PSG are having the most PSG-like season ever. They are dominating the Ligue 1 but crashed out of the Champions League from a winning position. The French champions are just unable to catch a break in the European competition and no change in player or manager is helping them.
PSG are currently 20 points ahead of 2nd placed Lille in the French league and in the semi-finals of Coupe de France where they face FC Nantes. Thomas Tuchel's men have played brilliantly this season and it has been a collective effort.
While the world only talks about Neymar, Mbappe and Cavani, it's not just them who have made things possible for the French side. There are a lot of other players as well who have exceeded expectations but gone unnoticed because of the ruthlessness of the front three.
Here are 3 PSG players who deserved an upgrade in FIFA 19 Winter Upgrades but didn't get it:
#3 – Angel di Maria
Angel di Maria's rating in FIFA 19 is really low. The Argentine might not be the best in the world - he is nowhere close to it - but a rating of 84 is just not good enough.
The winger has been playing in multiple positions on the pitch for PSG and has been a vital figure for them this season. However, for some reason, EA Sports have not given him the rating upgrade he deserves.
While a huge boost wasn't expected, EA could have moved him to 86 at least. When players like Matic, Ozil etc have such high ratings, it's not correct to have a hardworking and vital player like Di Maria rated lower than them.
Will he get the push in FIFA 20? Only time will tell.
#2 – Marco Verratti
What Marco Verratti does on the pitch, not many around the world can replicate it. The Italian is so good on the ball that he can dominate the flow of the game without breaking a sweat.
This season, he has been a vital cog in PSG's system but somehow, he never seems to be in the limelight. The midfielder can walk into any club's starting XI in the world but he has settled in at PSG and doesn't seem to be interested in leaving.
Much like the fans who only talk about Mbappe, Neymar and Cavani running the show for PSG, EA Sports have also not paid heed to Verratti's contributions. Rated at 86, he should have been given an upgrade but somehow, was ignored completely. He does have 3 special cards rated at 87, and that ideally should have been made his base card.
#1 – Presnel Kimpembe
Presnel Kimpembe might be the worst among the centre-back trio at PSG but that does not mean he has been bad. Marquinhos got an upgrade from 84 to 85 while Thiago Silva is already rated at 88 and didn't need to be upgraded.
Kimpembe, meanwhile, is rated at just 83 and should have got upgraded to 84, at least. The Frenchman has been brilliant whenever he has been on the pitch and is the proper heir to Thiago Silva.
EA Sports, however, opted to give Kylian Mbappe and Marquinhos upgrades and ignored all the others. How players like Kimpembe, Di Maria and Verratti went under the radar will be unknown but if they do not get an upgrade when FIFA 20 is out, this might just be a conspiracy.
