Burnley's player ratings for the new EA Sports FC 27 video game have been published, with midfielder Josh Cullen rated highest in the squad at 77. The ratings release comes as the Clarets, who are 24th in the Championship with just four points from eight games, prepare for a key trip to Watford.
Cullen's status as the top-rated Burnley player is a timely note of confidence as he works his way back from a lengthy ACL injury absence. His 77 rating places him ahead of several teammates rated in the mid-70s, including Kyle Walker (76) and a group of players on 75: Anel Ahmedhodzic, Igor Julio, Marcus Edwards, Gregoire Coudert, and Hannibal.
A significant portion of the first-team squad is rated between 74 and 72. Defenders Bashir Humphreys, Connor Roberts, and Lucas Pires are all on 74, alongside midfielders Reo Hatate and Zeki Amdouni, who scored in the recent 1-1 draw with Derby. Jacob Bruun Larsen holds a 73 rating. A large cluster of players, including Jordan Beyer, Oliver Sonne, Josh Laurent, Mike Tresor, and Armando Broja, are rated 72.
The full squad ratings are available on our squad page, which details every player currently at Turf Moor. Burnley's difficult start to the season is reflected in the standings, where they sit bottom of the table with four draws and four losses from their opening eight fixtures.
While the video game ratings are a separate metric, Cullen's impending return is a genuine boost for a team seeking its first league win.
