Kudus reacts to his rating on FC 26
In the build-up, ratings for individual players have been revealed, with Tottenham Hotspur stars getting their turn.
Kudus, however, was far from impressed when his numbers appeared.
“I’m way stronger than that. 74? No. I need like 90,” he said, reacting to his strength rating in front of amused teammates.
Watch Kudus’ reaction to his rating:
Per Ghanasoccernet, the 25-year-old forward has been given an overall rating of 80, with his blistering pace (89) and sharp dribbling (86) marked as standout traits.
However, his frustration stems from what he views as an undervaluation of his physical presence — a detail that has sparked debate ahead of the game’s launch.
Kudus may have a point, as he sits among the Premier League’s top five players for duels won this season.
According to Stat Muse, the Right to Dream Academy product has already come out on top in 30 contests across four matches, underlining his power, grit, and resilience on the field.

Kudus’ impact at Tottenham
Beyond the virtual world, Kudus has already made an impression at Tottenham since joining this summer.
He has provided two assists in four Premier League appearances, drawing praise for his work rate, sharp dribbling and determination in duels.
While he is yet to score, his influence has been visible in matches, drawing praise from fans and pundits alike.
Recently, veteran English commentator Ian Darke tipped Kudus, alongside fellow signing Xavi Simons, to give the North London side an extra edge this season.
“I think he’s a very good signing. I think he’s an excellent player, a good signing, and a versatile player as well. But he’ll play on the left if necessary, but they’ve got other options out on the left,” Darke told Tottenham News.
Tottenham return to action on Saturday, September 20, against Brighton and Hove Albion at 14:00 GMT.
Kudus enters the fixture with fond memories, having scored twice in two previous encounters with the Seagulls.
With his search for a first Spurs goal ongoing, he will be eager to extend that record in front of the home crowd.
