Arsenal FIFA 20 Ultimate Team ratings predictions: Dani Ceballos and Alexandre Lacazette boosted

With EA SPORTS' FIFA 20 due out on September 27th 2019, there's not long to go now until fans can start building their new FIFA Ultimate Team ready for the new season.

But, a big question remains ahead of release, what will the updated ratings look like?

Arsenal have recruited well over the summer, bringing in the likes of Nicolas Pepe, Kieran Tierney, David Luiz, Gabriel Martinelli and Dani Ceballos, with some of these players due big upgrades for their performances in 2018/19.

Then there's the question of the Gunners' talented youngsters, with Joe Willock, Reiss Neilson, Matteo Guendouzi and Ainsley Maitland-Niles all now firmly part of Unai Emery's first team squad, they could get some big boosts too.

There could also be a few downgrades throughout the squad.

Here are our Ultimate Team ratings predictions for Arsenal on FIFA 20.

Bernd Leno

Leno had a strong debut season at Arsenal, but didn't do quite enough to warrant an upgrade.

Although, he should maintain his impressive 84 overall rating.

FIFA 19 Ultimate Team rating: 84

Hector Bellerin

Bellerin's serious knee injury came at a bad time for the Spaniard, who was in good form for the Gunners in 2018/19.

His 80 overall rating seems too low, but we can't see him getting upgraded, due to his recent injury.

Sokratis

Sokratis was arguably the club's best defender last season and deserves to maintain his high 84 overall rating.

Predicted FIFA 20 Ultimate Team rating: 84

 

Rob Holding

Holding was becoming a key part of Arsenal's defence until his serious injury, so he should get a sight boost.

FIFA 19 Ultimate Team rating: 74

Predicted FIFA 20 Ultimate Team rating: 76

 

Nacho Monreal

Monreal has been a great servant for the Gunners, but he's now effectively been replaced after the club signed Kieran Tierney from Celtic.

Expect a slight downgrade.

FIFA 19 Ultimate Team rating: 80

Predicted FIFA 20 Ultimate Team rating: 79

 

Shkodran Mustafi

Where do we need to start with Mustafi?

Mistakes, lapses in concentration and poor decision making. A downgrade is incoming.

Calum Chambers

A small upgrade is due.

FIFA 19 Ultimate Team rating: 75

Predicted FIFA 20 Ultimate Team rating: 76

 

Kieran Tierney

FIFA 19 Ultimate Team rating: 76

Predicted FIFA 20 Ultimate Team rating: 80

 

David Luiz

Luiz swapped Chelsea for Arsenal this summer, after falling down the pecking order at the Blues.

He should retain his 83 overall rating.

Downgraded.

FIFA 19 Ultimate Team rating: 78

Predicted FIFA 20 Ultimate Team rating: 76

 

Henrikh Mkhitaryan

It's fair to say that Mkhitaryan has been underwhelming in his time in English football, with both Manchester United and Arsenal.

He shows glimpses of quality but not enough to justify an 84 overall rating.

Predicted FIFA 20 Ultimate Team rating: 83

 

 

Mesut Ozil

Predicted FIFA 20 Ultimate Team rating: 86

 

Lucas Torreira

Torreira's performances for Arsenal in 2018/19 earned him a deserved four mark boost to his overall rating in the Winter Refresh.

But, we can't see him getting another boost.

Ainsley Maitland-Niles

Granit Xhaka

He should retain his 81 overall rating.

FIFA 19 Ultimate Team rating: 81

Predicted FIFA 20 Ultimate Team rating: 81

 

Joe Willock

Willock has been promoted from Arsenal Under-23's to become a key part of the Gunners first team squad in 2019/20, starting the first two league games.

A massive upgrade would be well deserved.

FIFA 19 Ultimate Team rating: 61

Predicted FIFA 20 Ultimate Team rating: 73

 

Emile Smith-Rowe

The youngster spent time on loan at RB Leipzig last season, in order to get regular football, but failed to start a single game.

However, the midfielder has done enough in his few appearances for Arsenal to warrant an upgrade.

An exciting talent.

FIFA 19 Ultimate Team rating: 60

Predicted FIFA 20 Ultimate Team rating: 68

 

Gabriel Martinelli

Dani Ceballos

Could get an upgrade after his Premier League loan move.

FIFA 19 Ultimate Team rating: 81

Predicted FIFA 20 Ultimate Team rating: 82

 

Alexandre Lacazette

Lacazette had a great season in 2018/19, scoring 13 goals and registering eight assists in 27 starts.

FIFA 19 Ultimate Team rating: 85

Predicted FIFA 20 Ultimate Team rating: 86

 

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang

No player scored more goals in the Premier League than Aubameyang last season, who is now among the best players in the division.

He deserves a rating that reflects his red-hot form.

FIFA 19 Ultimate Team rating: 88

Predicted FIFA 20 Ultimate Team rating: 89

 

Reiss Nelson

Nelson's exceptional form for Hoffenheim last season has meant an intergration into the Gunners' first team squad this season, as he's started the club's opening two league games.

A big upgrade is surely incoming.

FIFA 19 Ultimate Team rating: 65

Predicted FIFA 20 Ultimate Team rating: 74

 

 

Nicolas Pepe

Pepe was one of the most lethal attacking players in Europe last season, which led to Arsenal making him their club-record signing this summer.

His 79 overall upgrade needs a big upgrade for FIFA 20.
