FIFA 20: Top 5 strikers who deserve an upgrade

Signing a top striker is what most people do first when they are building a FIFA Ultimate Team. It is not a surprise because the basic rule in Football is 'most goals win'.

While a lot of players are very good on the pitch, not all of them have good ratings in FIFA. Here are 5 strikers who should get an upgrade when FIFA 20 comes out:

#5 – Luka Jovic

If there is one striker every club wished they had right now, it would be Luka Jovic. The Serbian is just 21-years-old but has already been tipped to become the best striker in the world in no time.

He was on loan at Eintracht Frankfurt last season from Benfica and nobody had a clue about his talent at the start, so much so that the Portuguese side gave Eintracht an option to sign him permanently for just around €7 million.

Once the season started, everyone started to take notice and he was the talk of the scouts, pundits and fans. Everyone wanted to see what he was and how he is scoring so freely.

He ended the season in fine fashion with the German side who activated the option to buy him permanently. However, he has been sold to Real Madrid straightaway for a reported fee of €60 million.

Jovic was rated at just 75 at the start of FIFA 19 – the bare minimum rating needed for a gold card. His pace, shooting and dribbling stats were in the 70's while his physical and passing stats were in the 60's.

EA Sports rightfully upgraded his rating in the FIFA 19 Winter Refresh but only got him up to 80. While his pace and dribbling were definitely upgraded, it still remained in the 70's while his physical stat was also pushed to the same.

His shooting was boosted to 80 but that is still not enough. In FIFA 20, EA Sports have to push Jovic up to 84 at least with his pace and dribbling at 82 or 83 while his shooting should be 85 or 86.

#4 – Roberto Firmino

When people talk about Liverpool's attack, it is mostly about Mo Salah. The next in mind will be Sadio Mane and only at the end, people talk about Roberto Firmino. The Brazilian is underrated and that is the same case in FIFA too.

Rated at 86 in FIFA 19, Firmino should be given an upgrade in FIFA 20. He should be rated 88 at least as he has been that good.

#3 – Jamie Vardy

Jamie Vardy might not be able to replicate his form from that incredible title-winning season but he is still one of the best poachers in the league. His pace helps him get past defenders and his shooting is still too good.

Rated at just 82, Vardy should be pushed to 84 in FIFA 20 as he has been doing well under new manager, Brendan Rodgers.

#2 – Memphis Depay

From being a flop at Manchester United to becoming the star at Lyon, Memphis Depay has come a long way. The Dutchman is enjoying his football once again and is one of the best in the league.

Rated at 83 initially in FIFA 19, he was pushed to 84 in the winter upgrades. He has been doing well consistently and should be pushed to 85 in FIFA 20.

#1 – Sergio Aguero

When Pep Guardiola arrived, it looked like Sergio Aguero was set to be phased out of the club. Gabriel Jesus' arrival all but sealed the Argentine's fate but he fought back and has now made the starting spot his own.

Rated at 89 in FIFA 19, Aguero has done enough to get an upgrade. He won't be the best striker in the game as Messi and Ronaldo are in the same category but should be made the 3rd best along with Luis Suarez at 90.
