Messi is FIFA 15's highest rated player

During the last few weeks, EA Sports has revealed FIFA 15's best 50 players, for the Ultimate Team Mode. There was some particular interest in the top 3, as that would determine who is FIFA 15's best player. No real surprise, that's Leo Messi. Only one English (Rooney) and one Welsh player (Bale) made the cut.
