France v Croatia - 2018 FIFA World Cup Russia Final
Presnel Kimpembe might be the worst among the centre-back trio at PSG but that does not mean he has been bad. Marquinhos got an upgrade from 84 to 85 while Thiago Silva is already rated at 88 and didn't need to be upgraded.

Kimpembe, meanwhile, is rated at just 83 and should have got upgraded to 84, at least. The Frenchman has been brilliant whenever he has been on the pitch and is the proper heir to Thiago Silva.
EA Sports, however, opted to give Kylian Mbappe and Marquinhos upgrades and ignored all the others. How players like Kimpembe, Di Maria and Verratti went under the radar will be unknown but if they do not get an upgrade when FIFA 20 is out, this might just be a conspiracy.
