Gabriel Martinelli's FIFA 23 rating has today been revealed by EA Sports, but Arsenal fans won't be happy with his rating.
Martinelli has been in sensational form for Arsenal at the beginning of this season, scoring three goals in six Premier League appearances so far, helping the Gunners to the summit of the league table. The 21-year-old also scored six goals and registered six assists in 29 appearances for the club in their last campaign.
But despite the youngster's impressive season and obvious mega talent, EA Sports haven't given him a significant upgrade for this year's FIFA title, FIFA 23.

FIFA 23 is due to be released on Friday, September 30, 2022, and ahead of the release, EA Sports has begun rolling out the player ratings for the FIFA 23 Ultimate Team game mode. Martinelli is featured in best Under-21 players on FIFA 23 ahead of this year's release, which is strange considering he's not aged under 21.
This reveal confirms that Gabriel Martinelli has been given an overall rating of just 78 out of 99 on FIFA 23, which is an upgrade of two rating points compared to FIFA 22, but still seems staggeringly low for a player of his talent.
The Brazilian's shooting (69-71), passing (67-68), dribbling (78-80), defending (44-45) and physical (67-68) ratings have been slightly increased but his 87 pace remains the same as in FIFA 23. When compared against his Arsenal teammates, admittedly only a few FIFA 23 ratings concerning Arsenal have been released, but the 21-year-old is rated considerably lower than Aaron Ramsdale (82), Bukayo Saka (82) and William Saliba (80).
Do you think Martinelli's FIFA 23 player rating is correct? Let us know in the comments below!
FIFA 23 will be released worldwide on Friday, September 30, 2022. FIFA 23 is the final instalment in EA Sports' FIFA franchise, with the 30-year partnership between EA and FIFA coming to an end earlier this year.
FIFA 23 is developed by EA Vancouver and EA Romania and will be available worldwide on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, PC, Stadia, PS4, and Xbox One on September 30. Early access for FIFA 23 Ultimate Edition begins on September 27, 2022.
