FIFA 19 Winter Upgrades: 5 Biggest Possible Winter Upgrades in the Game

We are just over a month away from the winter upgrades and today, we take a look at the biggest possible upgrades. So many players have taken the pitch by storm and left the fans mesmerized.

However, this has forced EA to take a look at the ratings they have given these players as they are really low compared to what their performances on the pitch indicate. Without further ado, here are the top 5 players who should get the biggest upgrades:

For the latest FIFA 19 Winter Upgrades, stick to Sportskeeda.

#5 David Brooks (69 to 74)

AFC Bournemouth v Brighton & Hove Albion - Premier League

David Brooks is the most underrated signing of the season in the Premier League. Everyone is talking about how good Jorginho, Alisson etc have been but it's this youngster who has actually impressed the most.

Even at Bournemouth, people talk about Callum Wilson, Ryan Fraser and Joshua King. But on the pitch, Brooks has been the best player as he is the one who has been building all the attacks.

Rated just 69 in FIFA 19, Brooks deserves a huge upgrade. He can easily be rated as high as 77 for the time being and then may be pushed to 79 in FIFA 20. However, it will be interesting to see if EA actually push him from his Silver card to Gold in the winter upgrade.

Realistically, they might push him to 74 – the highest rating for a silver card player.

#4 Paco Alcacer (79 to 84)

Borussia Dortmund v SV Werder Bremen - Bundesliga

The shackles are off and Paco Alcacer is back doing what he does best – scoring goals. The Spaniard was on fire during his Valencia days but the move to Barcelona just didn't work out for him and the club.

Now at Borussia Dortmund, Alcacer's form makes his 79 rated FUT card look really bad. He has an 84-rated FUT Swap card and EA needs to make that his base card, at least.

His current base card of 79 has shooting at 78 and dribbling at 75 while they stand at 84 and 81 respectively in his FUT Swap card. That seems more ideal for him right now and the winter upgrade should get him there.

#3 Nicolas Pépé (75 to 82)

The next big thing?

Before this season, not many knew Nicolas Pépé. He was a target for a few mid-table Premier League and LaLiga clubs but that was it. However, his performances this season have been so good that several top European sides are looking to sign him.

Rated at just 75, Pepe's consistent display in Ligue 1 has shown that the ratings are so wrong. He has 2 TOTW cards as well – rated 81 and 84 – this season so far and EA really need to push his base card rating close to that.

#2 Jadon Sancho (72 to 79)

England Training Session

One player who will definitely be moving from the silver base card to gold will be Jadon Sancho. The young English winger has been on fire in Bundesliga this season and is one of the main reasons why BVB are on top of the table.

Sancho currently has a 72 rated card with one TOTW card and a POTM card. While the TOTW is 79-rated, POTM stands at 84. EA are surely not going to give him such a big upgrade but 79 looks like an ideal rating for him.

#1 Krzysztof Piątek

The next Robert Lewandowski

Dubbed as the next Robert Lewandowski, Krzysztof Piątek is living up to the hype. He has been scoring for fun in Serie A and is currently leading the race for the Golden Boot – outscoring Cristiano Ronaldo in the process.

His FIFA 19 card currently stands at 70 and it clearly needs to be given a huge boost in the winter upgrade. His shooting is as low as 68 right now and boosting it up to 80-83 would not be unrealistic.

He has shown the quality and deserves the upgrade. His overall should be going up to 79 at least given that he is showing all that he can do this season. Surprisingly, despite being the top scorer in Serie A, he does not have a TOTW card or any other special card.
