FIFA 19 Winter Upgrades: 5 Premier League players who deserve an upgrade but won't get it

#3 – Paul Pogba

Manchester United v Burnley FC - Premier League

Paul Pogba is rated at 88 in FIFA 19 but going by his recent performances, many players will argue that he deserves to be on par with Kevin de Bruyne at 91. However, there is no way EA will hand him such a huge boost, maybe not even in FIFA 20.

His first half of the season was dull and that might just be the reason why he wouldn't get an upgrade. Come FIFA 20, he might be pushed to 89 or even 90, but he still won't be the top rated Premier League midfielder in the game.

#2 – Sadio Mane

Sadio Mane started off the season brilliantly but faded away in the middle. He is back in top form but that might just not be enough to earn him an upgrade. He would have easily been one of the first to get an upgrade had he performed consistently.

Rated at 86 in FIFA 19, Mane is likely to remain at the same rating for now. Come FIFA 20, he might get a push to 87 and nothing higher as he has not done anything so far to earn a massive upgrade.
