Achraf Hakimi named the best right-back in EA FC 27

Morocco international Achraf Hakimi has been ranked the highest-rated right-back in EA FC 27, with the Paris Saint-Germain defender earning an overall rating of 88 following his impressive performances for the French club.

The 27-year-old has established himself as one of the leading players in his position through his combination of pace, technical ability and defensive strength, while also making a significant contribution to his team’s attacking play.

Hakimi, whose market value is estimated at €80m, joined PSG from Inter Milan in 2021 in a transfer reportedly worth about €68m. Since arriving in Paris, he has continued to deliver consistent performances in domestic and European competitions.

His latest recognition in the popular football video game adds to his growing list of individual achievements. After helping PSG secure two consecutive Champions League titles and finishing 13th in the 2026 Ballon d’Or rankings, the Moroccan has now emerged as the leading right-back in EA FC 27.

According to American magazine Sports Illustrated, Hakimi occupies the top position in the game’s official ratings for right-backs, ahead of several established names from Europe’s leading clubs.

Hakimi leads the competition

The PSG defender’s rating reflects his ability to influence matches at both ends of the pitch. His pace remains his strongest attribute, with a score of 92, allowing him to cover ground quickly and provide an attacking threat from the right flank.

Hakimi also has ratings of 82 for dribbling and defending, while his physical strength and passing are both rated at 81. His shooting score stands at 79, underlining his ability to contribute beyond his primary defensive responsibilities.

These attributes make him a versatile option for players seeking a right-back capable of supporting attacks while maintaining defensive effectiveness.

Hakimi’s overall rating of 88 places him ahead of several prominent defenders and versatile players who feature in the same position in EA FC 27.

Bayern Munich’s Konrad Laimer, Atletico Madrid’s Marcos Llorente and Barcelona’s Jules Kounde each have an overall rating of 85. Chelsea’s Reece James and Real Madrid’s Trent Alexander-Arnold are also among the leading names, with both players rated at 84.

The rankings highlight the competition for recognition among some of Europe’s most prominent players in the right-back position. However, Hakimi’s combination of speed, defensive qualities and attacking output has given him the advantage in the latest edition of the game.

His ability to move forward, create opportunities and contribute to goals has helped distinguish him from traditional defenders, whose responsibilities are often concentrated on stopping opposition attacks.

For EA FC 27 players looking to strengthen the right side of their defence, Hakimi’s overall rating of 88 makes him the highest-rated option among the right-backs listed.

The ranking also reflects the reputation he has built during his time at PSG, where his performances in major domestic and continental competitions have reinforced his standing among the leading players in his position.
