FIFA 22 will hit our consoles on Friday, October 1, with the EA Sports Ratings Release culminating in the game's top 100 players being announced earlier this month.
Now, popular Ultimate Team website FUTBIN has released the full database of player ratings for FIFA 22, allowing fans from clubs all across the globe to check out their team's upgrades and downgrades this year.
Wolverhampton Wanderers are no different, although after a challenging campaign under Nuno Espirito Santo last term, upgrades are few and far between for the Molineux outfit this year.
Here, Sports Mole picks out the highlights of Wolves' FIFA 22 cards and provides the full list of the club's ratings ahead of the game's release.

Raul Jimenez plying his trade on a football field again is a heart-warming sight for any football fan, with the Mexico striker back leading the line following his horrific skull fracture with a headguard in tow.
Jimenez is yet to find the back of the net in five Premier League games this season and managed four goals in 10 appearances last term before his injury layoff, so it is somewhat understandable to see him downgraded from an 84 to an 83 this year.
The former Benfica man still boasts a solid 82 shooting stat, but his pace has taken quite a hit - going from 78 in FIFA 21 to 72 this year - while his dribbling and physical stats have also dropped by one each.
Jimenez's 84 rating last year saw him share the accolade of Wolves' highest-rated player with Rui Patricio - who has since departed for Roma - and the 30-year-old tops the virtual pile at Molineux this year.

No matter how many successful dribbles he may complete week in week out, Adama Traore's goal contributions leave a lot to be desired, and that has certainly been reflected in his FIFA 22 card.
The Spaniard was rated 79 last year but has dropped to a 78 this year after banking just two goals and three assists in the 2020-21 Premier League season, but his pace still stands at an explosive 96.
Unsurprisingly, Traore is ranked as the fastest player in the Premier League and joint-second quickest in the game alongside Alphonso Davies, while only Kylian Mbappe (97) is faster than the Wolves attacker this year.
Traore also retains his 86 dribbling stat and his physical has been bumped up to an 81 from 80, but 66 shooting and 67 passing certainly limits his effectiveness in the opposition penalty area.
Pedro Neto - 78

Another exciting Wolves attacker victim of a long-term injury blow, 21-year-old Pedro Neto caught the eye week in week out last term and ended the 2020-21 Premier League season with five goals and six assists from 31 appearances.
Neto was only ranked as a 72-rated silver card last year but has made an expected jump to gold this year to a 78-rated card, with his +6 representing Wolves' second-highest upgrade behind Yerson Mosquera's mammoth +15.
The Portuguese starlet has seen all six of his base card stats bumped up this year, with his physical going from a 48 to 59, a +2 pace upgrade to 87 and a shooting upgrade of eight from 66 to 74.
