The talented teenager has seen his rating improve by eight points from last year's title, meaning he is now the ninth-highest rated superstar in the game. Other players to receive substantial upgrades are Yamal's Barcelona team-mate Raphinha (+5), who also makes the top 10, and PSG defender Achraf Hakimi (+5).
