Full-backs are the most sought-after defenders in FIFA 19 Ultimate Team, and the ones who have pace are preferred the most. The cost of full-backs in Ultimate Team has gone up so much that many players have opted to play with 3 defenders – all of them being centre-backs – without any full-backs or wing-backs.
The Premier League is filled with such defenders, and thus, they are always in high demand. Here are the potential top 5 Premier League full-backs in FIFA 20:
#5 – Lucas Digne
The former Barcelona star has been brilliant this season for Everton and has helped them steady the ship after a rough start. The left-back got an upgrade from 78 to 81 in the FIFA 19 winter ratings refresh and is bound to get one in FIFA 20 as well.
While EA Sports might not give him another big upgrade, they should push him to 82 or 83 at least. It won't be a surprise if a few clubs launch bids for him, especially Chelsea who will look to sign a left-back if their transfer ban is removed. Marcos Alonso has not been good enough and Emerson has not done anything special.
#4 – Trent Alexander-Arnold
Trent Alexander-Arnold is rated at 78 in FIFA 19, and he has shown that he deserves a much higher rating. The Liverpool right-back has been so good that EA Sports picked him for the Future Stars promo and gave him a rating of 89.
While he is not expected to get such a high rating in FIFA 20 straight away, he should be pushed to 82 or 83 at least. Jurgen Klopp was so confident with the right-back that he even loaned out Nathaniel Clyne to AFC Bournemouth in the January transfer window.
#3 – Kieran Trippier
Another English full-back who has been decent this season is Kieran Trippier. While he has not done anything extraordinary, he has already been handed a good rating by EA Sports.
The ratings he got in FIFA 19 were mainly based on his previous season and the performance at the World Cup but since then, it has all been downhill for him. However, looking at the other players rated similarly or higher than him, it is likely that EA will give him a boost in his ratings.
Rated at 82 in FIFA 19, he is expected to go up to 83 in FIFA 20. While a lot of FIFA players and Premier League fans would argue that he does not deserve that upgrade, EA will have to do it as they cannot have a lot players rated at 80-82 in the game.
#2 – Andrew Robertson
Without a doubt, Andrew Robertson has been the best left-back in the Premier League this season. The Liverpool star has helped them become one of the best sides in the world and EA Sports should hand him a huge upgrade.
Rated at 83 after the FIFA 19 Winter Upgrades, Andrew Robertson should be pushed to 86 or 87 in FIFA 20.
#1 – Kyle Walker
Kyle Walker was the highest rated full-back in the Premier League in FIFA 19 and he will retain his place in FIFA 20. The Manchester City star has been in good form this season and deserves the top spot.
Rated at 84 in FIFA 19, he is bound to get a good upgrade to 87 in FIFA 20. While he might not get a big upgrade in his main stats apart from defending, his positioning, etc. will get a good boost.
