EA Sports is set to announce the top 10 best players in Fifa 19 tomorrow, however by a process of elimination it is already possible to predict which players will feature.

The gaming giant has been releasing its list of the top 100 players to feature in this year's game, scheduled to be released on 28 September.

Players ranked from 20 to 11 in the game were published on the EA Sports website on Tuesday, featuring some players who were surprisingly omitted from the top 10.

England captain Harry Kane failed to make the cut, despite winning the Golden Boot at the 2018 Fifa World Cup.

Barring any major surprises the top 10 players in Fifa 19 will be: Eden Hazard, Sergio Ramos, Toni Kroos, Kevin de Bruyne, Luis Suarez, Neymar, David de Gea, Luka Modric, Lionel Messi, and Cristiano Ronaldo.

All of the top 10 players will feature a rating above 90, with the biggest decision for the game's creators being whether to rank Messi above Ronaldo.

Some leaks suggest that Ronaldo, who stars on the front cover of the game, will top the list with an overall rating of 94.
