Chelsea have had a weird season so far and things are just confusing at the club. The Blues have made it to the Europa League semi-final, finished runners-up in the Carabao Cup and are fighting for a top 4 finish in the league.

However, the fans are still not happy as Maurizio Sarri's tactics have left them frustrated. The Chelsea faithful, a good chunk of them, want the manager sacked as soon as possible but with a transfer ban still in place for the summer and January, the club might not take that risk.

Despite having an average season overall, Chelsea are in a decent position thanks to a handful of players. Eden Hazard has been leading the charge for them but will not be in this list as he might be a Real Madrid player by the time FIFA 20 releases.

Here are 5 Chelsea players who deserve an upgrade:

#5 – Callum Hudson-Odoi

Rated at just 68 in FIFA 19, Callum Hudson-Odoi will be the Chelsea player to get the best upgrade in FIFA 20. The youngster deserved an upgrade in the winter refresh itself but surprisingly was ignored.

Hudson-Odoi should be moved from a non-rare silver card to a rare-gold card rated at 78 at least. Sancho was moved from 72 to 78 in the winter upgrades and is bound to be pushed to 80+ in FIFA 20.

Similarly, EA Sports should hand Hudson-Odoi an upgrade despite the fact that he might not be playing the majority of next season. He has undergone a surgery on a ruptured Achilles and is set to be out for a long time. The winger suffered an injury during Chelsea's 2-2 draw vs Burnley in the Premier League at Stamford Bridge.

#4 – Ruben Loftus-Cheek

Another Chelsea youngster who has sealed his place in the starting XI this season is Ruben Loftus-Cheek. The Englishman has proved to Maurizio Sarri that he can be the one to dominate the midfield and be the 3rd midfielder in his formation.

Playing on the left side of the midfield, RLC has shown that he can help at both ends of the field. Rated at just 77, he should be pushed to 82 and given a rare-gold card.

#3 – Emerson

Marcos Alonso's time as Chelsea's #1 left-back is over and Emerson has taken his place. The Italian has been consistent this season and has become a fan favourite at Stamford Bridge too.

Rated at just 76 in the game, the former AS Roma full-back deserves a push to 79 or 80 at least in FIFA 20.

#2 – Kepa Arrizabalaga

Kepa Arrizabalaga has fared pretty well in his first season in the Premier League. The Spaniard has not made a single error leading to a goal this season and has 13 clean sheets!

He was given an upgrade from 83 to 84 in the FIFA 19 Winter Upgrades but that is just not enough. He has shown that he deserves a better rating and should be pushed to 86 in FIFA 20.

#1 – Antonio Rudiger

Antonio Rudiger is easily Chelsea's most consistent defender. The German is rock solid at the back and has helped the side in keeping a lot of clean sheets.

He was surprisingly given a downgrade in FIFA 19 with his rating dropping to 81 from 82 in FIFA 18. EA Sports should give him an upgrade in FIFA 20 and push him to 83 or 84 at least.
