Bundesliga upgrades FIFA 18: FUT Ratings Refresh includes over 50 new players

Over 50 new players have seen their stats changed in the latest update from EA Sports.

The new Bundesliga FIFA 18 Winter Upgrades are now live in-game, with packs available on PC, Xbox One, PS4 and Nintendo Switch.

EA Sports have been slowly revealing their latest Ratings Refresh for each league, with La Liga expected to be announced on Friday.

As usual, only new basic player items found in packs will have updated ratings.

However, certain existing in-form items will have their ratings automatically updated to reflect the Ratings Refresh.

The full list of new FIFA 18 upgrades can be found below:

The FIFA 18 Ratings Refresh began with the Premier League and was quickly followed with Calcio A.

Earlier this week saw Ligue 1 released, with these new pack items now available in-game, and set to be followed by a lot more in the days to come.

With the Bundesliga now confirmed, it appears the next stop will be the Spanish La Liga.

The Ratings Refresh announcements usually end with the Rest of the World pack items, which could arrive in early March.

Details and stats on the FIFA 18 Winter Upgrades for the Premier League and Ligue 1 can be found in the two galleries in this article.

As fans will likely already know, the FIFA 18 Winter Upgrades permanently alter the stats of certain players.

High performing players will get a stats boost, while underperforming players will be downgraded.

The Premier League saw around 60 players get an upgrade of sorts in the Ratings Refresh, so there’s plenty of room for others to make their mark.

There will also be FIFA 18 downgrades put in place, although it’s unclear just who might be chosen to head that list.
