Barcelona are enjoying a great so far and there is no stopping them. The Catalan side are running away with the league title and have made it to the Champions League quarter-finals too.
The current LaLiga champions have Lionel Messi to thank the most for his performances this season, and also a few other players. Despite everyone's contributions, EA Sports has acknowledged only 2 Barcelona players – Sergio Busquets and Ousmane Dembele - and handed them upgrades.
Here are 3 Barcelona players who also deserved an upgrade but didn't get it:
#3 – Jordi Alba
Jordi Alba has had a great season so far and has been vital in the attack and defence for Barcelona. The Spaniard has scored just once but has 7 assists to his name in LaLiga this season with another goal and 3 assists in the UEFA Champions League.
The left-back has a rating of 87 in FIFA 19 and could have been easily pushed to 88 or even 89 based on his performances. His other cards in FIFA 19, Champions League rare card and Road To The Final card are rated at 88 and that should have been made his base card.
Moreover, he surprisingly never made it to the Team of the Week until this Wednesday. The Spaniard finally made it to the team with an 89-rated card based on his performance for Spain during the International Break.
EA Sports have made some weird decisions this year and not giving an upgrade to Jordi Alba is one of them. The left-back has been one of the best in the world this season and when players like Dani Carvajal are getting upgrades, it was a huge mistake not to give one to Alba.

#2 – Sergi Roberto
Sergi Roberto has always been the player who has never received the limelight he truly deserves. Apart from that one goal vs Paris Saint-Germain, nobody really notices his contribution on the pitch for Barcelona.
The Spaniard is a highly versatile player who can play in any position he is asked to. He has played as a midfielder and a right-back in recent seasons and can even be an attacking option too – the PSG game is the best example once again.
This season, he has been decent for Barcelona once again but nobody seems to be talking about how good he has been. Rated at 84 in FIFA 19, EA Sports should have given him an upgrade in the FIFA 19 Winter Upgrades.
A push to 85 at least would have justified his performances on the pitch.
#1 – Clément Lenglet
When Barcelona signed Clément Lenglet, not many expected him to be a starter this season. He was signed as an understudy to Pique and Samuel Umtiti but got the chance to shine after an injury to the latter.
Lenglet took the opportunity with both hands and has been the standout performer in defence. He has exceeded all expectations meaning Barcelona are ready to let go of Umtiti if he wants to leave.
Rated at just 82 in the game, EA Sports had a great chance to increase his ratings in the FIFA 19 Winter Upgrades. However, they chose not to, leaving him at the low rating for another 9 months.
With Matthijs de Ligt also rumoured to be joining Barcelona in the summer, a defensive pairing of the Dutchman and the Frenchman would be a dream to watch at Camp Nou.
