Liverpool FIFA 19 update revealed - Featuring harsh Sadio Mane downgrade

Liverpool kept pace with Man City at the top of the Premier League table on Sunday by defeating Chelsea 2-0 at Anfield.

Reds forward Sadio Mane opened the scoring, with a long-range stunner from Mohamed Salah sealing the three points.

Mane has been in sensational form this season, scoring 21 goals in 40 starts in all competitions, including eight in his last 10 appearances for the Reds.

The one incident proves Naby Keita's growing importance to Liverpool's title charge 

EA Sports have now released the latest ratings update for FIFA 19, but Mane has actually been downgraded, despite his great form.

Trent Alexander-Arnold has also had his profile reviewed.

Here are the confirmed changes to the Liverpool squad on FIFA 19 as of April 11 2019.

Sadio Mane - Downgrade

Despite the Senegal international's outstanding recent form, EA Sports have decided to give Mane a downgrade in their latest ratings update.

His attributes have remained the same, but his potential has been reduced to 86 on FIFA 19.

Xherdan Shaqiri loves Jurgen Klopp, Fabinho embarrasses referee and other Liverpool moments missed vs Chelsea 

As his overall ability currently stands at 86, EA Sports thinks that Mane won't improve any further on his current ability, as he reaches the peak of his career.

This seems more than a bit harsh though, he's only 27...

Trent Alexander-Arnold - Upgrade

Alexander-Arnold's provides genuine quality from wide attacking areas, with the youngster able to deliver consistently dangerous crosses from the right hand side and on set pieces.

As such, EA Sports have upgraded his crossing on FIFA 19, it's gone up from 84 to 85.

Well deserved.

Harry Wilson - Upgrade

Liverpool youngster Wilson is on loan at Championship side Derby County, but that doesn't stop him being upgraded on FIFA 19.

He's a big prospect, as shown by his form so far this season.

His volley attribute has been upgraded from 67 to 68, to reflect his real life ability.
