FIFA 20: Predicting The Best XI

Centre-Backs: Virgil Van Dijk and Kalidou Koulibaly

Image result for kalidou koulibaly virgil van dijk

Virgil Van Dijk and Kalidou Koulibaly are currently the joint-6th highest rated centre-backs in the game right now. FIFA 19 started off with Van Dijk at 85 and Koulibaly at 87 but both of them got an upgrade in the FIFA 19 Winter Ratings Refresh and were pushed to 88.

While 88 is a good rating, they still deserve more. Ramos, Godin and Chiellini were the top 3 centre-backs in FIFA 19 but their ratings should be 88 or below in FIFA 20. Meanwhile, Van Dijk and Koulibaly should be pushed to 90 at least.

Left-Back: Jordi Alba

Jordi Alba was the 2nd best left-back in FIFA 19 but with Marcelo not doing so much this season, the Barcelona man can easily be made the highest rated left-back in FIFA 20. Rated at 87 in FIFA 19, Alba can be pushed to 88 while Marcelo can be downgraded from 88 to 87 or even 86.
