The 10 Highest-Rated American Men in FC 27. None of Them Play in MLS.

EA’s United States list does not start with a man. Sophia Wilson is 88 at the Portland Thorns. Rose Lavelle and Trinity Rodman are 87. Christian Pulisic is the first American man on the board, at 83, and he is 13th among Americans. The top 10 men are all in Europe. Not one plays in MLS.

#	Player	Club	Pos	OVR
1	Christian Pulisic	AC Milan	CAM	83
2	Weston McKennie	Juventus	CM	80
3	Johnny Cardoso	Atlético Madrid	CDM	80
4	Antonee Robinson	Fulham	LB	80
5	Folarin Balogun	AS Monaco	ST	80
6	Chris Richards	Crystal Palace	CB	80
7	Sergiño Dest	PSV	RB	79
8	Malik Tillman	Bayer Leverkusen	CAM	79
9	Tyler Adams	Bournemouth	CDM	79
10	Tim Weah	Marseille	RM	78

Weah is the tenth name if the list has to stop at ten. Alejandro Zendejas, Ricardo Pepi and Cameron Carter-Vickers are also 78. Zendejas is at Club América. Pepi is at PSV. Carter-Vickers is at Celtic. None of those three are in MLS either.

Pulisic is the only man above 80 on his own. Pace 87, shooting 83, dribbling 84. The five 80s are McKennie, Cardoso, Robinson, Balogun and Richards. McKennie is the most complete on the face stats: 79 passing, 79 dribbling, 79 defending, 81 physical. Robinson is the fullback EA still trusts. Balogun is the only striker in the ten. Richards is the only center back.

The 79s are Dest, Tillman and Adams. Dest is still a right back in the database. Tillman is a CAM. Adams is the 79 who defends.

The MLS names sit under that line. Cristian Roldan is 77. Sebastian Berhalter is 76. Paxten Aaronson, Matt Turner and Brian White are 75. Messi is 89 in the same game, Lewandowski and Griezmann 84, and none of them are American. The highest-rated American men EA could find are the ones who left. If you want an American core above 79, you are building Milan, Juventus, Atlético, Fulham, Monaco and Palace. The league on the box does not have a man in that ten.
