Wingers are one of the most expensive players in FIFA Ultimate Team, but when it comes to selecting between them and playing strikers as Central Attacking midfielders, players often opt for the latter.

The main reason for this, recently, has been the shooting stats and accuracy of the strikers that is unmatchable. While wingers are essential to deliver crosses and provide that extra support in defence, players often make it up by using incredible defensive midfielders who have high defensive work rate and stamina.

However, with that being said, only 2-3 formations in FIFA do not have the need for wingers. Unless you are using a 4-2-2-2 or a 4-2-3-1, the starting XI needs to have good wingers.

Without further ado, here are the predicted top 5 right wingers in FIFA 20:

#5 – Bernardo Silva (86)

What a season Bernardo Silva has had. Not only did he win the domestic treble with Manchester City, he also finished it off with a stunning display for Portugal in the UEFA Nations League.

The Portuguese star was the difference maker Pep Guardiola's side this season with the absence of Kevin de Bruyne who was injured for the majority of the season. The Belgian was set to be the key player once again, but with him out injured, Bernardo took it on himself to make sure that the Premier League title remained with the Cityzens.

Rated at 84 in FIFA 19, it was a surprise that he did not get an upgrade during the FIFA 19 Winter Upgrades. The winger was so good that Guardiola had to use Sterling as a left-winger and leave Leroy Sane on the bench.

In FIFA 20, EA Sports should give Bernardo a good upgrade and push him to 86 at least. The Portuguese deserves it, and anything less would be considered a bad rating.

#4 – Gareth Bale (86)

Gareth Bale's time at Real Madrid is up, but he is reluctant to leave the club. The Welshman has reportedly informed the club that he is not willing to go unless they pay him whatever he is supposed to get for the next 3 years.

Rated as the join best right-winger at 88 in FIFA 19, it won't be a surprise when he gets a downgrade in FIFA 20. While a huge downgrade is what he deserves, EA Sports might leave him at 86.

#3 – Raheem Sterling (89)

Raheem Sterling, along with Bernardo Silva, took Manchester City's game to another level. The Englishman was in scintillating form this year and won the YPOTY.

Rated at 85 initially in FIFA 19, he was pushed to 87 in the winter upgrades. Come FIFA 20, and he is in line to get another one. His rating should be boosted to 89 to justify what he has done on the pitch.

#2 – Mo Salah (89)

In FIFA 19, Mohamed Salah was rated as the joint-best right-winger alongside Gareth Bale. In February, after the FIFA 19 Winter Upgrades, Kylian Mbappe also joined them on the top of the tree.

However, in FIFA 20, Salal is unlikely to be the top-rated right-winger. His performances have been brilliant and helped Liverpool win the Champions League, but it's that Kylian Mbappe was a bit better and is set to become the best right-back in the game.

Salah is still set to get an upgrade, and he will move from 88 to 89.

#1 – Kylian Mbappe (90)

Kylian Mbappe is on course to become the best player in the world in a few years, and he is slowly taking steps to reach the top. From being a highly rated teenager at AS Monaco to becoming the 2nd costliest player ever, Mbappe has shown the world what he is capable of.

Rated at 87 initially in FIFA 19, he was upgraded to 88. Now in FIFA 20, he's set for another boost and is expected to reach 90 – at the age of 20!
