Lucas Digne is the highest rated Everton player in FIFA 21.

2. Allan- 83

The other new recruit for Everton, Allan has also lost 1 point on his FIFA 21 rating dropping to 83 from 84. The degrade can only be explainable because he moved to Everton from Napoli and the Toffees didn’t have a good season coupled with his injury issues last season.

The CDM has been rock solid for Everton on field. His stamina is his highest stat (92) proving the tag of an ever-running engine. Allan doesn’t shy away from making meaty challenges to recover the ball and that has been showcased well in his aggression stat (90). He is one of the most defensively sound midfielders with marking at 87, slide tackle at 86 and stand tackle at 88.

1. Lucas Digne- 84

Lucas Digne has maintained high level of performances consistently and the 84 rating on FIFA 21 attests the notion. He and Richarlison were outstanding in a gloomy last season and deserves to be one of the highest rated Everton players. However, he still seems to be a little underrated in my opinion.

Digne’s highest stat is his jumping which is often visible on the field by his ability to win almost every header. He is a great crosser of the ball 87 stat on crossing is rightfully allotted. Lucas Digne even has a knack of scoring free kicks which is why his shot power (83), FK accuracy (83) and curve (83) are high compared to any other defender.
