FIFA 19 Upgrades: 3 Real Madrid Players Who Will Get A Downgrade

#2 – Gareth Bale

Al Ain v Real Madrid: Final - FIFA Club World Cup UAE 2018

Gareth Bale was given the responsibility of replacing Cristiano Ronaldo at Real Madrid but he has not managed to do that one bit. He did enjoy a good start to the season but another injury and then a goal drought made things worse for Madrid.

Rated at 88 in FIFA 19, Bale is one of the most sort-after cards in Ultimate Team. Going for a minimum of 240k coins (base card price on PS4), the Welshman might see his current card's price increasing as he will be getting a downgrade in February.

While it won't be a massive downgrade by 4 or 5, EA might push him down to 86 as there are far too many players who have been on top of their form and rated way less. His special cards – UCL, RTTF and TOTY – will remain untouched.
