There are less than 10 days until latest in a popular video game franchise, Fifa 23, comes out.
Perhaps the most-played element of the game, Ultimate Team, rates players in terms of gold, silver and bronze- with all attributes of a players game ranked.
Reading were without a gold player last season, with 74 rated silver John Swift the highest ranked in the Royals squad.
Baba Rahman, on loan from Chelsea, and fellow full-back Andy Yiadom were both 74 and 73 respectively, along with key striker Lucas Joao and Ovie Ejaria.
The 2023 ratings are not out for Reading yet, but EA have announced the top eight players in the second tier.
Take a look at them below.
Mario Gaspar- Watford- 78
A vastly experienced full-back, Gaspar played over 400 times for Villareal- all bar one campaign in the top-flight of Spanish football.
Now 31, he is in his first season out of his homeland and nailed down a spot as the division's highest rated player.
Ismaila Sarr- Watford- 77
Many expected the explosive winger to have departed Vicarage Road over the summer but the 24-year-old remains and is the highest ranked forward in the division.
13 goals in the Championship last time out in 2021, many think he will better that tally this time around.
Zack Steffen- Middlesbrough- 77
Making his name in his native USA in the MLS, he has been on Manchester City's books since 2019.
Playing 21 times, Chris Wilder has taken the 27-year-old keeper on loan for the season- becoming the highest ranked shot stopper in the division.
Tim Krul- Norwich City- 76
A Championship veteran, the former Newcastle United goalkeeper has won two titles since his arrival at Carrow Road in 2018.
Regularly one of the top ranked keepers, he retains that place but loses out on top spot to Steffen.
Ashley Westwood- Burnley- 76
A steady presence in midfield for the Clarets, Westwood is playing just his second campaign out of the Premier League since 2012.
Now one of the more experienced central players for Vincent Kompany's side, his know-how will be invaluable to keep the Turf Moor outfit ticking along.
Charlie Taylor- Burnley- 75
Making his name in the second tier with local side Leeds United almost a decade ago, Taylor has been undroppable for Burnley since his 2017 arrival.
Now approaching 30, he has turned from a boy into a man in Lancashire, earning himself a reputation as one of the top performing left-backs across the top two divisions.
Isaac Hayden- Norwich City- 75
A defensive midfielder with prestige of breaking through Arsenal's cademy, the holding central player has been a regular for Newcastle United since their Championship win in 2017.
On loan at Carrow Road, he will bring some bite and energy to Dean Smith's outfit as they look for an immediate return to the Premier League.
Okay Yokuşlu- West Brom- 75
A popular figure from his first spell in 2021, the 28-year-old has great experience wiin his native Turkey and with Celta Vigo in La Liga.
An international for his country, the midfielder brings bustle and bustle to a midfield full with flair and imagination.
