FIFA 19 Winter Upgrades: 5 Premier League players who should have got upgrades

How did EA miss out on giving these players an upgrade?

#3 Sadio Mane

Liverpool FC v West Ham United - Premier League

Sadio Mane had a great start to the season but faded away in the middle – mainly because Salah took over the lead role. The Senegal star is back on top form but somehow didn't do enough to earn him an upgrade.

Rated at 86 in FIFA 19, could have easily been pushed to 87 but EA chose not to do it. They deemed the current ratings enough for him and that is a huge mistake. There are players who are worse than him, that are rated above him right now.

#2 Raúl Jiménez

Huddersfield Town v Wolverhampton Wanderers - Premier League

Raúl Jiménez has been just amazing for Wolverhampton this season and was very well in contention to get his FIFA 19 ratings upgraded. However, EA shocked the world by not giving him one.

Rated at just 78, Jiménez has shown that he deserves a lot more. He has been brilliant in front of the goal and how he is still rated so low is a mystery.
