FIFA 20 Ultimate Team: 8 Players Who Deserved Upgrades in the Ratings Refresh

Since everyone's stuck at home without actual real-life football, fans have been making the most of virtual football by loading up FIFA 20 Ultimate Team.

February brought the Ratings Refresh, which saw 50 of Europe's top performers handed upgraded normal cards, rather than the normal procedure of handing out upgrades to everyone who deserved them. Boooo.

Because of that, plenty of stars missed out on boosted cards. Here are eight who deserved to see their cards upgraded.


Eduardo Camavinga

Eduardo Camavinga

17-year-old Eduardo Camavinga has taken Ligue 1 by storm, turned Rennes into ​Champions League hopefuls and earned a €60m link to Real Madrid. So, can anyone explain why he is still a 72?

Bizarrely, he was added to the game after the Ratings Refresh was done. They could have given him the card he deserved, but instead, he's stuck as a silver who nobody actually wants to use.

He'll be a gold in FIFA 21, but he should be there now. 


Jadon Sancho

Jadon Sancho

Jadon Sancho began FIFA 20 as an 84, and somehow, he's going to end it as an 84. despite racking up goals, assists and special cards all year with ​Borussia Dortmund.

His card is already good, but to see him given the shooting and passing stats which he actually deserves would have made him so much better. Right now, he's hardly everyone's first choice.


At 19 years old, Sancho is already a dominant force in one of the top leagues in the world, and if that doesn't sound upgrade-worthy, then I don't know what does.


Ciro Immobile

Ciro Immobile

Ciro Immobile has probably been Europe's best goalscorer this season. He's outscoring everyone who's anyone and has kept Lazio well in the race for the ​Serie A title. His reward? Nothing.

He's still an 86 overall, which is obviously good, but don't you think Europe's deadliest marksman deserves​ a little bit more? 

Immobile has already have five special cards, so you can still play with upgraded versions of him, but all of those cards should have been boosted even more. There is no justice in this world.


Mateo Kovačić

Carlos Soler,Mateo Kovacic

After an underwhelming debut season with ​Chelsea​Mateo Kovačić's 82 rating seemed fairly reasonable at the start of the year. Now, it looks more than a little harsh.


The Croatian has exploded into life this season and has been Chelsea's best player all year. His dribbling and passing has kept Frank Lampard's side in the race for Champions League football, but he's still rated like any average midfielder.


He's one of the ​Premier League's best in his position, but he's well behind when it comes to FIFA 20.​


Theo Hernández

Theo Hernandez

It's almost scary to think where ​AC Milan would be if they didn't have Theo Hernández this season. The left-back is one of the team's top scorers and has been dominating all season.

At 76 overall, he wouldn't even be usable in FIFA if it wasn't for his 92 pace. There are eight normal left-backs in Serie A ​who are better than him on the game, and that's nowhere near the case in real life.

His two in-forms are much more like it, but those stats shouldn't be reserved for special cards. Hernández deserves better.


Alphonso Davies

Alphonso Davies

What else is there to say about Alphonso Davies? The Canadian has been a revelation at ​Bayern Munich this year, dropping to left-back and pulling out some utterly outstanding performances.

He tore both Chelsea and ​Tottenham Hotspur apart in the Champions League, but is still only 72 rated on the game. His base card is barely even worth keeping.

Davies did get rewarded with an 86-overall Future Stars card, which is the least he deserves, but there should have been some middle ground. Behind Ben, Tom, Curtis and Ben, he's the fifth-best Davies on the game!​ What is going on?


Chris Smalling

UEFA Europa League"KAA Gent v AS Roma"

Yes, the world is a little bit crazy right now, but it has been pretty mental all year because Chris Smalling has actually been really good.​

Nobody saw it coming, but Smalling has been outstanding on loan with Roma, and he has been linked with plenty of Europe's biggest sides as a result of his form. So, you'd think he would be rated higher than 80.

He was made a non-rare because nobody really cared about him last summer, but things have really changed now. He's called Smalldini for a reason.


Dayot Upamecano

Dayot Upamecano

At the start of FIFA 20, everyone wanted Dayot Upamecano in their team. He's cheap, fast, powerful and easy to link with. After seeing him excel for RB Leipzig, fans were hoping to see an improved card after the winter upgrades.

Despite leading his side on an unlikely ​Bundesliga title charge and proving to be one of the most exciting young centre-backs around, Upamecano is still 77 overall, which is about as average as they come. ​

His 81 in-form is more than fair, and he even got the 86 Player Moments card, so it's clear that he deserved some form of upgrade. But no, we got nothing.
