FIFA 19 Winter Upgrades: 3 Arsenal Players Who Will Get An Upgrade

The new era at Arsenal has begun and it is off to a better start than anybody could have expected. The players have adapted to Unai Emery's style very quickly and have played some lovely football.

However, there is a long way to go before they can challenge for the title or win a trophy. They have taken the tiny steps and it is down to some of their best players. Today, we take a look at the three Arsenal players who are bound to get an upgrade in the winter rating refresh:

#3 – Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang

Signed for a club record fee in January by Arsene Wenger, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has been the perfect gift the former manager left behind for Unai Emery. The striker has been able to adapt to the new brand of football very quickly and is proving to be a real team player.

Aubameyang has played as a left-winger, a sole striker and also a left forward in matches so far this season. He has impressed in all his roles and is their top scorer this season – joint highest in the Premier League with Harry Kane.

Adding to his goals, the former Borussia Dortmund star has 3 assists to his name. He was voted as the player of the month for October, beating off stiff competition from Anthony Martial, Callum Wilson, Fernandinho, Mathew Ryan and Ross Barkley.

Rated at 87 in FIFA 19, Aubameyang is one of the best strikers in the game. His pace of 94 makes him one of the fastest as well, and that is also one of the main reasons why players love having him in their ultimate team.

The Arsenal striker had three Ultimate Team cards, apart from his base card, in the game. One Road to the Final card rated at 87, one Team of the Week card at 88 and the Player of the Month card at 89.

With the rating refresh happening early next month, Aubameyang is in contention to get an upgrade. He is likely to be given a boost of +1 to take his overall to 88.

#2 – Lucas Torreira

Lucas Torreira was being compared to N'Golo Kante by a lot of Arsenal fans before he joined the club and his performances have proved just why. The Uruguayan has been one of the best midfielders in the league this season and is causing havoc.

His interceptions and passes have been brilliant and opponents are finding it hard to get past him. His pace is giving him a boost as well and he has shown that he isn't too bad at shooting. His goals against Tottenham and Huddersfield prove that he can be a threat going forward as well.

All this has forced EA to reconsider the rating of 78 they gave him and it would be interesting to see what his new rating will be. He got a FUTMAS card in Ultimate Team rated at 82, so his new rating will be 80 or 81 – with his card moving from non-rare gold to rare gold.

#1 – Mattéo Guendouzi

Was there any doubt? Mattéo Guendouzi will easily be the Arsenal player to get the biggest rating upgrade when the winter refresh happens in February.

The French youngster has shown that he can be one of the best midfielders in the world and play at the top level already. The 19-year-old has been playing alongside Granit Xhaka or Lucas Torreira this season and has been outshining the two in almost every game.

Rated at just 67 in FIFA 19, Guendouzi is set to get a massive upgrade. It is highly likely that the competition will be between him and Jadon Sancho for who gets the biggest upgrade in Europe' top 5 leagues.

Sancho is expected to get around +8 boost in his rating and if Guendouzi also gets that, he too will move from a silver card to a gold card in February.
