Bukayo Saka's FIFA 21 rating confirmed as Arsenal wonderkid receives massive upgrade

Arsenal winger Bukayo Saka is getting a well-deserved upgrade on FIFA Ultimate Team this year, with the youngster's FUT 21 card finally revealed by EA.

The Arsenal youngster features on EA's most improved players list for FUT 21, with the wonderkid's rating being boosted after an impressive season in 2019/20 for the Gunners. Saka features alongside Manchester United's Mason Greenwood, Borussia Dortmund striker Erling Haaland and Bayern Munich left-back Alphonso Davies on the list.

EA have confirmed these upgrades based on the last 12 months of football, with Saka more than deserving of his overall rating boost, after being given a poor rating on FIFA 20 Ultimate Team last year.

Lets take a look at how Bukayo Saka's new FUT 21 card compares to his old FUT 20 card, with his brand new FUT 21 overall rating and attributes shown below.

Saka has had all of his major attributes upgraded for FIFA 21, including his pace, shooting, passing, dribbling, defending and physical, with his biggest upgrades coming in his passing, dribbling and defending categories.

The youngster has kept his LM position too for FUT 21, despite playing as a left-back at times last season.

Interestingly, Saka's pace and shooting has only been given a plus one, which seems harsh! His individual attributes have yet to be confirmed by EA, but this is a massive upgrade for Saka.

Saka has been given a plus 10 on his overall rating in FUT 21, with only Marash Kumbulla (Hellas Verona), Dejan Kulusevski (Piemonte Calcio/Juventus), Sebastian Cordova (America), Edmond Tapsoba (Bayer Leverkusen), Cristoph Baumgartner (Hoffenheim) and Erling Haaland (Borussia Dortmund) given higher overall boosts.
