Lenglet took the opportunity with both hands and has been the standout performer in defence. He has exceeded all expectations meaning Barcelona are ready to let go of Umtiti if he wants to leave.
Rated at just 82 in the game, EA Sports had a great chance to increase his ratings in the FIFA 19 Winter Upgrades. However, they chose not to, leaving him at the low rating for another 9 months.
With Matthijs de Ligt also rumoured to be joining Barcelona in the summer, a defensive pairing of the Dutchman and the Frenchman would be a dream to watch at Camp Nou.
