This morning, EA released their Play-Now/CFM roster ratings for Madden 20. The roster set is highlighted by four 99 OVR players in Aaron Donald, DeAndre Hopkins, Khalil Mack, and Bobby Wagner. 

Here are your Top 10 players by overall rating in Madden 20.

• Aaron Donald (LAR) | 99 OVR
• DeAndre Hopkins (HOU) | 99 OVR
• Khalil Mack (CHI) | 99 OVR
• Bobby Wagner (SEA) | 99 OVR
• Antonio Brown (OAK) | 98 OVR
• Julio Jones (ATL) | 98 OVR
• Luke Kuechly (CAR) | 98 OVR
• David Bakhtiari (GB) | 97 OVR
• Todd Gurley II (LAR) | 97 OVR
• Patrick Mahomes (KC) | 97 OVR

Base Madden Ultimate Team rosters tend to start with lower overall ratings at launch than base rosters. Usually, the best players in the main rosters will begin the year in the 89-92 OVR range in MUT. For example, let's compare the MUT 19 "NFL Draft" Deandre Hopkins (which came out in late March) to the Madden 20 "99 Overall" Deandre Hopkins (at launch):

As you can see, the MUT "Overall" formula differs a bit from regular roster formula.Typically speaking, you're going to need to max out in every important rating for a given position in MUT to achieve the 99 OVR rating, while there is a little wiggle room where you can still achieve the 99 Overall designation in "Regs" rosters.

Either way, this database will allow you to do some mental team-building in anticipation of our MUT ratings release (exact date TBD)! You can check out the rest of the the rankings on EA's Player Ratings Database.

What do you think of these MUT 19 Ultimate Legends?

Today EA released the long-awaited Rookie Premiere Program in Madden 19. Here are the (10x) 99 OVR Rookie Premiere items you can get:

Who are the Madden 19 Rookie Premiere Players?

• Kyler Murray (QB)
• Josh Jacobs (HB)
• Marquise Brown (WR)
• T.J. Hockenson (TE)
• Chris Lindstrom (RG)
• Quinnen Williams (DT)
• Nick Bosa (RE)
• Devin Bush (MLB)
• Deandre Baker (CB)
• Darnell Savage Jr. (FS)

There are also 92 OVR versions of these players that you can find in the Muthead Database.

How do you get the Rookie Premiere players?

In order to get the Rookie Premiere players, you need to complete their Rookie Premiere sets. Each Rookie Premiere player's set takes 10x Rookie Premiere Tokens to complete.

How do these items translate to Madden 20?

The only way that these players will translate into Madden 20 is if you complete the sets. If you buy these players on the Auction House they will not translate.

If you complete the sets and earn these players, you will receive a lower OVR version of the player in Madden 20. This item will get upgraded throughout the year based on the ratings of that particular player in MUT, very similar to how the program worked this year.

Solos

There are 10 solos. By completing all of the solos you will get a 92 OVR version of each of the Rookie Premiere players and one additional Rookie Premiere Token.

Sets

Complete the Rookie Premiere sets to earn a 99 OVR version of the player in MUT 19 and get a MUT 20 version the first time you log in to Madden 20. The MUT 20 version will update automatically whenever a new version of that player is released (through February).

Each Rookie Premiere Player set requires (10x) Rookie Premiere Tokens and will reward you with a NAT 99 OVR Rookie Premiere player in MUT 19 and a Rookie Premiere version of that player in MUT 20.

Here's how to get Rookie Premiere Tokens from Sets:

• (2x) 92 OVR Rookie Premiere Player = (1x) Rookie Premiere Token (repeatable)
• (1x) 98-99 OVR NFL Draft Player = (6x) Rookie Premiere Token (repeatable 2x)
• (1x) 95-97 OVR NFL Draft Player = (2x) Rookie Premiere Token (repeatable 5x)
• (2x) 91-94 OVR NFL Draft Player = (1x) Rookie Premiere Token (repeatable 4x)
• (2x) Elite Token = (1x) Rookie Premiere Token (repeatable 8x)
• (8x) Gold Token = (1x) Rookie Premiere Token (repeatable 4x)
• (24x) Silver Token = (1x) Rookie Premiere Token (repeatable 2x)
• (1x) MUT Master Completion Token = (10x) Rookie Premiere Tokens.

You also receive 1x Rookie Premiere Token just for logging into MUT.

Note: This is the final program of MUT 19.
