The available source material does not verify a complete list of the highest-rated player at all 24 EFL Championship clubs in EA SPORTS FC 26, so a reliable ranked list cannot be published from it. The accessible Football League World repost, dated September 18, 2025, says the clubs were ranked but does not show the names, ratings or order. Here is what can be confirmed—and what remains unknown.
What the ranking is supposed to show
“Highest-rated” refers to a player’s overall rating in EA SPORTS FC 26, not current form, real-world ability or a special Ultimate Team card. The repost of Football League World’s September 18, 2025 article says it ranked each Championship club’s highest-rated player, but its accessible text contains only that description, not the ranking itself. Read the accessible repost.
What can be verified for Oxford United
EA’s official FC 26 Oxford United page names Cameron Brannagan, Ben Davies and Brian De Keersmaecker among the club’s highest-rated players, and lists Brannagan at 71 overall. That confirms an Oxford example, but it does not establish that Brannagan is the sole top-rated player or resolve the other 23 clubs. See EA’s Oxford United ratings page.
League database context
Futship’s FC 26 England Championship database reports 24 clubs, 721 players and an average rating of 68; the captured page does not state a publication year for those figures. These are Futship’s database totals, not official EA counts. View Futship’s England Championship database.

EveryGameStat separately describes its FC 26 database as covering 17,873 players and 651 clubs, and lists 650 EFL Championship entries. Those counts describe that site’s database, not EA’s official totals, and do not supply the missing club-by-club ranking. View EveryGameStat’s FC 26 database.
Why a full ranked list cannot be established
- The accessible Football League World repost does not expose any of the 24 selected names, their overall ratings or the ranking order.
- EA’s available Oxford page verifies one club example, not all Championship clubs.
- The accessible sources do not establish whether any clubs have tied top overall ratings or how a tie would be ordered.
- The ratings are game data; the available pages do not establish EA’s full rating methodology, and they should not be read as an objective ranking of real-world ability.
EA released its first highest-rated-player list before FC 26 launched on September 26, 2025, according to 11v11’s launch coverage. That launch context does not fill in the missing Championship club list.
