The Winter Refresh is coming soon in FIFA 20. This rewards particularly good players from the first half of the season with attribute upgrades. But which players from the Premier League could be included?
When does the Winter Refresh start? Normally, the Winter Refresh begins after the winter transfers. We expect it to start in the next two weeks.
How do the Winter Upgrades work? Usually, many players’ attributes in FUT are re-evaluated at the beginning of the first half of the season. This means that particularly good players from the first half of the season receive even better cards in FIFA 20 Ultimate Team.
Here are some things to keep in mind:
- The new cards replace the old versions in packs
- The base cards in your club do not change
- Special cards can also receive upgrades
These 10 Premier League players could become even stronger
Who deserves an upgrade? We took a look around and present you with 10 candidates from the Premier League.
Roberto Firmino
Here’s why Firmino could get an upgrade: Many FUT players wondered at the beginning of FIFA 20 why the Brazilian striker didn’t receive an upgrade compared to his FIFA 19 card. A rating of 86 is not bad, but Firmino deserved a slightly stronger card.
And he could certainly get this with the Winter Refresh. The Liverpool striker is having a great season and has developed into a real playmaker. A gold card with an 88 rating would be appropriate.
Andrew Robertson
Here’s why Robertson could get an upgrade: Andrew Robertson has confirmed his strong performances from last season and is currently considered the best left-back in the Premier League.
Therefore, his standard card, which currently has a rating of 85, should receive an upgrade. A jump to 86 is certainly not too much to ask for.
James Maddison
Here’s why Maddison could get an upgrade: James Maddison is a top talent and is showing what he is capable of this year. He directs Leicester City’s play and contributes mainly deadly passes.
However, set pieces are particularly his specialty. Most of his goals are set up through corners and free kicks. He can therefore expect a significant jump of 2-3 points in his overall rating, assuming EA is of the same opinion.
Trent Alexander-Arnold
Here’s why Alexander-Arnold could get an upgrade: One can say similar things about Trent Alexander-Arnold as about Andrew Robertson. He is a fantastic full-back who is very important for Liverpool FC.
What is particularly outstanding are his assists, as the defender has already prepared 10 goals this season. This is more than most midfielders in the Premier League can claim. A Winter upgrade to an 85 card should therefore be possible.
Sergio Aguero
Here’s why Aguero could get an upgrade: It was already unusual that Aguero did not receive a 90 card at the beginning of the FUT season, after all, he did not play poorly last season either.
However, for the Winter Refresh, he may have reclaimed his 90 rating. The striker is having an even stronger season and has already scored 16 goals at this point.
Sadio Mane
Here’s why Mane could get an upgrade: Sadio Mane is currently unstoppable and many opponents fear the fast winger from Liverpool FC. This is also reflected in his special cards in FUT 20, he has already collected 6 of them.
Currently, he can boast 11 goals and 6 assists in 22 games. Therefore, an upgrade to a 90 rating is long overdue.
Wilfred Ndidi
Here’s why Ndidi could get an upgrade: Wilfred Ndidi is having an outstanding season for Leicester City and is providing stability in the defensive midfield.
So far, he has won as many duels (86) as no other midfielder in the Premier League. Additionally, his team has significant difficulties winning when he does not play. So, a stronger gold card with a rating of 83 would be justified.
Jamie Vardy
Here’s why Vardy could get an upgrade: The Englishman leads the scoring list in the Premier League with 17 goals and is securing important victories and headlines with his goals, which has already earned him a Headliners card.
However, it is also high time for an upgrade for his gold card. A rating of 84 or even 85 is something he undoubtedly deserves.
Ricardo Pereira
Here’s why Pereira could get an upgrade: Another player from Leicester City who is having a fantastic season and thus qualifies for a Winter upgrade. This is due to the strong performances of the right-back, who has already received 2 Inform cards this season.
An upgrade to 84 would be conceivable here.
Fikayo Tomori
Here’s why Tomori could get an upgrade: Fikayo Tomori is a true top talent in the center-back position and has prevented many goals for Chelsea with his outstanding performances. He has also been called up to the English national team and is regarded as a defender of the future.
A nice upgrade to a 77 rating would be well-deserved already. After all, his performances in his 14 Premier League games have always been very solid.
