Before this season, not many knew Nicolas Pépé. He was a target for a few mid-table Premier League and LaLiga clubs but that was it. However, his performances this season have been so good that several top European sides are looking to sign him.

Rated at just 75, Pepe's consistent display in Ligue 1 has shown that the ratings are so wrong. He has 2 TOTW cards as well – rated 81 and 84 – this season so far and EA really need to push his base card rating close to that.
One player who will definitely be moving from the silver base card to gold will be Jadon Sancho. The young English winger has been on fire in Bundesliga this season and is one of the main reasons why BVB are on top of the table.
Sancho currently has a 72 rated card with one TOTW card and a POTM card. While the TOTW is 79-rated, POTM stands at 84. EA are surely not going to give him such a big upgrade but 79 looks like an ideal rating for him.
