EA Sports have been busy putting together lists of who they think have done enough over the past season to get a stats boost.
And while not confirmed, there’s high hopes that the official FIFA 18 Winter Upgrades for La Liga will be released today.
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 French Ligue 1 now confirmed, it appears the next stop will be the Spanish La Liga.
This is based on how EA Sports did things in 2017, and so far they’re releasing the leagues in the exact same order.
If they follow the exact formula from last year, La Liga will see the next Winter Upgrades, followed by the Bundesliga.
These were released a few days apart, meaning we might see the next Winter Upgrades announced today, or perhap March 2.
Looking to how things have been handled in the past, it seems likely that the new FIFA 18 upgrades will be revealed at around 6pm, GMT, each day.
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.
It should be noted that Only new basic player items found in packs will have updated ratings, although, certain existing in-form items will have their ratings automatically updated to reflect the Ratings Refresh.
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.
There were over 13 downgrades made in the Premier League in FIFA 17, while other changes were also made based on clashes with other kinds of cards.
Also as part of the FIFA 18 Ultimate Team Ratings Refresh, certain player items received upgrades to their weak foot and/or skill move ratings based on the players’ real-world form this season.
These upgrades apply to all existing and new FUT player items and will likely be made to other leagues as well.
There will also be the official release of the FIFA 18 TOTW lineup, which will arrive in the days to come.
