Chelsea are in a decent position on the table right now and are still fighting for a top-4 finish. They have finished as the runners-up in the Carabao Cup, are fighting for a place in the top 4 in the Premier League and are in the semi-finals of the Europa league.
However, it has just not been a group effort. The team is doing well only because of a select few individuals and others have just not managed to do anything special. The players who have done well deserve an upgrade but the ones who have flopped are bound to get a downgrade.
Here are 5 Chelsea players who should get a downgrade:
#5 – David Luiz
The Brazilian has been bang average this season. He has been selected ahead of Andreas Christensen by Maurizio Sarri just for his ability to play the long balls and nothing else. Defensively, he has been making too many mistakes and it has cost Chelsea big time.
Rated at 83 in FIFA 19, Luiz has done nothing to justify the rating. He has to be given a downgrade and pushed to 81. His defensive partner, Antonio Rudiger has been the exact opposite of him and managed to save Chelsea multiple times.
Despite having Luiz in front of him, Kepa Arrizabalaga has kept 13 clean sheets in the debut season in the Premier League. That shows how much potential he has and EA Sports should reward him and Rudiger with good upgrades.
As for Luiz, he should not only be benched by Chelsea next season, he should not been in the rare-gold card category in FIFA 20. The Brazilian should be pushed for 81 or below in the next game, with his defending stats getting a massive hit.
#4 – Cesar Azpilicueta
Gone are the days when Cesar Azpilicueta was Mr Reliable. Now, he has been highly inconsistent and is making way too many errors in the backline. The Spaniard is the club captain but that doesn't mean he shouldn't be given a downgrade.
Rated at 86, there is no way he will be able to keep that high rating in FIFA 20. He will be pushed to 84 at least by EA Sports as his performances this season have been below average.
#3 – Willian
Willian is a player most of the Chelsea fans want sold in the summer but given that Callum Hudson-Odoi is out for the majority of the next season, that will not be the case. The Brazilian has his contract expiring in 2020, just like Eden Hazard, and is likely to be offered a new deal in the summer.
Rated at 84 in FIFA 19, Willian should be pushed to 82 or below in FIFA 20.
#2 – Pedro
Just like Willian, Pedro too has his contract expiring at the end of next season. However, he might not be handed a new contract as Chelsea would want to get a fresh face in the squad next season onwards.
Rated at 82 in the game, the former Barcelona star has done little to justify that rating. He should be pushed to 79 and his card should become a non-rare one too.
#1 – Marcos Alonso
Another player Chelsea fans want sold in the summer at any cost is Marcos Alonso. The Spaniard had a great season under Antonio Conte in 2016/17 but since then, he has been making way too many mistakes.
The full-back is rated at 82 and just like Pedro, he too has not justified his rating. However, he wont be given a massive downgrade like the former Barcelona man and should be rated at 80 or 81 in FIFA 20.
