Inazuma Eleven: Victory Road has the largest playable roster in the entire franchise, combining all players from past games and series into one massive product.
With over 5,400 players in the game, it can be difficult to narrow down exactly who to use, especially if you're new to the franchise and don't have established favorites. While you can just use whoever you like the look of, if you want a more solid answer, here's our ranking of the top players.
Level explanation
Each tier list is divided by the player's main position, so goalkeepers are not ranked against forwards, and so on.
Since you can use any skill and equipment with any character, we've ranked them instead by their total base stats, with S-Tier players having the highest base stats.
Due to how many players are in the game, we can't list them all here, but this should be enough to give you an idea of where to start.
