin, and Benfica goalkeeper Anatoliy Trubin received an identical rating — 80 points. Next, with a rating of 79, is forward Artem Dovbyk. At the 78 mark, matching Shaparenko's rating, are Viktor Tsygankov, Georgiy Sudakov, and Yegor Yarmolyuk. The coincidence of ratings for Shaparenko and Tsygankov (both 78) underscores that the Dynamo midfielder is the strongest Ukrainian representing UPL clubs in the context of FC 27.
Context and Significance of the Ratings for Fans
EA Sports FC 27 ratings have traditionally become a subject of wide discussion in the football community: players and fans compare the virtual ratings with real match performance, while clubs use the publication of cards as an element of marketing communication. For Dynamo, the release of ratings into the public domain coincided with an active stage of preseason preparation, which intensifies audience interest in how EA Sports will reflect the progress or regression of individual performers. Publishing the data through the club's official Instagram page, rather than through third-party channels, adds additional weight to the information and allows it to be considered a primary source for fans.
Contradictory Data
As of the publication of this article, no significant discrepancies between various sources regarding the specific rating figures for Dynamo players and Ukrainian legionnaires have been recorded. The only nuance worth noting is that EA Sports is revealing the data in phases: some cards have already been published, while the full lists for all leagues and clubs may be supplemented in the coming days. Therefore, the values provided should be considered as the current snapshot as of September 2, 2026, rather than the final version of the FC 27 ratings.
