FIFA 19 is coming out this month, and with the drop right around the corner, Los Angeles Football Club are finally in the game, properly.
The MLS expansion team can soon be played like every other team in the game, no need to custom build a team to use the black-and-gold.
So, where do the LAFC players rank? There are four* gold players (a fifth, Laurent Ciman, of course recently transferred to Ligue 1 side Dijon), topped by Carlos Vela. No surprise there.

There are 14 silver rated players, from Danilo Silva at 73 to hotshot prospect Josh Perez at 65.

And then there are six players rated bronze. The biggest surprise? Eduard Atuesta is rated 63, the lowest among regular starters.

So there you have it. What do you think of the ratings? Fair game or not enough respect for LAFC players? The global project is a massive one, but it will be interesting to see how these ratings evolve over time now that they are out in the wilderness.
