In the three FIFA 19 articles I have written so far, David Brooks has featured in all of them. The midfielder doesn't get the credit he deserves and it was surprising to see him still stuck with a silver card in FIFA 19.

He is bound to get an upgrade to gold in the winter but it will be interesting to see how much of a push EA give him. The youngster has been in top form for Bournemouth and the driving force for their incredible run this season.
Rated at just 69, Brooks is sure to get at least 6+ rating boost in the winter. My prediction is that he will get pushed to at least 77-79 but again, EA have the final call. Ideally, EA should get him up to 77 this winter and then see how he does for the rest of the season and then boost him to 79 or more.
