What a season Liverpool are having! They were expected to be challenging for the title this season but not in the way they have. Many fans expected them to slip up at some point in the season, but they have held on well and are flying high.

With just one loss this season in the Premier League, the Reds have shown the world that they are ready to face any challenges and they will not go down without a fight!

All this has been possible because of the brilliant signings by Jurgen Klopp and the way he has got them to play. Without further ado, here are the 5 Liverpool players who deserve an upgrade in FIFA 20:

#5 – Virgil van Dijk

Without a doubt, Virgil van Dijk has been the one to make the difference for Liverpool this season. His rock solid displays at the back have got them where they are, and it has to be the most significant contribution of a defender to a side since John Terry.

Coincidently, he also became the first ever defender to with the PFA Player of the year award since John Terry. The Dutchman has been so good this season that not a single player has dribbled past him the whole season.

Rated at 85 initially in FIFA 19, EA Sports handed him a good upgrade in the winter ratings refresh. They pushed him to 88 in February, but when the ratings for FIFA 20 come out, he will get another good push.

While a +3 rating increase is not expected again, he will definitely be pushed to 90 in the game. Anything less than that would be a surprise while anything above 90 would also be a step too big right now.

#4 – Sadio Mane

Just like Van Dijk, Mane has proved to be highly reliable this season. While the whole of 2017/18 season was about Salah, this season has been about the man from Senegal – Sadio Mane!

Rated at 86 in FIFA 19, he was surprisingly not given an upgrade in the winter ratings refresh. However, come FIFA 20, and he should be pushed to 88 for his brilliant performances this season.

#3 – Andrew Robertson

Another reason why Liverpool have conceded fewer goals this season is Andrew Robertson. The left-back signed for just £8M from Hull City has proved to be a vital cog at the back and is the easily the best left-back in the league this season.

Initially rated at 81 in FIFA 19, EA Sports pushed him to 83 in the winter ratings refresh. He is expected to get another good push in FIFA 20 and get his ratings up to 85 or 86.

#2 – Trent Alexander-Arnold

What a season the youngster is having. He is easily the best Liverpool academy product since Steven Gerrard, and the youngster has sealed his place in the starting XI.

Rated at just 78 in FIFA 19, he might be the Liverpool player to get the most significant upgrade. He has to be pushed to 82 or 83 at least as he has consistently proved that he is very good.

#1 – Alisson Becker

Alisson was the 3rd Liverpool players to get an upgrade during the winter ratings refresh in February. But now, with his consistent display in the Premier League and the Champions League this season, he is set for another upgrade.

He was pushed from 85 to 87 in FIFA 19 Winter Upgrades but will not be getting another +2 in his FIFA 20 ratings. However, he should be pushed to 88 as he deserves that rating.
