There’s a long list of players who have been removed from FIFA for various reasons, including the likes of Mason Greenwood, but in Ronaldo’s case it means that he could potentially be unavailable until he finds a new club. I’ve discussed the need for a serious ratings revisit, but Ronaldo is still one of the most popular FUT cards and features prominently in a lot of squads. So while not even the staunchest Messi supporter would deny that Ronaldo is a legend, those legends have to be retired, and Ronaldo certainly doesn’t want to hang it up just yet. Even though CR7 would find himself still available within career mode, Ultimate Team only features players that are either tied to current clubs or those who are considered legends. His “High” attacking work rate also needs to come back down to earth considering his lack of movement these days as he’s merely a penalty box poacher who operates solely inside of the 18-yard box. Currently a 90 OVR as of the November 16 update, Ronaldo should be much closer to the 80 OVR level considering he’s lost a step and isn’t nearly as clinical as he was. Despite all that he’s accomplished - and make no mistake, what he and Messi did for over a decade was mind blowing, both in terms of individual statistics and club/country trophy hauls - Ronaldo in his current form and age is massively overrated. Considering his agent, Jorge Mendes, shopped his services around this summer and no one was interested, it’s quite possible that it will be some time before he finds a new home, especially as the player will be focused on the World Cup with his native Portugal.Īssuming he does find a club, since he’s technically a free agent now he will not need to wait until January to find a club - but considering the European season doesn’t resume until late December/early January, this shouldn’t be too much of a factor.

Ronaldo will no longer be listed as a Manchester United player, meaning that him and his huge salary will find himself in the free agents pool until he finds a new home.

For players within career mode, there’s not much to worry about if you’re a CR7 fan.
