Coming soon, FIFA 21 will be released and the new player ratings are highly anticipated. MeinMMO has looked at 9 stars who could receive downgrades in the new FIFA installment.
The new ratings in FIFA 21: As in every year, EA Sports adjusts the player ratings for the new FIFA installment. The values are determined based on the performances of the past season. Some players will get stronger, while others will get weaker.
In addition to the best cards in the game, it is particularly exciting how the big stars are rated, who did not convince in the past season.
We will tell you which well-known stars could receive downgrades in FIFA 21.
Eden Hazard
That’s why Hazard’s rating could drop: The top transfer from Real Madrid, who switched from Chelsea FC for 115 million euros, had a mixed season and could not meet the high expectations. Although injuries have held him back, a downgrade due to his mediocre performances seems inevitable.
Especially since the winger only managed one goal and 7 assists in 22 games for Real Madrid last season.
How strong Hazard could be in FIFA 21: We realistically estimate a downgrade to still strong 88 points in the overall rating. That way, the cover star of FIFA 20 would still have a strong card.
Antoine Griezmann
That’s why Griezmann’s rating could drop: Similar to Hazard, Antoine Griezmann was a top transfer last summer. Barcelona paid 120 million euros to Atletico Madrid. However, the Frenchman has not been able to truly convince at the Catalans so far.
In 48 games, he managed 15 goals and 4 assists. Too little to justify a 89 rating.
How strong Griezmann could be in FIFA 21: Since Griezmann’s performances were not completely catastrophic and he was able to play quite a lot, a downgrade to 87 seems plausible.
Giorgio Chiellini
That’s why Chiellini’s rating could drop: The Italian top defender from Juventus Turin started the FUT-20 season with a strong 89 card. However, there were no further improved cards throughout the season.
This is probably because the now 36-year-old defender has been plagued by injuries and could only play 4 matches in Serie A. A downgrade seems unavoidable.
How strong Chiellini could be in FIFA 21: Giorgio Chiellini could still receive a strong defender card in FIFA 21. An overall rating of 86 or maybe 87 seems appropriate, as he did not deliver poor performances.
Marco Reus
That’s why Reus’s rating could drop: In the past season, Marco Reus could not connect to the top performances of the previous season, which was probably also due to injuries. Nevertheless, he achieved 17 points in 26 games. The downgrade should not be too severe.
One should also keep in mind that Reus is now 31 years old, which EA often rewards with a downgrade rather than an upgrade.
How strong Reus could be in FIFA 21: Despite Marco Reus’s somewhat disappointing season, the performances of the Dortmund player were at least stable and should not justify too severe a downgrade. A new overall rating of 86 would fit.
Gareth Bale
That’s why Bale’s rating could drop: Already in FIFA 20, Bale received a significant downgrade from 88 to 85. And as the Welshman is now even less enthusiastic about football and is also not considered by coach Zinedine Zidane, he will hardly be able to maintain his strong rating of 85.
How strong Bale could be in FIFA 21: Gareth Bale is facing a significant downgrade in the new FIFA installment. We are talking about a downgrade to potentially 82 points in the overall rating.
Paul Pogba
That’s why Pogba’s rating could drop: Pogba is one of the best midfielders in the world. However, unfortunately, the Frenchman cannot always deliver top performances. One goal and 4 assists in 22 games speak a clear language. He will hardly avoid a downgrade.
How strong Pogba could be in FIFA 21: Despite his poor performance last season, Pogba can still play at world-class level, so we suspect a moderate downgrade from 88 to 86 points in the overall rating.
Luka Modric
That’s why Modric’s rating could drop: If you look at Modric’s statistics from last season, you’ll quickly realize that another 90 rating in FIFA 21 is quite unrealistic.
In total, the 34-year-old scored 5 goals and provided 8 assists in 40 games. A bit disappointing for the 2018 Ballon d’Or winner.
How strong Modric could be in FIFA 21: A new rating of 87 would suit the Croat well and still mean a strong card for the midfield.
Diego Godin
That’s why Godin’s rating could drop: Diego Godin had a tough time in his first season at Inter Milan. Although he did not play poorly, the competition in his position was just too great.
And without a starting position, a continued strong rating of 88 is at risk.
How strong Godin could be in FIFA 21: Perhaps Godin can establish himself despite strong competition at Inter Milan and secure a starting position. However, he will probably not receive a rating of 88. A value between 84 and 85 seems more realistic.
Hugo Lloris
That’s why Lloris’s rating could drop: In recent years, Hugo Lloris has always been among the top goalkeepers in FIFA. However, after Tottenham’s disappointing season last year, the keeper is threatened with a downgrade.
Although he was injured for a large part of the season, he still managed to concede 37 goals in 27 games. Which is not a rate of a top goalkeeper and therefore will likely be penalized with a downgrade.
How strong Lloris could be in FIFA 21: A new overall rating of 85 is quite conceivable due to the weak performances.
What do you think about the possible downgrades? Did we forget top players who deserve a downgrade? And which players deserve an upgrade? Here we have 5 top talents that must be upgraded in FIFA 21.
