FIFA 19 Winter Upgrades: 3 Juventus Players Who Will Get A Downgrade

#1 – Sami Khedira

Juventus FC v Benfica FC - International Champions Cup 2018

Another player who is on a downward spiral is Sami Khedira. The German midfielder has not managed to impress one bit this season and has become a benchwarmer.

His tackling, passing and defensive contributions have decreased drastically despite being a defensive midfielder. He has lost his place to Bentancur and it won't be a big surprise if EA give him a downgrade in the winter rating refresh.

Rated at 85 in FIFA 19, Khedira has done very little to justify those ratings. Apart from his pace stats of 57, nothing else actually reflects his on-field performances.

His shooting of 76, passing of 80, dribbling of 78, defending of 81 and even the physical of 85 are way more than what he should be happening. He deserves a push down to 82 or 83 overall with his defending stats coming down to 80.
