Premier League is filled with top players in the world, and they are all expected to be on top of their game all the time. However, not all players manage to do that every season and some of them have been way below par this season.
Here are 5 Premier League players who have not stepped this season and will get a downgrade in FIFA 20:
#5 David De Gea
For years now, David De Gea has been touted as the best goalkeeper in the world. But this season, he has been making so many errors that he is not even the best goalkeeper in the Premier League.
Moreover, he isn't even the best goalkeeper in Manchester, nor is he the best Spanish goalkeeper in the Premier League. The fall of De Gea has been really bad, and the Spaniard needs to take a break from the game for a couple of months.
The former Atletico Madrid star has another issue on his head, and that is related to his contract. Reports suggest that he is holding out for a big money deal but with his recent performances, Manchester United's board might be thinking that it is time for a change.
Rated at 91 in FIFA 19, there is no way EA Sports can afford to keep him at that high rating in FIFA 20. He will get a significant downgrade this summer and should ideally be pushed to 86 or 87 – anything more than that would be a bonus.
His handling has to be the one stat to get the most significant downgrade as he has spilt a lot of shots at him and they have resulted in crucial goals. It was already his weakest stat 85 and should be pushed down to 79.
#3 – Mesut Özil
Mesut Ozil has had a decent season but not the one that can help Arsenal finish on a high. The German has been in and out of the starting XI under Unai Emery a, d reports suggest that he might be sold in the summer.
Rated at 86, the former Real Madrid star has not lived up to the expectations. He has been nowhere close to what EA have touted him to be and need to be pushed to 84 or even 83 in FIFA 20.
#4 – Alexis Sanchez
It is around this time last year that Manchester United fans started to realise that signing Sanchez was a big mistake. The Chile star has not been able to do anything significant at United ever since he joined from Arsenal and is set to be sold soon.
Rated at 87, he too has not shown the world why he has such a high rating. EA Sports need to take a big decision, and it should be making Sanchez an 83 rated player in FIFA 20.
#2 – Gonzalo Higuain
Gonzalo Higuain has had a season to forget. First, he was told to leave Juventus as they were getting Ronaldo, and then the loan moves have been big-time flops. He has not been able to score freely at Milan or Chelsea, and both sets of fans do not want him anywhere close to the club.
Rated at 89 in FIFA 19, Higuain has to be given a massive downgrade in FIFA 20. Anything from 82 - 85 is justifiable but nothing above that.
#1 – Adam Lallana
One of the rare Southampton signings at Liverpool who have flopped recently. Adam Lallana is not a player with big ratings in FIFA 19, but he has not been able to justify that too!
Rated at 81 in the game, the Englishman has done very little whenever he has been given a chance. EA Sports should downgrade his ratings yet again and push him down to 76.
