1-10

These upgrades could be coming!

FIFA -

**Jonathan Bamba** (OSC Lille): **78 OVR -> 81 OVR**. With two Inform cards, a POTM, and a Headliners variation, the young midfielder is THE shooting star of Ligue 1. A huge upgrade should be as good as certain. (Credit: Electronic Arts)

**Angelino** (RB Leipzig): **80 OVR -> 82 OVR**. The best LB of the Bundesliga first round should also climb by two points, despite the fact that the Spaniard was unable to secure a single inform card. (Credit: Electronic Arts)

**Theo Hernandez** (AC Milan): **80 OVR -> 82 OVR**. It's a completely different story for fellow Serie A player Theo, who already has four special cards. Unbelievable when you consider that his gold card only had 80 OVR. And now imagine his Headliners variant with the upgrades. (Credit: Electronic Arts)

**Hirving Lozano** (SSC Napoli): **80 OVR -> 82 OVR**. The same goes for the Mexican in the service of SSC Napoli. After 3 informs and **an incredibly strong headliners card**, the winger should be in for a huge upgrade. (Credit: Electronic Arts)

**Joao Felix** (Atletico Madrid): **81 OVR -> 83 OVR**. His **POTM card** and Headliners variant are already completely OP, now imagine them with the possible upgrades through the Winter Refresh. (Credit: Electronic Arts)

**Yannick Carrasco** (Atletico Madrid): **81 OVR -> 83 OVR**. LM, from Belgium, in Madrid. No, we're not talking about Eden Hazard from Real. Carrasaco has long since outstripped the superstar, at least in FIFA 21. 1-2 points should be added on top. (Credit: Electronic Arts)

**Erling Haaland** (Borussia Dortmund): **84 OVR -> 86 OVR**. Things are going rather mediocre for BVB this season, but the Norwegian striker alone is keeping the club alive at the moment. EA Sports gave the attacker 5 special cards, so the winter upgrade is almost in the bag. A weak-foot upgrade to 4 stars is also possible. His POTM card is also quite good. (Credit: Electronic Arts)

**Heun-min Son** (Tottenham Hotspur): **87 OVR -> 88 OVR**. Things should continue to look up for this former Bundesliga kicker, too. Even if only by one point. Sonaldo's cards were already damn strong anyway. (Credit: Electronic Arts)

**Bruno Fernandes** (Manchester United): **87 OVR -> 89 OVR**. EA Sports usually treads carefully with players with high ratings, but there's no way around an upgrade for the Portuguese. The midfielder secured a whopping 7 special cards, including a TOTY variant. And now **another rating boost**: IMBA! (Credit: Electronic Arts)

**Robert Lewandowski** (Bayern Munich): **91 OVR -> 92 OVR**. Do we smell a **5-star weak-foot** upgrade here? Even for Lewy, currently the best striker in the world, it could... no MUST go up a counter. (Credit: Electronic Arts)

In FIFA 21 Ultimate Team the Winter Refresh is coming soon and with it fat upgrades for the best players of the first half of the season. The ratings in FUT mode usually increase by one to a maximum of three points. However, ratings for Weak Foot and Special Moves can also increase.

Best of all, if the gold card rating increases, all Special cards will climb in rating as well! Which top players will get an upgrade? Here's our prediction. The Winter Refresh event is scheduled to launch on March 12.
