Wingers are the most underrated players in FIFA 19. Several gamers prefer to play with no winger and prefer to have more attacking midfielders in their team. The main reason for this is the number of wingers, who really stand out, is really low.

As for the highly rated wingers, not many have done anything this season to get an upgrade. Several wingers are set to get a downgrade and here are three Premier League wingers who will be on that list:

#3 – Alexis Sanchez

When Manchester United swapped Alexis Sanchez for Henrikh Mkhitaryan, many thought it was a steal. There were claims that it was a day-light robbery and Arsenal were going to regret it.

However, things have not gone that way and Arsenal have come off the winners from that swap-deal. Sanchez has not performed well at all at United and has only made an impact in a handful of games.

One such performance did come against his former side, Arsenal, earlier this month, but that was about it. He has been a benchwarmer for a long time and looking at the way the current XI is playing under Ole Gunnar Solskjær, the former Barcelona star might not make it to the first team at all.

Despite his poor form in 2018, EA gave him a rating of 87! The winger was indeed very good during his days at Arsenal but 6 months of below-par performances should have not got him such a high rating.

The poor form continued and now, EA are set to give him a downgrade. The Chilean might be set for a push down to 85 with Raheem Sterling taking his rating of 87 in the game. The Manchester City man is currently at 85 and is bound to get an upgrade.

#2 – Pedro

How on earth is Pedro ranked higher than Marcus Rashford in FIFA 19? The Englishman was tremendous for United and then performed exceedingly well at the World Cup too for England.

The Chelsea winger, however, has been out of form and way below par for a long time now. Pedro has done very little to earn an 82-rated card in the game but somehow, EA decided to give him that.

With the winter rating refresh, things might change. Rashford is in contention to get an upgrade while Pedro might be on the other side of the list. While the Spaniard's push might not be a big one, he is sure to get a downgrade.

Looking at the way EA have given him a downgrade, in recent years, he might be pushed to 81 or 80 at the end of February.

#1 – Juan Mata

The first winger on the list was from Manchester United and the second was from Chelsea. The third one, Juan Mata, has a connection with both the aforementioned clubs.

The Spaniard is yet another winger who has been rated higher than Marcus Rashford in the game and is on par with Anthony Martial. Mata has not been in good form for a long time now and is reportedly set to leave Manchester United when his contract expires at the end of this season.

EA should give him a downgrade this winter refresh and only a push down of over 2 would be justifiable. The former Valencia star has lost pace and is not the pass-master he used to be before his move to Old Trafford.
