FIFA 20: Predicting the top 5 midfielders

#4 – Sergio Busquets (89)

Barcelona v Real Sociedad - Copa del Rey

Sergio Busquets has not been at his best this season but somehow got an upgrade in FIFA 19 Winter Upgrades. The Spaniard was instrumental in Barcelona winning La Liga but was one of the reasons why they lost at Anfield.

Rated at 89 in FIFA 19 after the winter upgrades, Busquets is expected to retain that rating in FIFA 20 as well. There is zero chance of EA Sports handing him a downgrade 6 months after giving him an upgrade.

#3 – Kevin De Bruyne (90)

Kevin De Bruyne's season has not gone the way he would have wanted it to. The Belgian was in top form in 2017/18 but was affected by injuries this season. Rated as the best midfielder in FIFA 19 along with Luka Modric, he might not be able to keep that crown in FIFA 20.

While a huge downgrade isn't expected, De Bruyne is likely to be pushed to 90 in FIFA 20.
