The first player ratings have already been released, with Erling Haaland and Kevin De Bruyne of Manchester City receiving the highest scores (91 each) among Premier League stars.
Christopher Nkunku is the highest-rated player for Chelsea, followed by Reece James and Silva, both of whom have ratings of 84.
The EA ratings for the majority of players have significantly decreased as a result of the Blues' 12th-place performance in the Premier League last year.
The only other Chelsea players to receive a rating higher than 80 are Moises Caicedo, Ben Chilwell, and club-record acquisition Raheem Sterling.
