Nigerian striker, Victor Boniface has been unveiled as the highest-rated player in Werder Bremen’s squad on EA Sports FC 26, despite only joining the Bundesliga club during the summer transfer window.

Boniface, who arrived on loan from Bayer Leverkusen after a failed move to AC Milan, has been handed an overall rating of 81, according to German outlet Deichstube.

The figure makes him the top-rated player at the Weserstadion, even after a season of mixed fortunes in Leverkusen, where injuries and loss of form affected his performances.

The 24-year-old forward had been rated 85 in last year’s edition, EA Sports FC 25, following an outstanding 2023/2024 campaign in which he helped Leverkusen secured a domestic double and reach the UEFA Europa League final.

His new rating reflects a slight dip, but Boniface has already shown promising signs of a revival, registering an assist on his Bremen debut in a 4-0 win over Borussia Monchengladbach.

Meanwhile, his Super Eagles and Bremen teammate Felix Agu also saw his profile rise, with the defender’s rating climbing from 72 to 75 in the new edition of the popular football video game.
