Igor Thiago gets one of the biggest upgrades among Brazilians in EAFC 27 | OneFootball

Igor Thiago received recognition worthy of the standout season he had with Brentford. The Brazilian striker went from a 75 to an 82 overall in EA FC 27, one of the biggest upgrades among Brazilian players in the new edition of the game.

The improvement comes after a historic Premier League season. In 2025/26, Igor Thiago scored 22 goals in 38 matches in the English league and finished among the competition’s top scorers, behind only Manchester City’s Erling Haaland.

His performances also secured the Brazilian a place in Premier League history. With 22 goals, Igor Thiago set the record for a Brazilian player in a single Premier League season, surpassing the 15-goal mark previously held by Matheus Cunha, Gabriel Martinelli, and Roberto Firmino.

In addition to his individual numbers, the striker ended the season with 25 goals in all competitions. His performances also earned him a place in the PFA Team of the Season, as well as Brentford’s Player of the Season awards voted by both the fans and the players themselves.

His strong form also earned Igor Thiago a call-up to the Brazil national team for the 2026 World Cup. Although he had limited minutes on the pitch during the tournament, the striker ended the season leading up to the competition as one of the top Brazilian names in English football.

Ahead of him is goalkeeper Renato Marin of Paris Saint-Germain, who rose from 62 to 70 overall, an increase of eight points. The Brazilian spent the 2025/26 season on loan at Nacional in Portugal. William Gomes, formerly of São Paulo and now at Porto, also appears among the Brazilians with the biggest improvement in the new edition of the game.

Manchester City center-back Vitor Reis saw a six-point increase and joined the group of Brazilian players who improved the most in the ratings. Chelsea forward João Pedro, meanwhile, gained three overall points.
