Let the debate begin.
The 10 highest-rated players in FIFA 19 were revealed Wednesday, the culmination of a countdown that EA Sports has been staging ahead of the game's release later this month - the top 100 players in the newest edition of the franchise have been unveiled in batches over the past week.
Cover athlete Cristiano Ronaldo, now of Juventus, takes top spot for the third consecutive year, once again eking out Barcelona superstar Lionel Messi. The pair actually share the same overall score of 94, but Ronaldo's superior shooting and pace stats help him edge Messi to FIFA 19's top spot.
