Barcelona v Liverpool - UEFA Champions League Semi Final: First Leg

#3 – Arturo Vidal

Arturo Vidal was rated at 85 in FIFA 19 and a downgrade is on the cards for the Chile star. He has been in decent form but nothing on the pitch suggests that he should have a rating of 85 in FIFA 20.

EA Sports are sure to hand him a downgrade in the next edition and push him to 83 at least.

#2 – Ivan Rakitic

Ivan Rakitic was signed with a lot of promise after Cesc Fabregas failed to live up to the Barcelona fans' expectations. He delivered at first but has now become a shadow of himself and the fans want him replaced too.

Rated at 87 in FIFA 19, the Croat is set for a downgrade. While he does not deserve to be rated anything more than 84, there is a good chance that EA Sports keep him at 85 at least and not hand him a huge downgrade.
