When the latest ratings were revealed, many felt Aaron Wan-Bissaka had been short-changed with just a 6-point upgrade.

Stats indicate that the Crystal Palace right-back is the best tackler in all of Europe's top leagues, and that was evident in the upgrade he received, with his tackling stats going from 73 and 78 to 82 and 88 respectively.

Wan-Bissaka is also the only Premier League player to have been upgraded from a silver to gold card and is well on course to usurp the likes of Kyle Walker and Kieran Trippier to become the best right back in English football.

#1 Jadon Sancho (72 -> 78)

Earlier, we had predicted that Jadon Sancho would be the player to get the highest upgrade, and boy did we hit the nail on the head!

A rating of 72 was simply far too low for a player who has taken the Bundesliga by storm this season, and many felt the upgrades would result in Sancho breaching the 80-mark, at the very least.

However, that's not the case as the Dortmund starlet received just a six-point boost, going from 72 to 78.

Sancho's card has been updated from silver to gold though and he is one of several Dortmund players to receive major boosts in their ratings. The likes of Marco Reus and Axel Witsel too received significant upgrades, with both players' ratings increasing by three points.

Coming back to Sancho, the traits that EA truly addressed were his shooting and passing, which went from a woeful 56 and 62 to 64 and 69 respectively. Those numbers still seem inadequate for someone who, at the age of just 18, already has a Player of the Month (October 2018) card to his name.
