Philippe Coutinho, who was a summer transfer target for Barcelona, becomes the first Liverpool player to make it into the top 100 FIFA 18 player rankings.

Coutinho is accompanied with fellow Brazilian David Luiz and his Chelsea team made Cesc Fabregas.

They are joined by another high-profile Premier League player, Romelu Lukaku, who recently joined Manchester United from Everton during the recent summer transfer window.

Spurs duo Harry Kane and Toby Alderweireld become the third and fourth Tottenham players to make the top 100, after previous appearances from Dele Alli and Jan Vertonghen.

FIFA 18 Release date

FIFA 18 is scheduled for release on Friday, September 29.

Before this date, we should have a clear indication of the full list of players to be ranked in the top 100 of FIFA 18.

Cristiano Ronaldo is expected to pip the likes of Lionel Messi and Neymar to be crowned as the top ranked footballer in the new FIFA game. After recently winning the Ballon d'Or 2017, it will be a surprise if anyone else comes in the first spot.
