The wait is over – we now know who the most sought-after players on the most sought-after football game will be.

EA Sports has unveiled its top 10 for FIFA 16, and there are some new names to feast your eyes on.

Cristiano Ronaldo’s Ballon d’Or victory was not enough to see him overtake Lionel Messi at the top of the rankings, with the Argentina edging out his rival with a score of 94 to Ronaldo’s 93.

Arjen Robben, who was third on FIFA 15, now shares that spot with a ranking of 90, the same as Manuel Neuer and Luis Suarez.
