EA SPORTS FC 26's most-improved players

Among those to have made a significant leap in overall score is Eintracht Frankfurt's talented young defender Nnamdi Collins, who just recently made his senior debut for Germany.

The centre-back's overall rating has shot up by 11 points in FC 26, an achievement shared by his Eintracht teammate, Elias Baum, the highly versatile full-back who enjoyed a stellar season on loan at Elversberg in 2024/25.

Unsurprisingly, Frankfurt's success of late means there are several more of the Eagles' young stars on the most improved FC 26 player list. Jean-Mattéo Bahoya - who has started the current Bundesliga campaign in superb form – as well as Nathaniel Brown and Oscar Højlund, have all jumped by eight points.

Eintracht's Brazilian shot-stopper Kauã Santos, meanwhile, has taken a significant 10-point leap in his overall rating score after his solid displays deputising for Kevin Trapp.

Transferring from Hoffenheim to Bayern Munich, midfielder Tom Bischof has had a summer to remember, taking in playing time at the FIFA Club World Cup with the Bavarian giants and also making his senior Germany bow.

It was his prolific form at Hoffenheim last season that led to an eight-point upturn for the 20-year-old, while it is a current member of the Sinsheimers’ squad - Deniz Zeitler - who has added a whopping 10 points to his rating thanks to his exploits at former club Ingolstadt last term.

Heading the list of the most improved players are RB Leipzig's new Danish forward Conrad Harder and also Lukas Ullrich, Borussia Mönchengladbach's dependable left-back. Both players have enjoyed a bump of 12 points to their respective ratings in FC 26.

Elsewhere, Mainz’s Japanese holding midfielder Kaishu Sano has seen his stand-out 2024/25 season with the 05ers rewarded with a rating increase of 11 points, while the goalkeeping trio of Werder Bremen's Karl Hein, Heidenheim custodian Frank Feller and St. Pauli new boy Simon Spari have all jumped by nine points. Freiburg's exciting Swiss midfielder Johan Manzambi has enjoyed the same overall rating increase.

Watch: Bischof signs for Bayern

Just like the aforementioned Bischof, Brown, Bahoya and Højlund, those also celebrating an eight-point rating increase are Germany U21 international and Freiburg central defender Max Rosenfelder, Kosovo star Fisnik Asllani of Hoffenheim and Luka Vušković, Hamburg's latest loan signing from Tottenham Hotspur.

Mainz's Paul Nebel and Chrislain Matsima of Augsburg both saw their overall rating increase by seven points.
