Players

There are 16,000+ players in the game. That is a lot of players. In this section I have listed

• the Top 50 players
• the Top 20 goalkeepers
• the Top 20 strongest players
• the Top 20 free kick takers and
• all the 5-star skillers
  
• the Legends

I have also added the Legends which have been added exclusively to XBox upon the release of the XBox One.
If you want to see who are the best players by attribute (e.g. agility), then these are all searchable on the player database/goalkeeper database at www.ultimatedb.nl.
