The player who has been highest rated the most in PES games was Messi, coming first 5 times which is the same amount of times he has won the B'allon Dor. 

Ronaldo is in second place with 2 and the only other player to come first was Buffon back in 2010. 

Ronaldo was the only player to feature in the top 10 every year.

PES ratings system has been pretty shocking at times especially when it comes to overrating random players and slapping them with an overall in the 88-90 range and the worst rating system was arguably in PES 2014 when the players overall skyrocketed. There is good news for the future though as the ratings in PES 2017 seem to be the fairest and most accurate ones to date.
