FIFA 19 Winter Upgrades: 3 Premier League Forwards Who Will Get An Upgrade

#2 – Raul Jimenez

Wolverhampton Wanderers v Burnley FC - Premier League

When people think of Mexicans in the Premier League, it's always Javier 'Chicharito' Hernandez that comes to mind. And why not? The former Manchester United and current West Ham United striker is a real 'fox in the box' and has been a nightmare of the defenders in the league.

However, there is a new Mexican in the league and he is taking it by storm. Raul Jimenez, just like Chicharito, has been scoring for fun in the league and has proved to be way more than just a striker who lingers in the box.

Rated at just 78 in FIFA 19, Jimenez has proved that he deserves an upgrade in February. EA should push him to 80 for sure, but given the number of players already in the 80+ category, they might only push the Wolves striker to 79 with a move from non-rate to rare.
