EA Sports have rounded off an exciting week of FIFA 18 rating releases with their first 90-rated player and it's a special one.
Manchester United goalkeeper David de Gea will be given a deserved 90-rated card on Ultimate Team ahead of the release on September 29.
De Gea's diving, speed and positioning stats have received an upgrade in the process, as the Spaniard embarks on his sixth season at Old Trafford.

Throughout the week, EA Sports have released different player cards descending from 100 to the highest rated card in the game, and there's been a few surprises throughout.
Liverpool's flying winger Sadio Mane was rated lower than Manchester United's Henrikh Mkhitaryan, which was subject to intense scrutiny from FIFA aficionados, not to mention Liverpool fans.
But Marco Asensio's FIFA 18 rating is even more questionable.
The 21-year-old's stats have been revealed and avid gamers will have do with a 84 rated player.

As we mentioned earlier, one of the big talking points this week stems from the fact that Liverpool's Sadio Mane, who scored 16 goals for the club after his £34 million move from Southampton a year ago, is rated lower than Manchester United's Henrikh Mkhitaryan.
Mkhitaryan, despite his obvious talents, had a relatively average (by his standards) debut campaign at Manchester United.
Mane is the 98th best player on the game, with his 84 card boasting 93 pace and 85 dribbling. Mkhitaryan, meanwhile is 15 places higher in 83rd and is 85-rated, with stats such as 86 pace and 86 dribbling.
