For the first time in the USA National Women’s Soccer League, EA Sports revealed the FIFA 23 ratings for all 12 teams, and the top 5 players are:
• Alex Morgan – 90
• Debinha – 88
• Rosemary Lavelle – 87
• Sophia Smith – 87
• Mallory Swanson – 87
These rankings align with Firld estimations of player market values. In November 2022, a New York-based startup released estimations of market values for professional women’s soccer players, and the top 5 players by market value are:
• Mallory Swanson – 255 (Th. EUR)
• Alex Morgan – 224
• Sophia Smith – 212
• Rosemary Lavelle – 190
• Jordyn Huitema – 171
While the FIFA rankings and Firld market value estimations use different approaches, it’s hard to ignore the striking similarities between the two. This is a testament to the accuracy and effectiveness of the Firld model.
