The first FUT appearance for Gerard Piqué, who was only 21 years old back then, was in FIFA 09. He started off with an 85 rating. | © EarlyGame / EA Sports
After the Quadruple consisting of LaLiga, Copa del Rey, UEFA Champions League and the Club World Cup, the Spaniard got a huge downgrade to 81. Back then, EA had very strict ratings... | © EarlyGame / EA Sports
In the next year, he got back to his initial rating of 85. Piqué was one of the most exciting center back prospects at that time and really earned the upgrade after winning the World Cup. | © EarlyGame / EA Sports
Another upgrade makes Gerard Piqué one of the highest rated cards in FUT 12. It looked like the Spaniard would be on his way to one of the best center backs of all time. | © EarlyGame / EA Sports
The second European Championship and also the second downgrade for Piqué. He still had a strong rating of 86, but received a solid downgrade... Piqué has also made it into FIFA 13's TOTY! | © EarlyGame / EA Sports
In FIFA 14, his rating remained the same. He was seen as one of the best defenders in the world, which was also supported by the hype around the Spanish national team. Many people expected the fourth title in a row. In FIFA 14, the legendary World Cup Mode was born. | © EarlyGame / EA Sports
The next downgrade for Piqué. Barça had its first season without any big trophy in years, which also affected Piqué's rating. | © EarlyGame / EA Sports
FC Barcelona came back extremely strong and won the next Quadruple. Piqué's rating was just increased slightly, though. Another questionable decision by EA. | © EarlyGame / EA Sports
EA have now increased the Spaniard's rating to 87. This was definitely the right choice, as the Barça legend made it into the Team of the Year for the second time. | © EarlyGame / EA Sports
After his second TOTY card, Piqué's rating remained 87. He now belongs to the best defenders in the world and became an idol for many Barça fans. | © EarlyGame / EA Sports
The same rating of 87 for three years in a row! Barcelona won the Spanish League once again and were also crowned Copa del Rey champions. | © EarlyGame / EA Sports
The last upgrade for Piqué! On the way to his FIFA 20 rating, Barça could defend the league title and also win the Super Cup. | © EarlyGame/ EA Sports
In FIFA 21, the decline of the at that time 33-year-old started. Barcelona wasn't the same superpower they were back in the Pep Guardiola days, and even Messi left the club at the end of the 21/22 season. Unimaginable back then... | © EarlyGame / EA Sports
Barcelona really develops into a meme, and the performances on the pitch can't back up their status as a football club. The debts, the bad club management and the amount of managers are now the topics which dominate FC Barcelona. | © EarlyGame / EA Sports
The last ever FIFA card for Gerard Piqué is still decent. Some Barça fans aren't happy with the performances of the club legend, and Piqué himself started to make the headlines with his actions off the pitch. We just have to name mega talent Pedri... A legend of the beautiful game ends his career with 35 years! | © EarlyGame / EA Sports
Gerard Piqué has won everything there is to win in football. LaLiga, Copa del Rey, the Spanish Super Cup, the UEFA Super Cup, the English Super Cup, the Premier League, the Club World Cup, the English League Cup and of course two European Championships and one World Cup.
Now the Barça legend has announced his retirement, and we take a look at the FIFA Ultimate Team Ratings from FIFA 09 to FIFA 23 of one of the best center backs of the 21st century.
