While wingers are in demand in world football right now, they have lost their importance in FIFA 19. A lot of players opt to play with 4-2-2-2 or 4-2-3-1 formations that have no requirements for a winger and rely on 4-5 central midfielders in the starting XI.
In the 4-2-2-2 formation, players use 2 defensive midfielders and 2 attacking midfielders to play behind their 2 strikers. Meanwhile, in the 4-2-3-1 formation, they have 2 defensive midfielders and 3 attacking midfielders behind their lone striker.
While many opt for the formations above, thousands of players still use wingers in their team. The likes of Neymar, Mbappe, Hazard etc. go for high prices because they can cut in and score goals as well as put in some fantastic crosses for the striker to head.
Here are the possible top 5 left wingers in FIFA 20:
#5 – Leroy Sane (86)
Leroy sane might not have played a lot last season as Pep Guardiola opted to play with Raheem Sterling on the left-wing. The Englishman did an excellent job, but his base position in FIFA 20 will remain as a right winger itself.
Sane meanwhile was reportedly looking to leave for Bayern Munich this summer but has been convinced to stay. The manager might have assured him more game time, and that is great news for the Cityzens.
The German has been brilliant every time he has come on as a substitute and will only improve next season. Rated at 86 in FIFA 19, Sane is unlikely to get an upgrade. He has been good but hasn't done enough to earn an upgrade.
The winger did finish with a domestic treble in the 2018/19 season, but his contribution was limited because of Sterling playing in his position.
#4 – Philippe Coutinho (86)
Philippe Coutinho's season has a dreadful one for Barcelona. The former Liverpool man has done very little for the Catalan side and was one of the reasons why they failed to make it to the Champions League final in the 2018/19 season.
Rated at 88 in FIFA 19, the Brazilian is set to get a downgrade to 86. The future of Coutinho is still unknown, and there is a good chance of him being involved in the deal for Neymar.
#3 – Sadio Mane (89)
While the majority watching Liverpool heap praise of Mo Salah, Sadio Mane has been the one leading their attack. The Senegal international has been at his best recently and is in line for a massive upgrade.
Rated at 86 in FIFA 19, EA Sports should push him to 89 in FIFA 20. While this won't make him the best left-winger in the game, the rating will justify what he has done on the pitch.
#2 – Neymar (91)
Neymar's future is in the balance right now, and it looks like he might be set for a move back to Barcelona. The Brazilian has been in decent form recently but has not managed to hit his peak at PSG.
Rated as the best left-winger in FIFA 19, he is set to lose that title in FIFA 20. From a rating of 92, Neymar is likely to be pushed to 91.
#1 – Eden Hazard (92)
A stunning season with Chelsea and then a move to Real Madrid. This is more than enough to get an upgrade in EA Sports FIFA, and he is very likely to get one.
Rated at 91 in FIFA 19, he should be pushed to 92 in FIFA 20. While the rating should be depending on which club he plays for, just the fact that he's a Real Madrid player gives him that extra boost to become the best-rated left-winger in the game.
