Liverpool stars Andy Robertson and Gini Wijnaldum given huge upgrades on FIFA 20

After playing a vital role in the Reds' 5-2 win against Everton in the Merseyside derby on Wednesday night, two of Liverpool's star men have been given big upgrades on FIFA 20, to reflect their real-life form.

Gini Wijnaldum was brilliant in central midfield for Jurgen Klopp's side, who also put the icing on the cake with a late goal, Liverpool's fifth of the night, to round off a great result for the red-half of Merseyside.

Andy Robertson also played a starring role in the Reds' win over their local rivals, putting in his usual high energy shift at left-back.

They've now both been given big upgrades on FIFA 20, for their performances over recent weeks.

And, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain has been given a boost as well.

Here are the latest changes to the Liverpool squad on FIFA 20 as of December 5th 2019.

Andy Robertson - Upgrade

Overall ability: 85-86

Potential: 89

The Scottish full-back has proven his quality time and time again for Liverpool, and is now surely among the world's best in his position.

Robertson has been given a huge upgrade on FIFA 20 to better reflect his ability.

The 25-year-old's composure (79-83), long passing (71-74), short passing (79-82), heading accuracy (63-65), dribbling (78-80), vision (77-79), positioning (76-77), ball control (81-82), crossing (89-90), defensive awareness (81-82), standing tackle (83-84) and stamina (94-95) attributes have all been given a boost.

This has resulted in an increase in his overall rating, with Robertson being upgraded to 86 overall, from 85.

This upgrade puts him on par with Jordi Alba (86), Jan Vertonghen (86), Samuel Umtiti (86) and Clement Lenglet (86) on FIFA 20.

Gini Wijnaldum - Upgrade

Overall ability: 84

Potential: 84

Wijnaldum's upgrade isn't as big, but it's still significant.

The Dutch midfielder's finishing (70-72), heading accuracy (74-76) and marking (76-78) have all been boosted in-game.

Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain - Upgrade

Overall ability: 80

Potential: 83

Oxlade-Chamberlain's finishing (69-70), long shots (76-78) and shot power (80-83) have all been given an upgrade on FIFA 20.

It's hard to argue with these upgrades, but can you think of any other Liverpool players who deserve an upgrade on FIFA 20?

Surely the likes of Sadio Mane, Trent Alexander-Arnold and Fabinho are next in line for an upgrade.

We'll have to wait and see.
