Players of the most popular sports video game franchise will be counting down the days until the release of FIFA 23.
The newest version drops officially on Friday, September 30, but EA Play users will be able to access the game slightly early on Tuesday, September 27.
Already, EA Sports has shared some of the top-rated players in FIFA 23.
In the latest batch of player rating reveals, EA has confirmed which players have received the greatest boost from their FIFA 22 versions.
Let's take a look...
Malo Gusto kicks off the list with an upgrade of nine points - from 66 to 75. There'll be plenty of players eyeing up the 19-year-old for their starter teams.
Josip Sutalo receives the exact same upgrade as Gusto, from 66 to 75. He showed in Dinamo Zagreb's Champions League win against Chelsea exactly why he has received such a boost to his rating.
Another upgrade of nine ratings, this time for Patrick Wimmer. The 21-year-old Wolfsburg midfielder was a 67-rated silver last year but will start this year's game as a 76-rated gold.
Pierre Kalulu is the next player to have been given a rating boost of nine. With 80 pace, the 22-year-old Frenchman will certainly be a popular card on Ultimate Team in the early cycle of FIFA 23.
Georginio Rutter's strong 2021-22 campaign for Hoffenheim has earned him the boost for a 65-rated silver to a 75-rated gold. Avid FIFA fans might remember his Silver Stars card from last year.
Djed Spence has also received a boost of 10 points. The role he played in Nottingham Forest's Premier League promotion campaign last term also earned him a move to Tottenham.
Wilfried Singo is the third player to be boosted by 10 points for FIFA 23. His impressive season at Torino has seen him jump from being a 66-rated silver to a 76-rated gold.
Nico Schlotterbeck is the fourth, and final, player to have received a 10-rating boost. After standing out for Freiburg last term, he earned a lucrative move to Dortmund during the summer.
Castello Lukeba is the only player to have been given a rating upgrade of 11 on FIFA 23. He's the second Lyon defender to make this list after Gusto.
Fran Navarro is the first of three players to be given a 12-rating boost from last year. His brilliant season for Gil Vicente in Portugal - where he scored 16 league goals - has seen him rise from a 63-rated bronze to a 75-rated gold.
Nicolo Casale was also a bronze card this time last year. He too has received an upgrade of 12 points and will start FIFA 23 with a 76 rating.
Vitinha was one of several midfielders bought by PSG this summer. He earned that move on the back of an impressive season at Porto and that has also seen his FIFA rating boosted by 12, from 67 to 79.
Warmed Omari is the fourth French defender to make the list of most improved player on FIFA 23. The young centre-back played an important role for Rennes last season and has been boosted from a 62-rated bronze to a 75-rated gold.
Tino Livramento enjoyed a brilliant breakthrough season with Southampton last term and has received the second highest upgrade in FIFA 23. Unfortunately, he sustained an ACL injury back in April so may not feature for the Saints until the new year.
And finally, the most improved player on FIFA 23 is Hugo Ekitike! The 20-year-old's 10 goals and four assists for Stade Reims last season earned him a summer move to PSG where he will have the chance to play alongside the likes of Lionel Messi, Neymar and Kylian Mbappe.
