With the FIFA 19 Winter Upgrades officially completed, it has given gamers a look at which players improved the most.

Among the players who saw the biggest numbers increases are Jadon Sancho, Krzysztof Piatek, and Aaron Wan-Bissaka.
FIFA 19 Winter Upgrades: Sancho, Piatek, Wan-Bissaka top most improved
According to GamesRadar, three players had six-point improvements for the FIFA 19 ratings refresh. Leading the way is RM Jadon Sancho of Borussia Dortmund. He increased from a 72 to a 78 in the game and saw his FIFA player card change from a silver to gold. The Borussia Dortmund team leads the Bundesliga right now.
Sancho’s October FIFA 19 Player of the Month win gives proof as to part of why they are leading. He was also listed amongst the FIFA Future Stars players not long ago and should only continue to improve as his career continues. It should be interesting to see how he rates in FIFA 20 when it arrives in the fall of 2019.
Krzysztof Piatek and Aaron Wan-Bissaka also received six-point boosts for their overall ratings. However, these two players went from 70 ratings up to a 76 for their player cards. Wan-Bissaka is the only Premier League silver card in the game which changed to a gold. He’s considered amongst the best tacklers in the European game at the moment. The Crystal Palace RB has an 88 Pace and 78 Defending amongst the best skill ratings on his card.
Milan striker Krzysztof Piatek also moved up to a 76 OVR in the game. He’s third on the Series A scoring list and just a goal behind the FIFA cover athlete Cristiano Ronaldo. He’s got plenty of potential to improve even more. It’s believed Piatek could be up to an 80 OVR when the next edition of FIFA hits the market.
