FIFA 21 Ultimate Team major downgrades: Predictions DexertoWith FIFA 21 edging ever closer, we take a look at a number of players who are set for huge OVR drops in EA\u2019s upcoming football simulation title. Player ratings are a significant topic for discussion every time a new FIFA rolls around. Who will be the highest rated card in the game? Who will get the biggest downgrade on their previous rating? On the topic of the latter, we\u2019ve chosen a group of players who have struggled to make an impact in the 19\/20 campaign, and are set to be worse off in FIFA 21. This isn\u2019t necessarily the largest downgrades we\u2019ll see, but they\u2019re the ones that seem most likely given their performances. It goes without saying that there\u2019s a degree of subjectivity in these predictions, and you\u2019ll probably disagree. Without further ado, let\u2019s get into the list. FIFA 21 major rating downgrades: Predictions Edinson Cavani Rating: 88 > 84 We previously predicted a modest upgrade for Kylian Mbappe, but his PSG teammate Edinson Cavani is certainly destined for a significant downgrade. The Uruguayan international has been a staple forward in FIFA for as long as we can remember, but an 88 OVR in FIFA 20 looks bizarre when considering he has only managed seven league appearances this year. We\u2019re going for a downgrade of 4, to 84 OVR. David Luiz Rating: 83 > 79 The one thing that\u2019s plagued David Luiz throughout his career is consistency. Arsenal fans won\u2019t need us to comment on how much he\u2019s struggled since his move to the Emirates, with the Gunners\u2019 defensive issues being exacerbated through injuries and suspensions. We\u2019re predicting a hefty downgrade to 79, to reflect just how much he\u2019s struggled. It\u2019s fair to assume he\u2019ll be down the pecking order when next season starts. Philippe Coutinho Rating: 86 > 84 Philippe Coutinho is one player who was actually rumored to be joining Arsenal last summer. Instead, the ex-Liverpool midfielder made his way to Munich in Germany, where he\u2019s struggled to impress in a Bundesliga winning side. We\u2019re going for a moderate downgrade of two, to 84 OVR. This will reflect his talent, but also his struggle to adjust to life away from Anfield. Jesse Lingard Rating: 82 > 78 Lingard, Man United and England attacking midfielder, has been some way off the mark this campaign. His lacklustre form and mediocre performances have seen him relegated to cup fixtures only, some way behind Bruno Fernandes or any of the Red Devils\u2019 other midfielders. We\u2019re going for a downgrade to 78 OVR, to reflect just how poor he\u2019s been in the 19\/20 campaign. Eden Hazard Rating: 91 >88 Eden Hazard hasn\u2019t necessarily been abysmal at Real Madrid, but he certainly hasn\u2019t hit the heights that made him such an unstoppable force at Chelsea. Not suggesting he be made an average gold card, but 91 seems far too high. Other 91s are players like Kevin De Bruyne, Virgil Van Dijk and Kylian Mbappe. While Hazard was once considered in the league of those players, he\u2019s fallen behind at Real Madrid, and needs to work hard to get back to being considered one of the world\u2019s best forwards. Mesut Ozil Rating: 84 > 81 Next on our list is Arsenal\u2019s Mesut Ozil, whose appearances for Arsenal have only become harder to come by since the appointment of Mikel Arteta. He\u2019s clearly a man of incredible talent, but a host of football fans have questioned his attitude and work ethic in recent seasons. A turnaround in prospects seems a long way off for the German CAM, who we\u2019re predicting will fall to 81 OVR. So, there we have it! That\u2019s our list of possible downgrades for major players in FIFA 21. Do you agree with our picks, and most importantly the size of the downgrades?
