Countless hours are set to be lost all over again after Football Manager 23 was officially released this week, and with it a comprehensive list of the top-rated players in the latest version of the long-running managerial simulation franchise.
Using the global scouting network employed by FM23's producers, Sports Interactive, every single player in the game's vast database is given a rating from 1-200 for their Current Ability (CA) and Potentially Ability (PA). CA is the attribute assigned to any given player who dictates how good they are at present, while PA governs how much better players could conceivably become under your management.
