FIFA 19 Winter Upgrades: 3 Bayern Munich Players Who Will Get A Downgrade

#2 – Arjen Robben

FC Bayern Muenchen v SL Benfica - UEFA Champions League Group E

Age has finally caught up on Arjen Robben and he is on a rapid decline. The Bayern Munich legend is on his way out of the club at the end of the season as his contract expires in the summer.

The Dutch winger has lost pace and is no longer the threat he used to be. Running down the right wing, cutting in and scoring with a curled shot with his right foot will forever be a memory in every football fans mind. But that is not something he has managed to do often this season.

Rated at 85 in FIFA 19, Robben is now set for a downgrade. His pace stat had already fallen below 80 but now, his shooting stat and dribbling might also take a huge hit. The Dutchman might see his overall rating drop to 84 or 83 when the winter rating refresh happens in February.
