EA Sports have given the Arsenal squad a huge upgrade on FIFA 22.
Since their three-game winless run at the beginning of the season, Arsenal have become one of the strongest sides in the Premier League and currently sit two points away from fourth place with two games in hand.
The Gunners are also still in the Carabao Cup, with an inspired performance in the first-leg of their semi-final seeing Mikel Arteta's 10-men draw 0-0 away to Liverpool.
The young Arsenal squad started FIFA 22 with relatively low ratings, but over the course of the season, the ratings have slowly increased, with the latest update seeing 11 players receive upgrades, and most of them are significant too.
The latest FIFA 22 squad update was released on January 13, 2022, with the squad update now available to download on all platforms including PC, Xbox and PlayStation.
So, what Arsenal players were upgraded in the latest update? Let's take a look.
