The teenage midfielder has been given a significant upgrade in the latest edition of the popular EA Sports football simulation game
United States international and Borussia Dortmund star Giovanni Reyna has been included in FIFA 22’s list of most improved players after another impressive year at Westfalenstadion.
Ahead of October’s release of the latest edition of the popular football simulation game, EA Sports and the Ratings Collective have released player ratings and statistics for all the biggest clubs in Europe, including Dortmund.
Reyna is still one of the lowest-ranked players in the BVB squad, but he has received a significant upgrade from FIFA 21, having now fully established himself as one of the brightest young talents of his generation.
What are Reyna’s stats on FIFA 22?
Reyna had to make do with a 68 rating on the last version of the game, with modest numbers in the six main attribute categories: Pace (77), Dribbling (76), Shot (59), Defence (29), Passing (64), Physical (52).
The 18-year-old has been bumped up to a 77 grading in FIFA 22, though, and his overall statistics have also improved drastically.
Reyna is still rated at 77 for Pace, but his Dribbling has gone up to 82, and he is ranked at 71 for Shot and 36 for Defence. His Passing and Physical numbers have also skyrocketed, with the midfielder now classified as 74 and 71 in those respective categories.
Reyna’s rise at Dortmund
Reyna only made 18 appearances across all competitions for Dortmund in his debut season, but nailed down a regular role in the team in 2020-21 – which proved to be Lucien Favre’s final year as head coach.
The USMNT starlet recorded seven goals and eight assists in 46 games as BVB finished fourth in the Bundesliga and won the DFB Pokal, and has also made a bright start to their latest campaign under new manager Marco Rose.
