Bukayo Saka - Upgrade
Saka's FIFA 21 profile has been changed quite significantly, with the youngster's preferred positions on the game changed around to reflect his recent performances.
His 1st preferred position has been changed from left wing-back (LWB) to right midfield (RM), with his 2nd preferred position now LWB and his 3rd preferred position now left-back (LB).
But it's not just his position that's changed, because EA SPORTS have also boosted his overall rating from 76 to 77 overall, putting him higher than Rob Holding (76), Ainsley Maitland-Niles (76) and Cedric (76).
Gabriel Martinelli - Upgrade
Martinelli's profile has also been adjusted, with the Brazilian's overall potential being increased from 85 to 86 overall.
To put that into context, this means Martinelli could become as good as players like Antoine Griezmann, Paul Pogba, Roberto Firmino and Bernardo Silva, on FIFA 21.
Emile Smith Rowe - Upgrade
Smith Rowe is the Arsenal youngster to receieve the biggest overall upgrade, probably due to his already low rating compared to the rest of his teammates.
The midfielder's short passing (71-76), dribbling (76-77), long passing (55-61), ball control (74-77), reactions (68-70), stamina (61-68), positioning (70-72) and composure (65-68) have all been given significant boosts.
This has resulted in the youngster's overall rating being upgraded from 71 to 73, bringing him a bit closer to players like Eddie Nketiah (74), Calum Chambers (75), and above Reiss Nelson (72) and Joe Willock (72).
