Kevin De Bruyne is the best passer in FIFA 22, with the Manchester City playmaker receiving a rating of 93 for passing.

The Belgian is one of the best midfielders in the world and certainly known for his ball distribution whether it be via regular passes, long diagonals, or crosses.

The 93 rating for passing is a major contributor to his overall rating of 91.

Lionel Messi is already in the top 19 for best dribblers, five-star skill rating and overall rating in FIFA 22, and he makes the list for passing also with a rating of 90.

Real Madrid midfielder Toni Kroos also enjoys a passing rating of 90, and an overall rating of 88.

The top five is rounded out by Villarreal midfielder Dani Parejo and Kroos' Real Madrid team-mate Luka Modric.

There is only one defender in the top 19 passers in FIFA 22 and that is Trent Alexander-Arnold.

Many pundits and fans have been calling for the Liverpool man to actually be moved into midfield due to his passing talents, but at the moment he is revolutionising the right-back position due to his distribution and deliveries.

There is one player in the top 19 who does not have an overall rating of 80 and that is former Real Madrid winger Pedro Leon.

He may be plying his trade with Fuenlabrada in the Segunda Division, but in FIFA he still holds a passing rating of 86, on par with the likes of Youri Tielemans, Thiago, Joshua Kimmich and Paul Pogba.

All of these players can be purchased on Career Mode as well as FIFA Ultimate Team.
