With the release of FIFA 20 just around the corner, EA Sports have been confirming the ratings of their top 100 players in the game.
The official player ratings have been released and the decision to rate Mohamed Salah higher than Raheem Sterling has not gone down well with rival supporters.
As shown on the official Premier League’s Twitter account, Salah has been given a 90-rated card, while Sterling is only an 88-rated winger.
Judging by these reactions on social media, a number of rival fans are not happy with the announcement.

Read Liverpool verdict
The Sterling and Salah debate is nothing new and it’s something that has been a big talking point among supporters of the Premier League, not just Liverpool and Manchester City fans.
Salah (27) narrowly edged out Sterling (25) in terms of goals in all competitions last season, something that could have been a factor in the decision.
Both played key roles in their respective team’s success, with Liverpool winning the Champions League and Manchester City winning the Premier League once again.
Salah’s 90 rated card makes him not only one of the best attackers in the Premier League but one of the most sought after cards in the entire game.
