​Since it's release seven years ago, so much has changed in the world of football that looking back on FIFA 10 feels somewhat surreal.





Cesc Fabregas was still at Arsenal, Emmanuel Adebayor was rated 89 and Brazilian right-back Maicon had one of the highest rated cards in the game (92).





One of the things that hasn't changed, however, is that Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi still dominate the world of football; sharing the Ballon d'Or between them since 2008. For that reason, let's start off with a look at Ronaldo's FIFA 10 ratings...

Ignoring all "in-form" or Team of the Year rated Ultimate Team players, Ronaldo was the highest rated player in the game - the same as this year. Unsurprisingly though, Messi wasn't very far behind...

Manchester United's Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who partnered Messi & Co. at Barcelona in those days, wasn't too far behind the diminutive Argentine with his rating either. Aside from a change of haircut, Zlatan is pretty much exactly the same on FIFA 17 with a rating of 90.

Next up is a look back to Ronaldo's current teammate, Gareth Bale, who was still just a Tottenham Hotspur left-back in those days. How things have changed ever since...

Bale's Spurs teammate, who he followed to Madrid, didn't have too bad a rating on FIFA 10. However, with the likes of Marouane Fellaini holding a similar rating nowadays, it's clear that Luka Modric's ratings needed a significant upgrade.

Now one of the best strikers on the planet, Luis Suarez was still at Ajax when FIFA 10 was released. Since then, he has torn up the Premier League with Liverpool and further proven his ability by outscoring the likes of Messi and Ronaldo to win the Pichichi at Barcelona....

Over in the Bundesliga, Mats Hummels is currently one of the highest rated defenders in the game. This was far from the case seven years ago however, when he had a lowly rating of 77...

His rating wasn't the only Bundesliga shock though, with Werder Bremen's Mesut Ozil receiving a score of 76...

Sticking with the Bundesliga, have a look at how ridiculous Marco Reus' FIFA 10 rating was. He didn't even have a gold card...

And neither did Bayern Munich's Robert Lewandowski...

But even crazier is the fact that Kevin de Bruyne didn't even have a silver card...

Neither did Thibaut Courtois, who is currently one of the best goalkeepers in the Premier League...

Their Belgian teammate, Eden Hazard, didn't have too much of a bad rating in those days compared to some of the others in this list...

Whilst one of the Premier League's current top goalscorers, Alexis Sanchez, was a little way away from his current rating back in those days as well...

As was fellow leading goalscorer, Sergio Aguero, with a ridiculous shooting rating of just 78...

To really put things into perspective though, current Atletico Madrid star Antoine Griezmann didn't even have an Ultimate Team card despite breaking into the Real Sociedad side that year...

The situation was more or less the same for Barcelona star, Neymar, who only had a laughable potential rating of 84...
